I was sort of joking... I meant that French isn't a race... it's a nationality. I was about to say that French people are white, and therefore race isn't necessarily valid, but actually there are black French people as well, and I'm sure some Asian. Technically there are only three races... if I spell or write them wrong, forgive me, but I believe it's caucasian (white), negroid (black, African descent), and mongoloid (oriental... chinese, japanese, as well as Native Americans). So technically, a white American being racist towards middle eastern people would not make much sense... they're both from the same race. It's just bigotry or whatever you want to call it.
Like I said, I was sort of joking, being a pain in the ass about semantics.
