So you'll get quiet racists.
Let the man speak for fucks sake. How else do you avoid this type of loon? God help you if you become friends with one of these types and after months of friendship he says he can't come to the pub "because it's the Fhurer's birthday" or something.
Historically he's right. he doesn't see that it's due to societal conditions and so on, but his statement is factually accurate. Most stuff and important thought has been done by white, middle aged men.
That's because people who aren't allowed to leave the house except to have babies or are chained to ships don't get a right lot of physics done, just this fathead can't see it.
Neither would I. There'll be one somewhere though. And keeping them quiet really isn't a solution, is it?
It's incredibly annoying to have certain opinions, beliefs and attitudes out of open discussion, theres no informed choice and it leads to a distorted view of mass agreement which might not be the case.
Most middle class folks would be horified to hear a bunch of factory workers on their lunch break, for instance, and those workers feel that what they see as legitimate views are being ignored. Then we get the BNP being voted in here and there.
thats so true its almost satirical
I'm not racist, but...
Some of my best friends are black...
etc etc
:rolleyes:
The student body of Leeds should have the right to kick seven shades of shit out of him for saying it.
Problem solved.
"Freedom of listening" - I kinda like it.
Its quite simple - there is no evidence to support your assertion that white people are genetically more intelligent and black people are gentically better athletes. None, zilch, nada. Geddit?
Theres plenty, just that the tests that lead to those conclusions are probably flawed.
If you accept that bellcurves are valid, like most nsurance companies do, then theres loads of evidence. If you don't accept that bell curves are valid, like handwringing lefties who know fuck all about statistics and have already made their minds up that we are all equal then there is no evidence.
The "evidence" suggesting that white people are generally more intelligent is much harder to measure because of social and economic barriers to education.
and why do you think that is? Genetics? Or social and economic factors?
Well, exactly, this is precisely the point.
What a crock of shit.
You're funny!
It's a widely held belief though, one I ascribe to. If it's wrong, why so? Are there not genetic differences? I'm open...
I read last week in an article about body-builders that womens muscle is equal in strength pound for pound with mens- something I'd always assumed otherwise. Didn't address the fact that men are predisposed to a lower body fat percentile and men to gaining muscle easier though.

I will find a source saying africans have higher testorone for you later, its lunchtime now but just a quick search there are references to it on the net, nothing 'hard proof' though.
