What was that psychologist that proposed that personality was based on appearance? It was a theory about 100-150 yrs ago, part of it stated that fat people are always jovial...its absurd, almost as absurd as this argument. |

If youre reffering to an example I gave about my grandfather hating the Japenese, basically what I explained was that its still illogical for him to think that, there are people out there that still recognize that war is hell, and theres probably japanese that think the same way about white people. Its still a stupid way to think, but Im not going to call him out on it because he went through some shit, and its not that big of a deal for him to hold that opinion. I think it differs alot from someone who hates black people because they encountered a few rude ones. But considering he lived in New England and rarely even had to encounter Japanese people, it probably added to his prejudice since it didnt really interfere with his life at all. If I hate Kazakstanians, I could easily hold that hatred for a long time without being challenged since I wont ever encounter one. |
Great, but you still didn't answer the case of hating the genetic differences as opposed to appearence. What if I hate black people because they're at a higher risk of sickle cell anemia and not because they of their skin tone or big lips?

You wouldn't because thats retarted. Its come to the point where you have to use absurd examples to defend the fact that racism is logical, which it clearly isnt seeing as you just said, "What if I just hate someone because of a non-contagious disease they acquired due to a genetic abnormality?" |
Yeah, but what if I did? You keep side stepping my point by claiming its absurd as opposed to answering it.
|
youre saying that its logical to be prejudiced against a certain race of people based on certain genetic characteristics of that race?
actually the example you give is more one of selective breeding than prejudice but many nations have practiced that and i suppose that in a warped sort of way it could be thought of as prejudice |
