Reply #160: What a bunch of bunk

[blurp]

Racism is European. The idea of "race" is European. It has always, and only, existed as an excuse for enslavement and mistreatment of some groups, for the entitlement and benefit of Europeans.


Well, the caste system in India dates to about 1500 BC. That's very close to what might be called racism.

And the Egyptians seem to have had an idea of race. There is evidence they murdered red-headed people where ever they found them, thinking they were evil. There are also certain reliefs seen in tombs that showed images representing various groups including one having white-skin, blue-eyes, and clad in ox-skin.

And what of the racism of the Greeks? Is that "European" racism, before there was a more collective European culture?

Racism has a long history and it began long before the devolopment of a European culture.

It seems to me you're trying to promote some kind of idea of European moral inferiority.

That almost sounds like racism. Naughty.
