And talking about White people being the victims of racial stereotyping while basing an argument on a racial stereotype of Jews! Nothing goes better with chips and dip!

Such a multi-faceted personality. He must be great at parties.

You may not know the history of the Jewish people and that is okay.

Except Jews never had the privileges and power that they were portrayed as having, especially not in Central and Eastern Europe in from 1850-1933. White people do have such privilege and power, and until they can be convinced to relinquish some of the disproportionate advantages they have, those who are…

Wow, your feelings have been really hurt by this, haven't they? Is it because you want to hang onto your right as a white man to do whatever you want? Or because you can't stand women and POC contradicting you? Nothing you've said can be backed up with any research or sociological theory, so I think it is funny…

Jews were never actually made the "default" by the Nazis. They were made an ethnic "other" - culturally, biologically, and psychologically different from the "norm" of the Aryan race - and it was their "pollution" of German society that the Nazis considered responsible for the troubles of the Weimar years. Along…

Hear hear! That was my first thought when reading this article.

You on this thread = solid gold.

Wow.

Why are 90% of you comments needlessly dismissive and rude? You haven't demonstrated the knowledge, intelligence, or wisdom to justify your haughty attitude, yet you feel entitled to it.

That picture, now many many years removed from context, is just so funny to me. He looks like a character from the straight-to-DVD Top Gun sequel, and his crotch straps look very painful.

Can I just say that you are my hero/heroine? gck cherry-picked a study and then completely misinterpreted the results to argue against something that we have both correlative and causal evidence for, and the article you linked is a perfect summary.

And you completely misinterpreted the study you cited, so I fail to see how you are more adequate at reporting medical news than the Harvard Gazette.

And as for the curious suggestion that the 'Japanese culture' is in any way preferable to the American one, well, if one prefers outrageous racism, total denial of history, a healthy dose of barbarism and slavish devotion to authority, then for goodness sakes ask for Japanese citizenship.

What did Iraq have to do with 9/11?

What about the genocide of indigenous peoples, committing the three deadliest days of WWII, the indefensible invasion of a sovereign nation based on fabricated evidence, napalm, Agent Orange, the Mai Lai massacre, the murder of surrendering soldiers in WWII and Vietnam, arming rebel groups in South America to directly…

Saying that we're "obligated" and that it's ok to force people to pay taxes simply because they "live within our borders" is just as asinine as saying that it was ok for plantation owners to force their slaves to do shit because "they lived within the borders" of the plantation.

Are their any other reasons for not vaccinating children beyond the whole "vaccines cause autism"/Jenny McCarthy thing?

I mean human rights and all but if you're not from Russia then its not really for you to tell them how to govern themselves.

Wow. Anyone who non-ironically invokes "Europe" as a legally and culturally homogenous land-mass isn't worth taking seriously.
