Souze, re:"Religious, cultural, racial, sexual or gender based, bigotry always couches its bigotry in that logic: we're inherently superior, they are inferior." This is very true. However it is also true there is a lot of pressure to be politically correct and say everyone is same. Everybody should clearly have same rights, opportunities, etc. regardless of sex, race, age etc. However i think most people are somewhat bigoted and biased. Its seems to be a natural part of being a human being. As a case in point: Black people seem to be more naturally athletic than whites who seem to be more naturally athletic than indians/chinese. Is it bigoted to make such an observation? Or is it only bigoted if i make the above statement and i am black? regards, Kash

"Bigots have always shown that their self-identified group is ..." The two groups under discussion are not "self-identified". They were "identified" by millions of years of evolution. These groups are _topologically_ different in contrast with other groups you mentioned which can be mixed in any combination of features, so the boundaries of "identification" may be lost altogether with any logic behind it. No one is saying anything about inferiority or superiority, just that the two groups are different, with apparent consequences in social roles and behavior. Do you have a problem with that, or what?
