Hmmm. I didn't realize that the "goosebumps" thread was race-related. I haven't opened it for a long time, though, so I don't really know. Maybe it took a turn I didn't see.
Anyhow, I have always operated under the impression that people of any and all races, creeds, colors, or sexual orientation experienced goosebump symptomatology from time to time. Is that incorrect? Unless we're talking about people who possess no skin. The skinless would naturally go through life goosebump free, I suppose. But, it's generally considered difficult, at best, to establish the race of a person with no skin. In cases where a person is utterly skinless, alternate means of determining race must be employed. Bowling aptitude, for example. If utilizing a house ball and renting shoes, a game of bowling is a fairly inexpensive and usually highly accurate method of determining race. Of course, bowling while skinless can, in itself, be problematic. In cases of that nature, it's vitally important to wear a silk bowling shirt exclusively. Bowling shirts made from other materials, synthetic or otherwise, can irritate the skinless person causing his or her bowling score to suffer potentially resulting in a false negative.
