Who is talking color? (Certainly not me, with a wife the color of Whoopi Goldberg & tri-racial kids).
But we're NOT all one people, at best merely one species.... and even that doesn't count for much. Truth is, I have cats I like & respect more than most people. And there are people I'd keep OUT of a lifeboat to leave room for these cats.
Just being Homo sapiens doesn't make somebody special, or neccessarily better than other animals.... or even plants. Just being Homo sapiens doesn't mean they're more like me in the ways that count, or that I'd like them better than I would those cats.
Hell, I can get along with ANY of your basic North American biota, ranging from rattlesnakes to mosquitos, better than I can get along with some of whom presume to be members of my species. NeoNazi nutcases come to mind, or anybody of that stripe.
Think about it, would you rather be on a planet with several billion humans & nothing else, or with a sprinkling of decent folk (of whatever "color") and a viable ecosystem?

Yup. And these "some of us" DO come in all colors & flavors. Just as do good people.
Eh, that is why the catagory "my people" allows entry for any good people anywhere. This is a VERY traditional Native American attitude, btw. It's something that certain Whites have trouble understanding, that being "Indian" is an only nominally racial catagory.
