Sorry, Gordon, did you not admit to being a borderline racist?

Cultural relativism is becoming the norm which I think for the advancement of civilization is pretty dangerous.


Yes, I agree with that.



Have you ever thought about the effects that culture can have on brain development?

Gordon himself said he's racist.

Why makes you say I think you're racist?

I'm curious.


I just wasn't sure.

I was being glib. I'm a containerist, you know that. Now nick off, you're late for prayer time.

In terms of shaping behaviour, beliefs and values, yes; but this does not reflect the race of a person.

Not race but brain development.

You need to think of the brain as a muscle and using it in different ways strengthen different areas and on a population scale these strengths and weaknesses can be inherited.

Aboriginals are a culture without mathematics and being isolated for so long probably has put them at a disadvantage for learning advanced maths.

On the flip side, having no writing has probably developed memory abilities.

The big question is, how long will it take for education to address this. Hopefully the neuroplasticity of the brain will mean it doesn't take too long.

I'm not a neuroscientist so I can't speak to the specifics of brain anatomy. What I would say is that all brains are the same in that they're capable of learning or unlearning anything. In the case of indigenous peoples the wiring of their brain would be different, but that doesn't mean that they're not capable, especially at a young age, which is the key point.

The brain during youth is very malleable.

Not at all. You're only a containerist when it comes to defending the Canadian Yid race.

For everyone else, you're a borderline racist. You're what they call a self-loathing Canadian Yid.

Well yes, but what Gordon's saying is not if they're tinted.

It most certainly is. Gordon is first and foremost a racialist. He only recently came out, so it's early days.

Unlike Homo, Herbie and Sprint et al, Gordon is not comfortable admitting it.

Funny how the do-gooders on here overlooked the aboriginal leader who said she'd like to see Australia burn to the ground?

So why would I date (and nearly marry) an atheist Muslim?
If my Persian princess was embuggered with fundamentalist Islam I'd not even want to talk to her.

And what does have to do with the indigenous peoples being supposedly racially inferior to the 'White Man'?

As far as I'm concerned she merely expressed an opinion, which she is entitled to do. Although I disagree with her speech.

So, what's your point?
