Racism is obviously wrong. What's not wrong is pointing out the correct, localised and debilitating stereotypes

@envelopeme Racism is a incomplete world view, they will never mentions culture (and how that really relates to genes) and in essence encourage culutre mixing.

@vic @envelopeme Seems you entirely missed my point, trying to be a "White" or "Black" person is mostly for mixed culture individuals. I am a greek, im no way similar to a german, a Scottish man, etc. Again your culture is directly connected to your genes, and mixing culture never works. In essence mixed race individuals have tried to replace real culture with bs instead of trying to purity to the strongest blood tie they have.

@dcc @envelopeme I'm not "gene pool racist," in that I will give every human a chance. Just some start on thinner ice than others based on nothing more than how they look and sound, and while it's not "fair," it's just reality. Some of that is race, which they can't control, and some of that is how they dress and carry themselves, which they can.
I do believe a lot of stereotypes exist for a reason, and I believe racial statistics about crime and other things are very telling.
If there's a smart black man (yes, they do exist at the end of their own bell curve), do I hate him because he's black? No, but it will, through no fault of his own, take a while for me to warm up to him. He can blame his kin for that, not me, and a smart person understands that.
I wish I lived in a world where race was skin deep, but I don't, and I refuse to pretend that I do.
