Not to put too fine a point on it, but some people use this as a definition
for "culture" and something much more scientifically derived ("biological")
as a definition for "race." Discuss amongst yourselves...
Now--to start another argument--when do we use the term "sex" vs. "gender"
when making the difference between male/female? :) apologies to Anne
El-Omami!

After all, "a class or kind of people
unified by community of interests, habits, or
characteristics" seems an extraordinarily broad definition
of "race" offered by Merriam-Websters Dictionary.
