Re: Is white racism nec. all bad?

Why not go read Rushton's book for yourselves, instead of hostile
reviews of it? When I said, "I offer the book in evidence," I meant
just that. Make up your own minds!
Rushton offered a tremendous amount of evidence for the r-K theory
(r meaning high reproduction and little nuturing per offspring; K being
the reverse) as it applies to humans, penis size just being one factor.
And for that he produced other evidence, including the testimony of
condom manufacturers.
Again, I see lots of nit-picking and NO evidence that there are no
innate psychological differences among the various subdivisions of man.
One very, very interesting thing I learned from the book, whose
significance may have eluded Rushton himself. That is that American
Indians behave like K strategists, even though they test lower on IQ
tests than American whites. Since American Indians are mongoloid (with
lots of caucasoid features, acc. to Coon), this means that race is
important independently of intelligence. It also means that the r-K
theory does not predict everything, as Rushton repeatedly said.
