I guess what I don't entirely get about this view point is...for instance in the U.S what culture do we even have? I don't really see a defined culture to adopt to really. Whereas in places like france or Great Britan there is more of one so I can see places like that wanting forieneirs to at least respect the culture...though I think it would be ridiculous for said countries to demand immigrants shed all their foreign heritage and pose as being of only French or British heritage for instance. So I do kind of get it, but I don't see it applying too much in the U.S. or other places with such a mixed culture already.

U.S. culture is greed: take something before someone else takes it. We veil it around concepts such as opportunity and work, but it's really about greed. Aside from food, water, and shelter in inclement weather everything else is irrelevant to living, yet you hear Americans talk about their trinkets (car, iphone, house, etc.) as if they're the end all be all to existence.

Most racist autistics are probably just bitter because the liberals totally side with the civil rights movement but don't even notice that autism rights movement.

I understand racism but I don't understand why people choose to be racist. We are all people.
Why do people feel the need have to treat people differently based on how they look and who their ancestors are? It makes no sense from a logical standpoint. I hate it.

I suspect most people are genetically inclined to be racist due to the evolutionary process which favoured/rewarded tribalism...
I suspect, either children have to be taught to be racist, probably by their family, or develop racist tendencies when their reasoning faculties develop to a point where they notice a difference between their "tribe" and others...

Racism isn't inevitable, imo, but the intellect would have to be engaged to battle the impulses created by our primitive reptilian brain which works from a base instinctual nature...

The reptilian brain has also been attributed to the tendency for some (more so for NTs than aspies) to loose themselves in group/mob think/mentality and engage in mob violence...

Moral of the story?
Avoid neurotypicals in groups/gangs...

Yes, more that a little tongue in cheek, though there is validity to the logic involved...

Too much caffeine, I'm afraid... :wink:

"Caffeine (/kæˈfiːn, ˈkæfiːn, ˈkæfiːɪn/) is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class of psychoactive drugs.[9] It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug, but unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world."

the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons for many generations, not just 3. takes a long time to overcome our original sin [subjugation of the colored]. the kids of today's kids gotta do it.

I can honestly say I´m not a racist. I truly don´t think any ethnicity is above another.

There was a considerable controversy in regards to a book call "The Bell Curve..."
"The book was controversial, especially where the authors wrote about racial differences in intelligence and discussed the implications of those differences."

Here is my racist breakdown:

Blacks - don't feel safe around - pre-judge as dangerous - don't want to be around.

Low class whites - nearly all my people interaction troubles come from lowly educated whites - there are tons and tons of them - whites as a group seem destine to do manual labor work like be plumbers or carpenters, rarely do I encounter an intellectual white person

Upper class whites are tolerable - they have nice cities with their wealth - I live in such a city now.

Hispanics - never encounter them where i live

Asians - i feel the safest around - they are mostly short and seem the least threatening - my only friends are Asian. We can share intellectual jokes that might not be appreciated by members of the other groups.
