Against which race, exactly?

Take your pick.

No. You made the accusation of racism. Which race is Edward Abbey being racist against?

All but his, it seems.
Care to rank some races based on culture and morality?

He mentioned culture and morality. You mentioned race, not him. So, if Abbey denigrated the culture and morality of the only the French, would that merit an accusation of racism?

Cut the crap - you brought up race. You interjected, and continue to interject, the false notion that culture and morality are tied to race somehow. That one's skin melanin content somehow determines which culture to which one will subscribe or how moral one will be. Neither I nor Abbey espoused any such nonsense.

I asked first - against which specific race(s) was/were Abbey's comments racist?

You can't answer my question because you know it would be racist.

False.

No, true. Spiff's entirely correct. Abbey mentioned nothing about race.

(He didn't say genetically impoverished, if that was the source of your confusion. He said generically impoverished. World of difference)

I didn't say he did. And yes, I can read.
