Just WTF is "racism" these days, anyways?

[Pwns]

Consider this:

A nobel-prize winning scientist says American policy towards sub-Saharan Africa is flawed because it falsely assumes that ethnic Africans have evolved the same level of intelligence as ethnic Europeans. Barely anyone in the media mentions it and there is hardly anything to be found on the 'net about it.

On the other hand, a young woman makes a youtube video complaining about what she perceives as rudeness by one ethnic group. She does nothing to suggest that the rudeness is somehow biologically innate within that group. All hell breaks loose. The girl gets death threats and has to drop out of school. Practically everyone who gets news from the net knows about it. It's even seen on TV news as well.

Now which one of these comes closer to the actual definition of racism and is really more dangerous rhetoric? And why is the reaction so completely different? It's getting really hard to take anything that diversity-mongers say about race seriously with this kind of cognitive dissonance going on.

this nobel prize winning scientist isn't by chance a german is he? the above sounds a lot like the ethnic 'science' that swept europe before the Great War and after its close.

The chick's youtube went viral on the net... as that's what hilarious youtube videos tend to do.

I wonder why dry, academic papers don't go viral?

You're telling me a scientist making claims about average IQs of different ethnic groups is the same thing as papers on boring and abstruse science?

Do you agree that there's unjustifiably a lot more outrage over the youtube video than there is over the scientists comments or not?

If the scientist had big boobs and did a youtube video, it would go viral too...

I was assuming the scientist's comments were made in a scientific paper... as that's where scientists usually make their arguments. If that's not the case... link whatever article or op-ed or whatever it was.

There isnt any racism these days.

Too many laws, too many watchdog groups, too many things that slant the field in the favor of minorities.

The only people that are being racially profiled and bigots have full reign over is white men. Its perfectly ok to bash them, beat them and make examples of them.

We elected a worthless black president for fu*k sake, racism ended the minute that happened.

You realize that a LARGE percentage of the US population pays zero attention to anything related to science or scientists, right?

Depends on what the subject is. What d-back says about sex appeal helping out is true, but why does she get condemned as being a bigot while James Watson barely gets any flack for his comments about blacks?

your white guilt for the crybaby minorities is at odds with your love of the Nazis

Did he get flak from the scientific community?

Nazis have been out of power since '45. Then again, you think it's 1862.

Third reich? I'm starting the fourth, try to keep up, dawg.

Your God sure does have a sick sense of humor when you look back through history.

Regarding Alpha's post, I am assuming his tongue was firmly planted in cheek with the Obama comment. The first part was actually right on. White men are the last acceptable socioethnic group to discriminate against in this country.

He tests us.....we pass. the story is ALWAYS the same.

considering that this whole experiment called 'western civilization' is because of us one would think they would be kissing our ass.

Nice avatar bar. You must have really shelled out the dough for that.

Nope. Only criticized Jim Tressel and Ohio State.

I think we're about to get back into the mandatory dorm curriculum again: whites are racist by definition.
