@ Turncoat:

I'm back and forth.

I take it you're not magical enough to know where in my apartment I am minute to minute, hour to hour when my icon says I'm logged in lol

I was just washing dishes and making and eating dinner, and lo and behold, I didn't log out.

I can do that with most of the topics on the forum.

Mostly saying the same energy that's spent here could just as easily be spent reading other perspectives elsewhere. I'd even argue that you've seen enough material here to potentially be able to argue outside of your own perspective. 

 tl;dr: It takes a lot more work for me to pretend to be a racist than it does for me to pretend to be interested in you ppl  :P

Even as a devil's advocate fueled by parody? 

 No, there's a difference between doing smthg by rote for a joke, and actually applying mental energy to looking for srs racist perspectives that are compelling enough to sound plausible. It's like wearing that beautifully crafted Nazi uniform in that thrift store years ago. It doesn't matter that I looked totally hot in it. I still left the place feeling like I needed a bath and a srs soul enema. 

Parody? Maybe...

Also, intelligence is at least 70% learned, with biology only making up part of a person's potential wrt what we refer to as 'intelligence' (which is measured by tests that are largely based on even more social constructions.)

There's no such thing as a 'more intelligent race' either.

 Are you going to site that 70%, I am still waiting.

It seems like to me that she's explaining how "race" isn't a thing in the broader sense of it, but rather that the traits we take as racial exist as genetic components of culture. 

She then states the difference between how similar and dissimilar genes respond to each other, which doesn't allude to the racial construct despite it's means of coasting on it otherwise. 

Effectively, she's taking what exists as pieces of race and splitting them from the grander assumption. 

Dude she posted right above you, it's rude to write like that.

I don't spend my days like TC with my face up against my monitor looking for obscure factoids to argue about. 

This is truly a sentence only you could produce.

Are you high or something

They're less than two minutes apart, and you seemed confused.

 Don't worry Peach, the Politeness Police are on the case. o/

 You have always said that's your purpose on SC.  Saying things you don't mean to get a reaction.  No reason not to treat that thread the same, I mean it's basically an invitation to do what you already do for fun, right?
