Comments on: When Racism is Bad, and When it isn’t (Necessarily) http://terminalfrost.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/when-racism-is-bad-and-when-it-isnt-necessarily/ Rearranging me 'til I'm sane Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:32:25 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Cristobal http://terminalfrost.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/when-racism-is-bad-and-when-it-isnt-necessarily/#comment-14162 Cristobal Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:18:04 +0000 https://terminalfrost.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/when-racism-is-bad-and-when-it-isnt-necessarily/#comment-14162 I completely agree with you. I'm not a racist, but if there's a thing that annoys me is "political correctness". I was just reading a book written by Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park, called "State of Fear". In this book, Crichton criticises the belief in global warming and ecologist groups. I'm a biologist and the book bothered me a little, but to some extent he is right about some points. Nowdays, it's politically correct to consider inherently good the conservation of the environment and ecological causes. But if you say something rather different... they hang you! You are an industry pig. The same thing, but more extreme, happens with racism. There's practically no way yo can say anything off-mainstream about racism without being inmediately considered as a Nazi. Political correctness is sometimes a dogmatic view of things that impedes us to rationally think and express new points of view. For them, you are with us, or you are against us. No third opinions, no grays, only black or white. Interesting blog. Hope you read this and write back! There are few people that really think. I completely agree with you.

The word racism, as people use it today, has scientifically no meaning. The human race, or Homo Sapiens, can be compared with one dog race, or one bird race. Sure, dogs of one race can come in different colors and some other features, but their DNA tells us that it is one race. Homo Neanderthalsis though, that was another race that lived side by side with Homo Sapiens. Actually, we mated with them, but eventually, outcompeted them, as did the harsh physical surroundings due to the race's lack of creativity. Other historical races, mostly our forefathers, whoose bones we have found, like Homo Floresiensis , Homo Erectus, Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo Habilis..ect. All this biological research, almost seems as a waste of time when people keep ignoring science and talking and doing things in therms of the law, monkey see, monkey doo....The actual concern these days though, as well as in history, is religionism. It is religionism we see on news every day... We are Homo Sapiens. The word racism, as people use it today, has scientifically no meaning.
