Anthropology & the Geek

When asked how many races there are, and can you name them, to say, "At least four: human, elvish, dwarf, hobbit...oh, and orc; that makes five" marks one as a geek.

And then you double-take and realize that the question must have been more aimed at answers like you'd find on the demographics portion of a survey. Ooops.

Klingon, too.

I tend to lump most of the races from the classic Federation together, and see the Klingon/Romulan political... thing, as separate. 'Ni confuse race with nationality in head. Bad 'Ni.
