Is racism wrong?

[pr126]

Apparently there is Master race, and here is the proof:

Quran 3:110
Yusuf Ali: Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.

The Japanese also love to kill themselves and consistently rank in the shit tier of happiness. Yeah, Japanese master race, wooooo....

Also, didn't you say in a previous thread your Japaneseness wasn't a big deal? Hmm...

Jesus Christ... We could be discussing earth tectonics or the super bowl and you would find some way to turn it into "omg Muslims ahhhhhhhh...", wouldn't you?

First thing that comes up when you type 'Master Race' into Google.

The master race (German: die Herrenrasse, das Herrenvolk (help. · info)) was a concept in Nazi ideology in which the Nordic raceâ€"a branch of what in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century taxonomy was called the Aryan raceâ€"represented an ideal and pure race.

And this:

No segue too difficult. No soapbox too high.

Big shock that someone of Japanese descent would think themselves superior. That thinking worked out great for Japan on  August  6, 1945 and there happens to be a neighbor of Japan who would like to slap down that Japanese arrogance and send you all right back to the sun where the emperor came from .. metaphorically speaking of course.
I have nothing against Japan, but you're not superior to anyone as a race and it could be argued that the arrogance makes you inferior.

But the Japanese were merely trying to be European, like the Germans ;-(

The PC answer is that race doesn't exist, which may true scientifically, but in reality it's not.

I've gotta say I find this idea that scientific truth can be brushed aside for personal ideology really fascinating.

"You know, scientists say that the solar system has only 8 planets, which may be true scientifically, but you know, the reality is that there are 13."

I already know you're trolling as best as you can, but damn, do you even listen to yourself?

I think that certain groups have physical traits that are measurably different than others, and I think you could probably apply that to behavior as well.  Saying that, I thinks it would be extremely difficult to differentiate between nature and nurture as the cause of those behavioral differences.  Also, I think differences in members within the same ethnic group are probably greater that the differences between groups.

The Atheist - You say you perform better at school and seem to attribute that to your Japanese heritage.  OK, is that the way you were raised or do you think it's Japanese DNA?  Assuming it's the latter and we give you that, how does it stack up with your other traits such as athletic prowess, artistic expression, group dynamics, individual creativity, success with the ladies and so on?  How do you measure "better" when you take everything into consideration?

I'm a relatively big guy of primarily Northern European descent with just a touch of Middle Eastern and Indian (South Asia) DNA to spice things up.  I have brown hair, brown eyes, and olive skin.  I performed better than my peers in school and in the military.  I served in Spec Ops units with other exceptional soldiers, who happened to be from every ethnic group you can think of, some of them 1st generation immigrants.  Once we worked as a tight knit team for a while we all started performing and behaving much the same and our ethnic differences became unimportant.  We could be assholes at times, but our in-group was our unit, and the out-group was everyone else.  It didn't have a damn thing to do with DNA.

I define racism as an unfounded belief that an individual just because of being race x must be y. Reporting on actual racial differences or correlations between race and another variable is not racism to me. And racial differences are actually shown to exist by science, what you meant probably is that racial subgroup have not being defined in the taxonomy of the homosapiens. But the process of the creation of the racial differences is well known it's basically the 70k-120k years of isolated human populations breeding in differents continents post early human migrations and pre invention of intercontinental travel and regular migration. This racial differences currently exist in a very smooth continuum so classifying the groups is subject of great debate.

Maybe I hold an incorrect view, but I feel strongly that career choice should be determined by race. Asians can focus on STEM areas, whites can focus on business and politics, and blacks can focus on entertainment and sports.

Or maybe you're just a troll who thinks he's found a niche as a resident pot-stirrer?

No rational person believes what you just said. You're just being a dick.

You are seriously saying that we should force people to follow certain careers based on their ethnicity?
