Thing is most of our country men and women are integrated into their own societies and people can become siloed...human nature I suppose.

I remember some years ago there was some incident in German media, many years ago, where a white young man was accused of "racism" when he said that until then he happened to have never slept with a black woman. But he just had not met any black woman, and thus could not say that she would have interested or attracted him or not.

I have never had an Indian friend. Obviously I am Indiaphobic, if not racist?!

The West's moral compass has lost its needle, and wear and tear have corroded the direction markings so that often the one gets mistaken for the other. Today, if you do not agree to the demanded opinion, you are phobic to reason, or "racist".

In other words, you are either mentally ill, or a dangerous extremist. Forget what I said about that broken compass above. The whole damn thing went amiss a long time ago.

And at the end of the day, the Swede is successful. His dinner in hand, he triumphantly poses for the camera.

All that remains now is notes for the next day; the bait with which to cast tomorrow.

Have we integrated with our aquatic friends?

Genes tell truths, that'S why politcally correctness activists and social campaigners and radical feminists tend to completely ignore them. Like it is also ignored that intelligence gets tremendously influenced by genetic passing, and that the human IQ over the centuries and millenia probably has not grown, but shrunk, and that the more successful medicine becomes in allowing people with genetic diseases to live that before would have died, the more this helps to weaken the general human genepool and spreads the disease.

People prefer the likes of themselves. That is genetic, and in ancient times, it made sense, when every foreigner to the tribe was just a threat to one's own limited food resources, the only water hole, and mating rights. To get together with different ones, foreign ones, is cultural and sociological, and gets learned (or not, some ideologies even teach the unlearning of it). The genetic heritage roots much deeper in our nature, than culture. And Freud said, civilization is a very thin layer of paint on the surface of our abyss of animalistic heritage.

The poll was probably done in relation to this...

You act like this is a new thing, it's not. Those that disagree have always been labeled something derogative. Those names change but the intentions remain the same.

I tried making friends with a fish once but he kept forgetting my name every seven seconds after that a penguin ate him.

So I tried to make friends with the Penguin but he was German and had no sense of humor.

The figures highlight how segregated the United States remains in the wake of a debate on race sparked by last month's acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of unarmed black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. President Barack Obama weighed in after the verdict, calling for Americans to do some "soul searching" on whether they harbor racial prejudice.

If Im not mistaken according to the investigators, the courts, the prosecutors, the defense, and the jury. Race was NOT a factor in this serious of unfortunate events leading to the death of the late Mr. Martin. Race wasn't an issue until it was made a issue by the most self-righteous reverends, poverty pimps, politicians, and media and the local subsim fisherman

Tis better to be color blind and see only other human beings.
If they bleed a different color, then I might be a tad prejudiced. But, probably not.... "Welcome to Earth.":salute:

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.:up:

I guess it would depend on how one defines friend.

I suppose I am one of those who only have friends my own race... Perhaps because I have very few friends as I place a much higher definition on friend than some others do. I have many more acquaintances than I have friends.

But I know other people who consider everyone they know as a best friend.

To each his own. But it does make collecting these statistics a bit more problematic.

The argument is simple. In past times, life was more in danger and technical options and comfortable safeties were few. People not outsmarting their environment and it's risks and unable to maximize the options it provided them with, did not survive, did not reproduce. The easier our lives has become, the lazier we can live, the less caring for our survival we must be since culture an social stuff replaces survival of they fittest.

I tell you if you would meet some educated guy from let's say the Roan or Ancient Greek era, his (standardized against the time context) education would outclass yours, and he even more probably would outwit you.

Before you keep on giggling, do some research yourself, and you will find that this is a theory that currently is hotly debated in science, since several years. Originally started as a provocation against the academic schematic thinking, it has won a self-dynamic and earned it solid support.

And just in case you are about generally opposing the genetic heritage of intelligence, against science has left you behind then already. There is a very huge consensus since decades that genes set the framing conditions inside which the final intelligence of an individual forms up. I know that socially oh so worried people are hating to be told this, but reality does not bend just because ideology claims it should.
