> No, it is the opposite of racism. Racism is when some people are treated differently just because of their race. When you do well because you're smarter and work harder, regardless of race, then that's the opposite of racism.
No.. when you say that the children of people in the top 1% who are overwhelmingly of one race should be given disproportionate opportunities because of some genetic factor, that is racism. It is literally saying "people of this race should be given more stuff"
> You are putting words in my mouth.
I am not. I repeated what you said. You said that the children of the 1% are somehow genetically superior. I pointed out that the 1% is overwhelmingly white. And I wrote down your beliefs. That white people are genetically superior.
That is the simple logical consequence of your beliefs. And it a chain of reasoning we have already followed right into slavery and concentration camps as a species. One that we should not follow again.
> Your argument is with Charles Darwin, not me!
Look back on that chain of inferences and think to yourself where you went wrong, how did your thoughts, that you consider innocent, lead to an extremely racist conclusion.
There are only two outcomes possible. Either you look at your chain of reasoning and its simple plain outcome "white people are genetically superior" which you seem to believe in, and you feel ok with that. In which case this is just plain racism. Or you look at it and realize that no there is something deeply wrong here. And you will find that the idea that your parents are wealthy somehow meaning that their children are genetically superior is bankrupt.
Your choice. Racism or changing your thought process.

All I am saying is that if people who are in the top 1% got there because of being smarter and being willing to work hard, then to the extend these traits are heritable you should expect their children to have these traits as well. Such kids can be expected to do well in school. Should they be given disproportionate opportunities? Absolutely not. But if they do well in school do not assume that's because they have been given disproportionate opportunities!
> I pointed out that the 1% is overwhelmingly white. And I wrote down your beliefs. That white people are genetically superior.
Nonsense. I am not white, and I do not believe white people are genetically superior. I am Asian.
> All I am saying is that if people who are in the top 1% got there because of being smarter and being willing to work hard, then to the extend these traits are heritable you should expect their children to have these traits as well.
And that is literally racism.
The idea that the groups that are in power are there for a generic reason. It's precisely what people in the 1800s said. It's literally what fuels Nazis and the KKK.
All you are saying is something blatantly racist. I have no idea what else you want to me say to you?
If you want to sit here and defend racism then I'm out. But I hope you can live with yourself every morning that you can read Mein Kampf and recognize yourself.
