Victor Meldrew/Alf Garnett: "the resilience and quality of the Australian aboriginal genes might be less viable than those of American Indians or other races"

I can't imagine why anybody'd think you're a racist old creep, with ideas like that. Better stick to counting beans, old chap. Clearly, civilised and friendly discourse is beyond you.

CJMorgan “Victor Meldrew/Alf Garnett:”

Oh how trite. I said previously on this or another thread, you were becoming predictable and boring. It is a shame you do not see it. But then, to recognize it would require more than you can muster, intellectually speaking.

“can't imagine why anybody'd think you're a racist old creep, with ideas like that. Better stick to counting beans, old chap. Clearly, civilised and friendly discourse is beyond you.”

That is less the raptorial elegance of the wit, more the cudgel of the nit-wit.

As dearest Margaret Thatcher said

“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”

That you lack the intellect, imagination and courage to challenge my views says nothing about me and a whole lot about how deeply you are descending into vilification as a feeble attempt at bolstering vulgar popularism.

PaulL “differences between races is genetic was very popular with Adolf Hitler.”

Unless I am mistaken, genetic differences account for the colour of our skin.

I would recall the gene which produces ginger-haired people is regressive. Hence ultimately the ginger haired freckly folk are likely to die out completely.

Similarly, blue eyed children require both parents to have blue eyes.

Denying a “genetic difference between races” might be “politically correct” but it has nothing to do with reality.

Eugenics was what Hitler and others believed in. That is not the same as acknowledging the differences between races.

As I have posted before, “there are a lot of coffee coloured people in Brazil”. Ultimately that is where Australia and most of the rest of the world will be in a few centuries.

Being an absolute believer in the “chaos” of individual choices in intermixing and intermarriage and supporter in the rights of the individual to do as they see fit, I personally think it will be a good thing.

"Smallpox morbidity and genetic diversity.

"Genetic diversity, rather than immunity, may be the key, as the viral epidemiologist Francis Black argues in a recent paper. Human geneticists report that Amerindians (along with Polynesians and New Guineans) are unusually homogeneous genetically. The smallpox virus adapts quickly to a host's immunological response--not mutating into a new strain, but rather preparing for battle with other hosts of nearly identical genetic make-up. Field research on measles is the most convincing. Measles acquired from a member of one's family tends to be more virulent than that acquired from a stranger. According to Black, "virus grown in one host is preadapted to a genetically like host and thereby gains virulence." The genetic key to successfully defending against an attack of virulent smallpox is the production of histocompatibility antigens. Unfortunately, in this regard, Amerindians show only 1/64th the genetic diversity of Africans or Europeans. The odds worsen when exposure is simultaneous and from multiple sources, particularly from members of one's own family."

It seems that this indigenous issue is so bitter & polarized you can't discuss ANYTHING without being called a racist.
