Replying to a comment on:

When a tiger's ripped your arm off and six have opened your belly head and heart all wounds now old and scarred then anything looking like a tiger makes you wary to say the least I am not a tiger as you suspect but only look that way an appearance I cannot change and you could know it too if you'd let me have some time But you cannot allow the risk and I will not pursue So warily we eye each other til someone makes a move

Discrimination on the basis of race is naughty, in my opinion. Genetic makeup is a distinguishing feature of race and of other attributes of a human. Discrimination on the basis of genetics is naughty or not, depending on how it is used. It is sensible to discriminate on the basis of genetics in the case of a retard should not be allowed to fly a plane. (Btw, a spastic may be very intelligent, but lacks control of his muscles. He might fly a plane just fine if it could be controlled by voice commands.) But if you say that the genetics of a race, such as negro, are inferior, then that is racism. If you show some study where negroes were found "inferior" in some particualr attribute, then counter studies show caucasians inferior in particulars too.

If you call this answer a dodge, you are right. I prefer to call it stepping out of a trap.
