   Now, Albert Einstein also mentions "Europeans"...   
   but I'm from Brooklyn New York so I have no idea what he means   
   by "Europeans"!   
      
   Are French people "Europeans"??? Is French a language or a Race????   
      
   Like for example, is Spanish a Race or a language?   
      
   "Europeans", wat the hell is dat??   
      
   What color are they?   
      
   Albert Einstein seems to think he is better than everyone else...   
      
   what color is he?
