That statement doesn't make sense. Generally and inherently are not the same, in a sense they are opposites. Asians are generally good at math from what I have seen and experienced, not inherently.
I said
may be in general terms inherently. I was giving a hypothetical, but do not have an opinion since I have done no research other than general observation. These topics generally don't interest me. My question was, if a researcher were to find that there may be some general correlation, does this make the research not true, or the research racist? It sounds like you are saying it is scientifically impossible, thus no research would be valid. You likely know more than me, and thus are right. My opinion is that it is not racist for someone to do the research on this topic.
It is sexist to think that women are only good at raising children and men are bad at it, and all women suck at fixing things. Yes. But not generally, because generally speaking you would probably be correct.
I was speaking in general terms. However, I don't think it is sexist to think that women may have biological maternal instincts that men don't. I don't think it is sexist to think the amygdala (the emotional center) in the brain is different among men and women if the research says it is so. For instance this information is useful in determining that homosexuality may be determined at birth, not by choice because of similarities between the female's brain and homosexual male's brain. You are going to have to include many scientists who discover this research to be true as sexist. To have a conversation about it, without accusations of sexism is necessary to advance knowledge.
Dude, I'm not "PC" or whatever.
I believe the difference between racism and PC is shown in a person's tendancy to think one race is inferior, and some level of hatred or intolerance is evident. By your definitions my grandparents would be racist. This is
YOUR OPINION by your broad definitions, but I know them 100,000,000 times bettter and they are not racist.
By your definitions, you would have to include many researchers who inches close to these topics who may despise this same topics for fear of being called a racist.
I know myself I would be damn well sure someone was a racist before implying someone is. My opinion is that the one who always jumps to conclusions that a racist remark has been made, generally creates racist tensions, and (although probably unintentional) actually exascerbates the situation and puts down the group thought to be targeted., In other words a mountain is made out of a molehill, and division is created where before there may not have been any there. Yes I do think these precise definitions are silly and sort of P.C, with the inherent, general stuff, as people interechange them all the time, and they are not going to speak or write precisely. I understand what you meant, and again I would presume you are right about there being no inherent differences, and social pressures being the determinant.
So, I guess we can just agree to disagree and you call it racist and I call it P.C. This is why I usually stay out of these topics, yet I happened to break my own rule. This is not even in defense of O.P the person, just in defense of those who are defending the O.P's topic as valid.
