Wait...Consider this- Semites (and in fact all North Africans and Middle Easterners) are considered by the US government to be "white" regardless of shade of skin. When it comes to "olive skin" (the racial color assigned to Arabs and Jews) the skin color is not that far off from Italians and Greeks and Spanish; even pre-Arab and Ottoman conquests. Prior to Christianity's rise Judaism brought in quite a lot of non-Jews into the fold, and at that point intermarriage with non-ethnic Jews would have been ok as long as the person had converted. I would say bastardism did not play any role that is significant; Jews and Christians did not live that close together post-Roman Empire, the ghetto program kept them pretty separate. Ashkenazi Jews come from the Rhineland for the most part and spread east through Germany to Russia; along the way those that looked more and more superficially as the surrounding population were more likely to be successful and have more children; evolution in miniature. Those that doubt evolution works on such small time scales should be reminded that the average IQ of an ethnic Ashkenazi Jew is 110 versus 100 for White Europeans; making Jews the only group that is statistically higher or lower than average (1 standard deviation higher); whereas pre-collapse of the Roman Empire there is no stereotype or remark of any type of Jews being extra intelligent; evolution and more specifically in-breeding is what happened.
Did you just state that one specific group of HUMAN BEINGS has evolved to be 10% smarter than the rest of the species, and it is based on RACE? Are you f-ing serious?
Then you have the unmitigated gall to accuse someone else of crossing the line into Nazi propaganda? The triple damned Nazis saw Jews as being an entirely different sub species of humans. I only see one person in this conversation proclaiming superiority of an ethnic group.
Worse, you are making the claim based on possibly the most flawed testing method ever devised (one that has been demonstrated to be hugely impacted by environment) and that was used for years to "prove" that Blacks were fundamentally less intelligent than Whites. Funny thing is that once Blacks received anything close to the same education as Whites they closed the gap (which was close to two standard deviations than one) in 40 years. Clearly this was also evolution.
You are kicked for a week, we'll be generous and call it trolling. Don't bother appealing to me, I just spent the last 20 minutes talking myself out of simply Banning you as unrecoverable. Address any appeal to Ian.
