I got a good chuckle from your imagery :^). It also reminded me of
something I heard in Jerry Pornells Group(extremely right wing) on BIX.
This was long before TBC. They were having the same eugenics argument back
then. Of course to them, blacks were inferior. Then the subject turned to
how asians proved to be smarter using the same criteria that they used to
denigrate blacks. One poster wrote "It might be true that the average
asian is more intelligent than the average white, But I bet intelligent
whites(Which of course they believed themselves to be) are more
intelligent than intelligent asians".
This is comical to me. It made me think of the line in the movie "The
Right Stuff", when the president is asking how the Russians got ahead of
us in the space race. He says, "Were they using German scientists." The
aid answers "yes, but our germans are better than there germans"...
