Nicholas Wade: "Race is a perfectly good English word." Reich, p. 253
I go with Wade here, and if you read Reich closely, especially at places like p 258, his conclusions there come to the same linguistic result as Wade's:
IF SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES IN COGNITION AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR BETWEEN POPULATIONS, NOT JUST SUCH THINGS AS HEIGHT, SKIN COLOR, PHYSIOGNOMY, BUILD, ETC, AREN'T RACIAL, THEN WHAT ARE THEY?
You can adopt Paabo's distinction among so called clines, but Paabo knows, and Reich knows, that it doesn't wash.
