I get your drift, but I'd probably put our genetic diversity on par with dog breeds (we might be slightly more diverse if the studies on Neanderthal DNA proves that there are significant markers there); however, the end result is most likely negated, because unlike dogs we have a lot of genetic admixture (which is a good thing; seen the problems with purebred dogs lately?) Plus phenotype and genotype are not the same thing -- people can't seem to get their heads around that.
But I'm not going to feel sorry that some racist got embarrassed...
And I'm getting lost with the dog jokes (and no, I don't want to know, because I have a hunch that I don't really care about whatever it's about).
Race is an illusion for the most part. Human differences are far more cultural than genetic. Yeah, we have some Neanderthal and Denisovian DNA thrown into the mix too. I find it interesting.
Sorry about the references: Meade likes dogs...in not the healthiest of ways.
By the "racist" you mean the so called "white supremacist." But that is the most superficial and obvious thing depicted. What is interesting is what Chip Ahoy noted, the over all racism was almost universal. We have a natural tendency to get tribal (which made sense in our evolutionary past) but can be a hinderance today.
What part of "any of them" is singular? Although when being confronted with somebody who claims people like you are subhuman because of the color of your skin, and then being able to tell him "guess what buddy" -- I'm not sure anyone could blame them for a bit of a racist, tit for tat response back, at least not be surprised by it.
And yeah, I'm not at all going to be like "oh, pooor old guy...", he's a fucking racist; he gets what he has been giving. (and with what some white supremacists say he's getting off really damn light here -- probably because the news that he's a "mud blood" can't be topped, which in a way is another slap in the face to the people laughing, so sure, give him shit ladies, no pity for him).
I do not have sympathy (or pity) for anyone on a reality or talk show. With some exceptions, my predominant feeling is complete boredom with twinges of contempt.
He should be going over to Rev. Al's house for Thanksgiving. Those two should get along famously.
ReplyDeleteThe so called "races" have less genetic diversity than most dog breeds.
ReplyDeleteWe are all mutts...but don't tell Meade or he might get excited.

ReplyDeleteAll persons should pause and consider that.
