Re: Aryan invasion theory and race

Just out of curiosity. What is "Race" for you guys anyway? Is it identical to "Colour"? If so how many "races" are there? I ask because it seems that frequently accusations of "racism" have little to do with colour. Has "race" become as meaningless a concept as "fascism"? White, Black, Brown (?), Red (??), Yellow. Are there "in betweens"? Why is Obama "Black"? All this sounds extraordinarily primitive to me. There has to be more to this than mere colour. Or is it the accidental (historical) association of certain undesirable traits (which are totally independent of colour) with colour? Is all this just another example of the massively growing guilt syndromes (with respect to European "whites" anyway) which Freud long ago predicted could lead to an awful social explosion? (Cf. his "Civilization and its discontents" (1930).
