Although Sorting People into 'Races' by Temperament Rather Than Visible

question 47

Multiple Choice

• B) the Lakota word for black people, which translates to 'fat people from afar.'
• C) the way that surfers classify non-surfers.
• D) the Australian norm of classifying others based on what they wear on their feet.
• E) Actually, sorting by temperament was explained as a very strange practice, so none of the other answers is right.
