Well the racial issue isn't really that "up there" in europe...
I don't know anyone who've spoke much about race since my history teacher in 6th grade talked about adolf hitler...
but in america it's still a "thing"
True. Just using the word race about humans is seen as quite racist around here..

Willfiully ignoring social tensions is a terrible way to create a peaceful, diverse society. And if you believe that Sweden is a colorblind, religiously harmonious utopia, please do yourself a favor and avoid the inevitable flying bricks and flames.
I was confused what a Moor was since Shakespeare's play depicted a Moor as black while most Europeans depict them as Middle Eastern.
During the Middle Ages all "heathens" were depicted as black, red and blue and even checkered.
During those times, fresco paintings were "instructive" and people were iliterate so they had to use colours to teach.
Moors at that time were Berbers, since blacks were a extreme rarity both in Europe and North Africa. Black were a "luxury" item that showed that his owner was extremely rich.
The Holy Wise Men are a perfect example, the Egyptian wise man in portrayed as black, and people only knew about blacks from Roman literature.
Chinese were sometimes portrayed as blue men dressed in shiny silk.
Was there ever a Moor 'race'? If you look at medieval depictions of Moors, they ranged from people who looked like Sub-Saharan and Nilotic Blacks, tan Berbers, and even European looking. All those 'looks' can be found today in North Africa.
are there people in europe who still consider themselves of the moor race?
if so. where are they mostly populated?
Gee, I would not even dare use that word, it is almost as bad as ni**er.
There are some older words left, though, which include the word moor, for instance Mohrenkopf ("moor's head") in German, which is a dark chocolate coated marshmallow candy stuff

I'm not saying everyone is evolved, but most people discussing "race" as being an issue here are seen as unintelligent/uneducated/ignorant by the vast majority, kind of like you would view an illiterate person or a person proclaiming earth is flat...
No, the human species. But there are several races (caucasian, negroid, mongoloid, australoid), like all creatures on earth.
I am a rather progressive person, but I never really got that saying, either. It is pc bs in my view. Races come about via the separation and isolation of groups of the same species, which applies to dogs just like it applies to humans. There is nothing bad about the fact that there are races, nor does race mean pure. After all, each group already started out diverse to begin with, and often groups would overlap at the borders of their regional distributions. The fact all modern humans can mix and reproduce, also is in line with what race usually means, i.e. not different enough to prevent mixing. The same applies to dogs.
