I have just come to the profound conclusion that the only way a
person
can qualify as a "racist" is to have a different amount of malanin in
their skin than
yourself. Why does David Duke call Rev. Farakahn a racist? Or vice-versa ?
If you could melt them down, mix them, and pour new molds, they would
still sound the same. Except they would get together and pick on someone
who was a different shade from them.
That "BellCurve" thing was rediculous. What was found was a
variation
so small that if the study were done over the result could have just as
well have
been on the other side of the curve. But it was immediately loudly jumped
on
as "racist" by anybody with an axe to grind. And blown completely out of
proportion by the only people who had anything to gain. The TV networks.
If it
had not been for CBS etc; the scientific community would have ignored it
and
it would have died a quiet death.
