Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Anybody still remember this:

Well, we used to have poor relations that came from Africa. We were told we were related to Hussein, who's busy these days explaining to Moochelle about how he just had to tell the BJ joke and involving her in it.

Our stock apparently rose much higher than Moochelle's ire June 4th when it was determined we are much more closely related to an Asian ancestor. Cool, now we have a budget surplus and kids with a huge work ethic. What a big difference a few days make!

This research is racist.

RE: This research is racist.

Racism: The doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others.

In what sense does this research meet the above definition?

[TigersEye]

Yes. It’s saying that humans came from Asia not Africa which makes Asians superior to Africans.

How does the conclusion follow from this observation?

[TigersEye]

They came first.

[SeekAndFind]

OK< they came first, but how does that lead to the conclusion that those who came first are genetically superior?

[TigersEye]

Your definition said nothing about being genetically superior.

[Sirius Lee]

Awesome! GO IRISH!

RE: Your definition said nothing about being genetically superior.

OK, let’s take the word, “genetically” away... how does being first make one SUPERIOR?

My father came after my grandfather, yet, by my observation (and our family’s observation), he was taller, stronger, faster and even smarter that his old man.

Even my grandfather concedes this.

Well the asteroid took care of that evolutionary path 65 million years ago.
Good work asteroid :^)

But the human race is superior to all others.

Are you sure?

You’re wound up really tight aren’t you?

[Vermont Lt]

That looks like Chris Bosch.

Just following an argument to its logical conclusion...
