What a hot topic. There stilll seemed to be 2 difinitions floating here for the word you guys keep using. The first def. says there ARE differences physically and mentally between races. Guess i DO fit that first def. then.
The 2nd def. says that AND that therefore they are superior as a person. I do not fit that def.

Originally my post was of course my opinion and no offense was meant to anyone. Some of you got angry, started hurling offenses and DID mean to give offense,

Guess i'll always believe what i believe. Thanks for the 2 or 3 that joined me and did see or tried to see my side. I thought the Darwellian argument was particularly good.

I'm big enough man to apologize to anyone that was given offense by any thing i said.
So I apologize for that.

(some professions particularly LEO's DO have to fit the first def. too if they are to do their jobs well)

In general, I agree with Monk. People are getting taller over the years, regardless of race. In the U.S., many children are taller than their parents. This may be because of nutrition and vitamins. When I write of this, I am not doing so based on research.

I think third generation Hispanics living in the U.S. are taller than Hispanics living in Mexico on average.

The major difference that is important is mental ability. The arguement is between nature..inherited intelligence, and nuture..education and training. IQ tests are really flawed in answering these questions. I have always lived near a large University. Around six in the evenings, you see the foriegn students finally leaving for the day. They work harder on their education. They are also the very best from their country. IQ is formed very early in life, before six years old. Therefore, it seems logical that the home training of parents or caregivers is everything. Race is less important. Look at the people who adopt foriegn babies. Regardless of where they come from, the early training from parents in education and values is more important than race.

The smartest single college student I remember was a black Muslim farmer from rural Senegal. When he first came to my office, he didn't speak enough English to communicate. He learned the language rapidly, making it his third that I know of. I took him to the library to explain the index systems. As I showed him things, he would nod his head to indicate he understood everything. Within weeks, he spoke excellent educated English with a slight French accent. He was incredibly popular with my graduate students. I kept wondering if he was conning me about English.

The foriegn students, especially Asians, work so hard on learning that this seems to account for their success far more than race.

Wild Bill...you are cool.

Maybe the asians genetics cause them to be harder workers......haha, gotta keep it alive.

Great satire. You owe Borat AKA Sacha Cohen a royalty for stealing his act.

God help us all.

This bit was also good.
