Category talk:Races and Tribes

Revamp
As I'm seeing this page, I can find three points that worth a discussion in my opinion.

1. Fishmen and Merfolks appear to belong in the same race. Even if they used to be different races, the crossbreed is so common that I doubt we can speak of two races at the moment. We can only speak of a race with two general groups of characteristics. It is not like having black and white people, but more like having blonde and black-haired people. This becomes clearer if we think that racism, which is a common phenomenon between the relationships of fishmen/merfolks and humans, is not affecting the relationships between merfolks and fishmen.

2. Space pirates are not a race (obviously), they are a group of people who belong in a yet to be revealed race. We could name their race "Aliens", since they are the only known race of the outer space.

3. Longleg, Longarms and Snakenecks seem like Humans to me. It is not confirmed that they are different races and all the info we have speak about different tribes. Tribes of humans. They have some different characteristics, but as long as we are categorizing humans as one race, we cannot exclude them.


 * Solutions: a) We can remake this category as "Races and Tribes". If we do that, we have to add the other known tribes of human here tho, like Okama Tribe and Kuja Tribe. b) We can redesign the race of Humans to something that includes only the humans that follow the standard criteria of Humans in the real world. Something like to make a "Common Humans" race, which refers to humans of One Piece that looks like humans of the real world. I vouch for a.

I think the problem here is more foundamental. First, the page should be renamed to species. Those species should be the alien species, the merfolk, the dwarves and the humans. Now, the humans should have subcategories called races. Those races should be longleg, longarm, snakeneck, giants etc.etc.etcVazelos3 (talk) 12:35, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
