Attempting to classify people according to their 'race' has been shown to be a completely a futile and meaningless exercise and, in the past, has led to terrible suffering and injustice. The colour of President Elect Obama's skin may well be important to him, and might be an important part of his personal identity, but it is no-one else's business! I think that Obama, and the majority of the people who elected him, understand that.

For me, the most important part of this particular election victory has been the TV pictures of people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds joined together in celebration - those are pictures of a world worth fighting for!
