Subject: Re: race...science


bob' now I am confused. I see no defensiveness in my argument with Jim, other
than that he's rude and ridiculous. As for deference to pc, it seems jims
position was the pc one..no?  I am just finding a strange resorting to "bad"
science in a lot of this...and all I had to say about race was that on some
level of course there is race, its just about defining it. If that makes me
rascist, then so be it. The world operates in a large and mostly unfortunate
way because of its postions on race, and what it thinks about it. If one wants
to believe that this will all go away if change our definition of race, then
I'd have to disagree, or if one thinks that Jim's blathering non definitions
would make the world different I'd like suggest this as one of the great red
herrings of the whole pc movemnet...and suggest reading Marx. Maybe I',m not
getting your position,,,in fact i know I'm not...like WHERE is my deference to
PC??
