by ParanoidilutionI think you may have missed the first part of her post.
"It's undeniable that Asians have higher IQ's on average, and we also know that African Americans need worry less about skin cancer. "
She's going back to race and generalizing in inaccurately broad terms, and she's comparing a genetic trait (melanin production) to a cultural one (IQ). These are indeed two things I've been trying to stress in my posts are unscientific and bigoted ways of thinking. I feel like I've repeated myself five times, so I think I'm entitled to be a little bit snippy.
Especially when my input had been discredited simply based on the length of my time here rather than the interactions I've had with people after all the work I put into sharing it (not to mention my college degree lol).
I think if she really gave two shits about this topic, she would do more research and find that the information I've shared is very much in line with our modern understanding of genetics and culture. However, some people are just too comfortable with archaic ways of dividing, labeling and classifying or own kind.
She was talking about what is observable from statistics today, and not what she claims is our genetic capabilities. I find you're usage of the bigot card ironic, aren't you the same person who tried picking on Dex because you claimed he had hypospadias? Perhaps you think she's bigotted, because you're projecting.
by ParanoidilutionI disagree with your perception of her intent.
I am discussing and have been discussing this topic for days now.
I am done repeating myself to you and everyone else. Fuck, man, I tried. Some people are beyond help.
If you're actually interested in understanding the truth of the matter you'll re-read and research. If you're not, you are welcome to remain in the dark and discuss your ameuter hypothesis based on early 1900s misconceptions of genetics.
Peace out, homeslice.
Her intent is a discussion. I quite enjoy the discussion. It's too bad you're not interested in understanding what its about and what she has to say.
by freebehindmymaskIf I remember my studies correctly, isn't the fertile crescent what we now call the Middle East. I don't know if whites came from there. I thought it was mostly Egyptians. As for Asians being superior, hey have the Tiger Moms prodding them to greater achievements.
By the way, I don't think capitalism is a very good thing. Especially now, capitalism is in it's decadent phase and is trending towards fascism.
Kinda mixed. You have the both middle eastern and Eurasian steppes-based ancestry throughout Europe. The south has more middle eastern ancestry, whereas the northern european ancestry is closer to that found in Ukraine and Russia.
