Arab is the race

And yet the country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia -- most definitely not Arab.

Race can be anything.

As for this fight, GLs win. but not because of Baz (who's only feat is breaking through unintentionally a wall when he got the ring)

You just proved that Muslim is not a race...you just disproved your own argument. calling Muslim a race is like calling Jewish a race... Judaism and Islam are religions...

Synonyms
1. tribe, clan, family, stock, line, breed. Race, people, nation are terms for a large body of persons who may be thought of as a unit because of common characteristics. In the traditional biological and anthropological systems of classification race refers to a group of persons who share such genetically transmitted traits as skin color, hair texture, and eye shape or color: the white race; the yellow race. In reference to classifying the human species, race is now under dispute among modern biologists and anthropologists. Some feel that the term has no biological validity; others use it to specify only a partially isolated reproductive population whose members share a considerable degree of genetic similarity. In certain broader or less technical senses race is sometimes used interchangeably with people. People refers to a body of persons united usually by common interests, ideals, or culture but sometimes also by a common history, language, or ethnic character: We are one people; the peoples of the world; the Swedish people. Nation refers to a body of persons living under an organized government or rule, occupying a defined area, and acting as a unit in matters of peace and war: the English nation.

A race is pretty much any group of people that share a common anything.

except that group is already defined by a religion...so are Catholics, Christians and Buddhist a race now too?

Unless you're prepared to call every mainstream religion a race...Muslim is not a race

What have I said that would make you believe I'm not prepared to call every religion a race?

Any group of people sharing a common (significant) characteristic is a race. I'll draw the line before calling Apple fanboys a race, but religion, ethnicity, etc? Absolutely.

The limited definition of race is not how it works anymore. Get with the 21st century. Language evolves.

Religion is not race

Unless you think atheist is a race

Sigh...

Non-belief is not a characteristic. It's the baseline, the null hypothesis, whatever you want to call it.

Religious groups are races because they share common history, beliefs, culture, language, etc (not necessarily all of those conditions, mind you).

So if you convert religion, you change race?

I thought race was a contest of speed 😉

Yes, you do, because Johns, imo, actually handled it really well. He's not a charicature at all.
