X, I do have strongly bigoted and culturalist tendencies, but weak racist tendencies. The strength of my aversion to other humans' cultural practices is directly proportional to the differences from mine. Some I have contempt for and think they should be caged. I do think some races are superior to others. The 4 or more crowd are definitely superior to white ones in sun-resistance for example and almost all members of the 4 or more crowd have that advantage. Tall races are better at picking apples. Short round ones are better at avoiding hypothermia. I think I am sick of this now and can't be bothered. It's meaningless and pointless. A 19th century and 20th century discussion. It was just your accusation of 'racism' which irked me. Especially since jfred can't reasonably be classified as racist in any meaningful way. Culturalist by all means. Bigoted of course. Racist...well, no. Mostly, those who sling the word 'racist' around, seem to say more about themselves than those they accuse. Though you might say that's a wild, culturalist generalisation. Mq
