      mutts are an average of their parents.

      If two people that arn't different in anyway (people of two different races) breed, why should the offspring be superior?

      Evolutionarily speaking, it's called heterozygote advantage. Not too sure how relevant it is to this, though.

      I've often heard this 'hybrids are superior' rhetoric, but what is actually 'better' about them? Do they actually live longer? Have less disease? Well one thing they do have is an almost impossibility in finding organ donors. Something actually relevant in modern society, more relelvent than some niche parasite.

      They're sexier.

      Also a wider array of immunity to disease.

      'they're sexier' is a personal opinion. I think whites are the most attractive, non-white being less so, and mixed being at the bottom.

      Yes stormfront.

      Bingo.

      Wanna know how I knew?
      Because they also have that air of smugness about them, where they try to claim they aren't racist while participating in a forum for racism, making only racist topics.
      But I have a feeling that they sincerely believe themselves to be not racist. And they'll try to make you feel like the bad one if you call them racist. Just like you.

      Weak, love. I recommend exercising some informal logic with the misses during tea time, as well.

      Thankfully, you acknowledge that people like me exist in large numbers on both sides. There is no way around this, we arn't going anywhere soon. This leads to the issue of, why even have multiculturalism in the first place if you can forsee race riots? or racial tensions at least.
      On both sides? In regard to issues of racial tension, you're precisely admitting to be the problem. The honesty is appreciated, Thatperson, and I'm glad you're confessing. Unfortunately, salvation, let alone psychological mitigation, hardly comes from personal avowal; you must atone.

      My answer to ThatPerson shouldn't have been deleted.

      It was funny. It was appropriate. I shouldn't have even dignified this thread with the first two answers (that didn't get deleted). I just thought that it was a legitimate question that deserved an honest answer. But then I saw his sig. So I wrote a little story.

      It was not racist. Specifically, I was making fun of predjudices and not people.

      All black men can jump. Isn't that a funny statement? AHAHAAHHHAAHAHAAHAH
      All black men order fruity drinks. AHAHAHHHHHAAAHHHH
      All white men have small dicks. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA
      All white women always end up with black men (and conversely, all black men want white women). we can presume that this is what most troubles ThatPerson (aka RacistTroll) as it most always seems to be. Have you ever lost a woman to a black man RacistTroll? Is your girlfriend hot? You should introduce her to me.

      I saw the enemy and I struck. I struck brutally and viciously. And I'd do it again.

      Granted, It was a sub-optimal literary effort. Parts of it seemed bulky.

      I could write a better story, I guess.

      Brutal + Vicious + Racist = Post Deleted.

      At least here you explained it better. If you had done that the first time maybe it wouldn't have got deleted. But I gotta say, I'm still hovering on the brink of deleting this one too. You don't seem to know where the line is or when you've crossed it.

      Also, yeah sure. I'm not too fond of lines. Especially not lines between me and the enemy.

      In case you can't tell, I'm trying to ridicule a racist here.

      Well, your post was filled with racist statements, and the 1st time you didn't explain. I just decided to nip it in the bud before it drew a bunch of angry replies and the thread degenerated into nothing but argument.

      And yeah, I can see you're not fond of lines. But that's ok - that's what mods are for.

      Philospherstoned, first off, my girlfriend wouldn't give you a second glance. Secondly, How do you define racist? I ask because it means different things to different people, so I want to know exactly what you are acusing me of being. Thirdly, how am I 'the enemy? what are you then, some black supremacist? And finally, what about my sig?

      I didn't read the thread, as I usually don't.

      One major reason Africa never developed as much as Europe and China and other places has to do with the arability of the land. Farming cannot occur on the same scale or fashion in Africa as it could elsewhere, thus the people had to struggle more for basic necessities. This means the people simply would not have as much time to develop non-essential skills and would have to compete with each other on an individual basis more often.

      Why did Europe dominate the world for several centuries? Because it's best potential competitor, China, turned its back on a naval empire sometime earlier. In addition, the states of Europe were highly competitive and desperate to one-up each other. This meant branching out for more territory and resources to secure an economic advantage.

      I was thinking about your sig earlier, Thatperson, and how incorrect it is. There are racists in every race, not just white people. It is considered bigotry to point something out in another race as a whole, so "anti-racists" tend to be most focused on racism in their own race, unless they feel they are victims of racism from another race.

      At the risk at breaking this taboo, I'd like to point out that I think Mexicans and Chinese are more racist than most whites, by in large. I'd say a good portion is just as racist as you, but they don't victimize themselves like their culture is being taken over, they just treat their own race much better than other races.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      So you're deleting the pastiches of racism and leaving the actual racism?

      The ends do not justify the means, Xei. No matter how factually wrong everything Thatperson's posts have been, he did not resort to cruelty. To condone PS' post would be to justify Thatperson's self victimization.

      Sufficient rebuttal has been provided to OP claim; the argument has been dismantled. Hopefully, Thatperson's taken to heart our words of advice regarding his tendency toward weak, inductive conclusions.

      Bickering about the archaic and terribly obsolete term race only exercises bad form.
