This was in reply to the statement that there is no racism on SDN, in the 5th reply. I wouldnt say that my argument was out of the blue or a subject change - instead it continued a progression that began very early on, and one you began participating in on the 11th reply - my first post was well into the 3rd page.
Sexual preferences are not the subject change in question, moron! The subject change is your attempt to change the subject from racial preferences of
any kind to
outcomes which just
happen to favour one race for one reason or another. In short, you're basically using the "quota" argument, complete with percentages.
Yes, you created a hypothetical scenario in which racism actually has a valid scientific basis, for reasons which are either dishonest or cretinous; I'm not sure which.
It's a shame you think that actually - our positions here and on a multitude of topics are actually far more similar than they are different.
In this case however, your position on racism seems to be that the physical characteristics of a race cannot be tied to that race, even though that's the only real method we have of identifying races. You attempt to tie this to intelligence, as if intelligence is as tightly connected to race as physical appearance is: an argument which is, for the second time, either cretinous or dishonest.
In any case, you seem to have answered my question - yes you would consider NASA racist in my scenario. Very well - it's clear that there are certain details we're never going to agree on.
Wait, you're saying it would NOT be racist to have a policy of preferring whites over blacks in your retarded hypothetical universe where whites are demonstrably smarter than blacks? It would still be racist; the only difference is that this imaginary universe would hold an actual empirical basis for that racism.
No, I just observed that there do not seem to be any current lines of discussion that have not been branded "off topic" or declared otherwise uninteresting or irrelevant. Nothing being posted right now directly or, according to you indirectly addresses the original op, which is about how many will admit to racial discrimination against non-westerners (itself nonsensical) and whether SDNetters perceive Asia as socially inferior and backward or not.
Nothing is being posted right now which is either relevant to that question or its obvious corrollary, what is and isn't racism. And an attempt to apply the argument to hypothetical worlds where racism actually makes sense
is a retarded subject change, whether you admit it or not. So once again: are you going to insist on repeating this bullshit until I either lock the thread or ban you? Second time asking.
