im quoting my anthropology textbook, its called "cultural anthropology" (thirteenth edition) and its probably more accurate than a user-edited free encyclopedia on the internet.

What the fuck else do you want me to say? You throw sense and knowledge out the window with your sheer idiocy and ignorant beliefs, what's the point? Read a fucking book on the subject if you want to know everything about it.



Your post about "how the Swiss spell things" pretty much sums up all my general conceptions about your level of understanding (anything).

Like I know religion isn't a race? Right.


Google Try googling "is religion a race", educate yourself. It's not worth anyone else's time dude.


And you still haven't answered my question, Einstein, what do you consider yourself to be, under your great concept of race, American or Jewish?

its not really possible to deal in subtleties here so once again i will state for the record that i know race is not the same thing as religion (really???).

and that i was merely responding to the revs poster by saying that many of the jews hitler executed and tortured looked quite white and although in some cases didnt, they often did bare considerable resemblence to the people that were doing the rounding up and killing , unlike the current situation which is white or non muslim swedes passing laws to prevent people who look and act very different in the midst of society, ie not being allowed to wear burkas , not having minaretes etc...

so its not "me" who is confused about the difference between race and religion, i was merely attempting to discuss the ways in which the difference is sometimes false, and sometimes ironic, and sometimes used to exploit people who would not even be considered a part of that particular "race" or that particular "religion" except for the underlying misconception (or no conception) that lies behind the prejudicial behavior.

im sorry for the few who thought i was saying i thought race was the same thing as relgiion (like no1, who is not being an ass , but was likely taken aback by my unclear first post,) and im not sorry for the assholes who just want to jump on the bandwagon and talk shit and then u ask them to back up their shit with anything else and u find what a paper tiger they are.

ill wait for waves to quote his antho textbook and tell me again what race is .

Religion ≠ Race

/we all in agreement now?

Waves

thats exactly what you were implying in your posts, tard

ex:

the distinction between race, ethnicity, religion, etc is extremely subtle and dependant on the circumstances and the construct in which the terms are used,

first of all thats completely wrong, and this gem of a statement:

so inyo mistreatment of muslims couldnt be referred to as racism then?

just wow.

its pretty apparent to me that you dont have much education or you dont remember the education you got. but as you say "acting like we know shit is so much more fun than actually knowing shit isnt it "

like, im not debating with you whether it would be logically sound in a philosophical essay to call mistreatment of muslims racism.

im simply asking you if thats what occurs in the world we live in, and what observations might you derive from that conclusion. what does it say about how people perceive race and or religion, do some people consider them one and the same , do people regard one or the other as their primary sense of being, etcetcetc... i wouldnt write that muslim mistreatment was an example of racism on my anthropolgy essay, (altho possibly might make that case in a comparitive law class) that much i thought would have been evident from what i wrote.

really all i was doing was commenting on revs poster which was interesting ,but then we go off on a tangeant which is fine, but hopefully u see what i was saying, and if like waves u dont care, then word, say something else.

is mistreatment of muslims motivated by "racism" as it were or by "religionism" as you apparently seem to think it is.

i think its far often more motivated by a racist view towards a certain ethnic group of people,
but then that gets into the notion that most people have a mixed concept of race and religion so in many peoples minds its difficult to say absolutely which of the two was the motivating cause for the mistreatment.

its just like hate crimes, should we have more serious penalties for crimes motivated by racism or crimes motivated by religionism aka religious bias ...

if your answer is that everyone should just know that race means the dna of a particular strand of humanity i would respond that in fact most people dont think in those terms and trying to apply your views (of a college educated westerner) to the actions of people around the world is not very helpful in trying to deduce their underlying motives.

in german (one of four official languages in switzerland), double consonants denote a short vocal sound and singles denote long vocal sounds.

its funny you should mention all languages come from latin, because english is actually a west germanic and anglo-frisian language. french, italian, portuguese, spanish, and romanian are the languages which decended from latin. its cool you know so much about languages that you have such great ideas on how everyone else speaks and writes their own language.

just because a language uses latin characters doesn't mean it was derived from latin. in germany latin is widely taught as a second language in grade school.

Would "bigotry" be a better word?

John F. Kerry

^ id say bigotry probably is a better word, but then again i dont really know the evolution of that term either, what exactly does it refer to ?


the people who write totally negative shit like greives only do it for attention and to get a response from me, so i guess i just have to ignore it and keep on keeping on.

ego, grieves, saddam, and waves, i suggest if you guys really want to have some good discussions in a and p like you purport to then please by all means make some threads of your own, i was just trying to have a discussion here with like minded people of which there are plenty, save for you guys, and i wish you would do me the same courtesy by making your own threads if you have ideas for threads rather than just come into my threads and talk shit, its prettty easy to just put me on ignore if u have a problem with me like you evidently do and id like to have discussion with the many others than arent assholes.
