Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed)

Nowhere on the agenda of the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics, being held in San Diego this week, is a topic plaguing many of its members: the recurring appropriation of the field’s research in the name of white supremacy.

“Sticking your neck out on political issues is difficult,” said Jennifer Wagner, a bioethicist and president of the group’s social issues committee, who had sought to convene a panel on the racist misuse of genetics and found little traction.

But the specter of the field’s ignominious past, which includes support for the American eugenics movement, looms large for many geneticists in light of today’s white identity politics. They also worry about how new tools that are allowing them to home in on the genetic basis of hot-button traits like intelligence will be misconstrued to fit racist ideologies.

In recent months, some scientists have spotted distortions of their own academic papers in far-right internet forums. Others have fielded confused queries about claims of white superiority wrapped in the jargon of human genetics. Misconceptions about how genes factor into America’s stark racial disparities have surfaced in the nation’s increasingly heated arguments over school achievement gaps, immigration and policing.

Could it be that these people are idiots, or worse? Where do they get this sh*t?

“And when a blogger at the far-right Unz Review noted that the DNA variations associated with high IQ in a 2017 study of Europeans were at the lowest frequency among Africans, the study’s lead author, Danielle Posthuma, wrote in a published reply that such cross-population comparisons were spurious.
“This,” she wrote, “is a very deep-rooted misunderstanding.”

Oh, really? Explain.

No explanation? Just an unsupported assertion?

Now that’s the scientific method in practice. You start with what the leftwads wish were true, and then lie, lie, lie, and spin, spin, spin, and nowadays even attack people, if you think they’re too weak to stand up to you.

Only chocolate milk is free of the taint of white privilege.

”Sting of rebuke is truth..”

From your posting history it appears you get your “truth” straight from the Völkischer Beobachter.

[Original Lurker]

Nope.

[Bethaneidh]

Funny how there’s a milk hotspot in west africa.

Then indulge by explaining who these “Talmudic Kabbalists” you are referring to are.

[familyop]

It’s okay to be lactose tolerant!

;-D

"Say, Amy, why don’t you write a piece about the Talmudic-Kabbalahists, humm?
You know, those liars that make white supremacists look like choir boys.
You know, those “people” who think the world is supposed at their beck and call."

"Talmudic-Kabbalahists?" That doesn't even make sense. Your comment looks like speech from a heritage that took a wrong turn.

[familyop]

Yep.

All Mongolian Recipes
Airag
Fermented Mare’s Milk
(often known by its Russian name “Kumys”)

[Excerpt:]
“Fermentation destroys the lactose in milk, converting it into lactic acid, ethanol, and carbon dioxide. This makes Airag acceptable for lactose intolerant people, which includes many Mongolians.”

"The low average IQ scores of some of those countries is most likely due to an inadequate diet for infants and toddlers."

Those low scores and low general intellectual performance are not confined to existence in "those countries." Western culture countries have been pouring food, money, equipment and knowledge into "those countries" for over a hundred years.

And now that a few of our richest misanthropes describing themselves as philanthropists have done their utmost to make sure that people in "those countries" have Internet access and more knowledge of western culture countries, hordes of people in "those countries" are stampeding into western culture countries as fast as they can instead of improving their homelands and governments. Wrong answer.

And those misanthropes describing themselves as philanthropists, in a spoiled rotten tantrum resulting from blaming their own failures on the rest of us, are anxiously and vengefully helping to move as much of the populations of those ****hole countries into western culture countries as fast as they can. The result? Balkanization and conflicts in western culture countries for lack of ability to assimilate.

so this is a conspiracy theory against scientific consensus?

science people denying milk does a body good?

just a bunch of deniers is all they are
