Finally, a good comeback from me

If they bleed green, they're Vulcan...

Or Romulan.

Just as feline said, many people of a certain ethic background look alike. Can one pick out various nationalities in the Asian spectrum? What about a Hispanic background? Not many people can. Heck, I'M Asian and I can't! (well, not many) I always have to guess unless the other person tells me so. So, simply saying Asian fits most people of the ethnicity. Same with the term black. Yes there are the Africans and the African Americans, African English etc. - but often the term used to describe them is black. Who here has NOT used that term? One can even say White, but then within that there is British, German, South African, Latvian, Nordic, etc.

So, use just a general broad term for the various backgrounds is much easier when you really don't know the actual heritage of the person. Why be so PC? Honestly, PC is getting so overrated these days. I been called Oriental before and apparently it is supposed to be "offensive" to Asians. *roll eyes*

But what if someone's Mom pirate and their dad wasn't? What would you call an offspring of those?

Hmmm, Human, junior pirate?

(even if you have a little bit of Pirate heritage, you're a PIRATE!!)

RUM?

OOh, a new song (if you watch my link):

Everyone's a Little Bit Pirate!

Never understood that myself, actually. I think of "The Orient" and it seems like something you'd romanticize (and yes, I realize that is because it was romanticized).

But is Pirate in the Human or non-human spectrum? And where does The Doctor fit in?

Semi-Pirate? Or "You, Pirate Bas--rd!"

Well, Pirates are Human!!

So far I havn't met any non-human's, but then again I havn't visited any other planets yet. hehehe

I HAVE met a few humans that come dangerously close to not being one!

You know, that song is exactly what was going through my head as I was reading this thread...

Though I saw this version, too.

(And it has Zazu in it, too, though in a non-singing role)
