"I mean it is insulting, but I never thought of it as racial."

I agree, it is not racial, but it is VERY insulting. As hubby pointed out a good synonym for Neandrathal is Knuckle-dragger. It implies "unevolved", "primative", "backward looking", etc.

But am I anti-Irish-American when I say that Ted Kennedy is a drunken mick? Because I am very proud to be Irish-American and that drunken lothario is a disgrace to my people.

At least the Neanderthals weren't thin-chested scrawny democrat types. Can you imagine what the Neanderthals would have done to Clinton, Carter, or Daschle --- or Kennedy if they'd ever met up with them?
