Go away sargon of akkad.

Nobody gave it any thought. The word 'racist' didn't exist in the English lexicon until the early 20th century.

Look up "world IQ chart"

THEN look up the genetic heritability of IQ

Combine those facts in your lil noggin' and you've got yourself an answer

>>9708874

Look up the flynn study about the white iq in 1900

there is literally nothing wrong with racism. it is not actually the origin of all evil in the world, contrary to what you were taught in public school.

This. Everybody is racist and sexist to some degree. It's just a part of the human condition.

>Almost everyone unites in declaring 'racism' false and detestable. Yet absolutely everyone knows it is true.

How did many enlightenment thinkers justify their racism and why were so many European intellectuals at this time racist?
Do you consider humans to be atomic entities in nature, or do you view ontologies to be false abstracts motivated by human perception?

Sage.

you talk like it is this given that people should think that preference for their own people and ways is this terrible, immoral thing without any sense or cultural or societal benefits.

why do people who have adopted these arbitrary values of like just the last 30 or so years so thoughtlessly presume that they have the end-all, master-key knowledge and ethics?

I'm not saying "racism" is good, I'm saying more that it's a non-issue. people preferring their own is simply law-of-nature status. like attracts like. you prefer what you are.

Actually agricultural civilization is when the bad turned to good, as in religion that came with morals. Now with "progressivism" we are just turning back to our animal like state.
