i don't.
ye cannae have it both ways me boy. please give me an
example of logically consistent, experientially
re-inforced, economically explained racism.
i agree that there are general tendencies according to
nationality or perhaps even race:
eg americans are generally loud and talk a lot
the english generally have an inferiority complex
the japanese are generally very polite.
are we not moving ever forward to a global melting
pot? what are racial differences anyway? skin colour?
genetic differences? cultural differences?
please help me see the utility of racist inquiry
