He's certainly not mastered the logic of Mexican being a nationality
rather than a race.
And you do not understand that many words have either various meanings or
shades of meaning. In fact, usage defines meaning.... "human race" is
technically incorrect... humans are a species, but contemporary usage has
made this acceptable.
And you do not understand that there is such a thing as the incorrect
use of an expression, including the widespread misuse of expressions.
Also, previously you were arguing that it's proper to speak of 'race'
whenever people share some property in common. Well, surely being
human is something that all human beings have in common. So, by your
own standards, the human race is precisely that.
