Tried Hoover, knowing it was wrong. Tried Coolidge, knowing it was wrong. Then thought, maybe I've been misreading everything for the last 20 years or so and tried Boosh, there were two of them. Finally got Roosevelt.
I am not an expert, but I would be hesitant to call Moors an "ethnic group". Isn't "Moors" ("Los Moros", which I think should mean "the dark ones" in Spanish) simply the contemporary European/Christian name for North African and Iberian Muslims of any ethnic background (Arabic, Berber or other)?
An ethnicity is just a group of people with something in common. The thing they have in common could be anything, even simply that they all identify as being part of the same ethnicity. A lot of people conflate ethnicity with "race," which leads to many errors. First of all because race does not exist in human beings, and second because ethnicity doesn't necessarily have anything at all to do with genetics.
Human race certainly exists as a social construct. Also ethnicity is not as broad as 'just a group of people with something in common'. 'Left handed people' is not an ethnicity for example. But I agree with you that ethnicity is also for a large part a social construct.
Race does exist as a social construct, but only as a social construct. If you start trying to place people into racial categories it will inevitably lead to problems as, objectively, race does not exist in or apply to humans. The popular conception of it does not conform to reality; acting as if it does will lead to errors and misconceptions.
and to clarify: the reason that this is so is because the popular conception of "race" in humans is that there exist very large, cogent, discrete groups of people with a common genetic heritage that all share traits in common. This is hogwash. That we, based on this fallacious idea, then start putting people into racial categories based on how they look - that is a socially constructed phenomenon which does happen. But the groups that these people end up in, if they accept the grouping themselves, are better and more accurately described as ethnicities. Because even if you self-identify as "White" or "Black" that doesn't mean that the "White" or "Black" race of humans is actually a real thing, as defined above.
Alright, I accept that the answer is what it is for the James Bond film. I'm not much of a James Bond guy, I wouldn't have known it. But I am infinitely disappointed that 007 (pronounced "Double O Seven" for those not familiar with the franchise) isn't accepted as the default answer anyways. /endobviousjoke
When you say "last name of two presidents", which country are you referring to? In Korea, there are two presidents with the "last name" "Hoon", although their surnames are different, but this would fit the clue as you write it..
I'm assuming you're referring to a president of a country, although there are presidents of companies too, which would produce countless answers. Very vague wording for this clue.
From what I've read, "Voodoo" is generally not used for the Haitian religion, and "Vodou" is used instead to avoid confusion with the Louisianan religion which is indeed spelled with a double O. Could be wrong on that, though.
Ah, the very essence of an existential crisis.
