See my post #173. This is pointless.

I will only add that your fixation on the bogus science of the Nazis, misses their significance. They have been used as a bogeyman by the far left to intimidate those who actually wanted to study physical anthropology, to understand the great differences among human types. The Nazi theories, at the time, were a bad joke, ridiculed by every serious student of physical anthropology, starting with the idea that they represented something called the "Aryan race."

There is an Aryan language group. There is also an Aryan race, which came out of ancient Persia and provided one of the highest castes in India. Neither has any connection with Hitler or the Nazis--albeit the latter adopted an Aryan symbol (the Swastika). But you apparently take the Nazi nonsense, seriously enough, that you cite it as though it was a serious theory. You need to get away from doing all your research on the internet, and actually read some of the books by serious physical anthropologists.

The only thing I’m “fixated” on is you claim that Nazis are not racists. That conclusion’s at least as bad as their scientific support. Having bad science behind racism does not keep someone from being racist.

If you want to promote physical anthropology, I’m sure you’ll weather any general opposition. But you create your own when you call reasonable explanations “tunnel vision” in favor of your radical “history” of intellectually challenged Muslims found in only a few sentences of a logically flawed, highly speculative and obscure 40 year old article. Saying Nazis are not racists after that doesn’t help either.
