Another Pc knee-jerk reflex. It's OK to talk about genetic differences when it is complementary to non-whites (white people, you just don't care), for example, certain tribal groups in Kenya tend to be very good distance runners, yet if one mentions negative genetic traits ! You is racialist.

I'm beginning to think you're a bit of a dunce.
No one claims Kenyan runners have a genetic disposition to run. The Kenyan runners all come from one tribal group that:

1. live at high altitudes (>6000 feet)
2. have a diet optimised for long distance running (little meat, high carbs).

And not all of them can run. Perhaps there's a running gene, but if a Brit with it was born and brought up in those conditions he'd be a world beater.

Incidentally the Ethiopian runners also share that kind of environment.

awesome. just awesome.

inside the mind of ace00:

Plusses: Hmm. Good runners. Good dancers. That Lenny Henry is quite funny. I enjoy the music of Will Smith.

Minuses: Genetically predisposed to mindless criminality and violence. Possibly want to boil me in a massive pot and eat me.

Good post. I actually did laugh out loud at that, my black colleague (and lunch buddy) gave me a funny look.
It's a complicated subject, no-one really knows how evolutionary genetics works for humans, I think it's a kind of distillation of cultural mores, as well as physical environment conditioning. But my point is that there are differences and they should be discussed rather than instantly dismissed as racialism. I do not think that one group is overall superior to the other, and also that an individual should be judged on their merits, nothing else.

Give the man an inch, and he takes a moonbase.

You seem obsessed by dinner parties. No one invited you recently?
The dinner parties I attend are populated by successful intelligent people, not the retards we sometimes see on here, so there is usually no need for me to hold forth

No, there I just get to spit on people and wear jack boots.
