Sieg Heil, Troll!

[hineybona]

all men are created equal...they just don't stay that way ...

[Lexinom]

Every human being has unique gifts and talents. All are created by God for His purposes, whether good or evil, all glorifying to Him.

Are all human beings the same? No. Are there certain groups where certain traits are more predominant than others? Yes. If we get past our Pavlonian knee-jerk inculcations and open our eyes... this is obvious: people are different, and groups are different. Equal in rights as protected by state? Yes. Equal as in all the same? No way. I would not want to live in such a boring world where everyone looked and acted the same. Would you?

Now I have a provocative question: If I make the observation that Asians tend to be quite good in math, and blacks have a proclivity towards music and athletics... DOES THAT MAKE ME A RACIST?
