    Denying diferencess actually regresses the human race. What should be thought is that personal and cultural differences have much bigger influence over behaviour then biological ones. And that humans have this thing called a brain, whos internal wiring can be changed to different levels of being an asshole.

    If you don’t accept the basic thing, you won’t understand the advanced one.

      Lumping people into groups and applying attributes to those people based on the groups they find themselves in denies the individual their right to be different.

        Hence I said that it is far less important then individual and cultural differences. But I guess being righteous is more important then reading.

            Some people seem to base their entire personality on their race and/or sexuality.

            Hence the rest of what I said. But yea, being right is more important then… anything.

            I guess saying things like “asians have lower lactose tolerance” is also racist, even though I am also lactose intolerant.
