Replying to a comment on:

Mixed Quartet (Free verse) by Dovina

They were variously toned, but harmoniously united. They broadcast a whole, surpassing parts summed. Soprano: orientally quick, precise. Alto: whitely sharp, analytical. Tenor: latinly soulish, devoted. Bass: Africanly smooth, limber. But they were all the same race, geneticists say.

A pretty reasonable conclusion, the way I think of it is that by imposing a type you are generalising and as such are innacurate, thus the type is only of value if it is useful to you (such as a way to describe a persons image), in instances where it harms, its use is no longer reasonable. On a similar note just what race are different people, are they memebers of the human race or the caucasian/negro race or the european/african race etc ???
