In my first post, I wrote: "For Weber, so-called 'Europeans' were 'rational,' and so-called 'non-Europeans' were either 'irrational' or less 'rational,' and he attributes the origin of capitalism to this alleged difference: 'European rationality.' In Weber, one cannot but see one of the founding fathers of what might be called cultural racism." To me, cultural racism is different from but derivative of what is called biological racism. Today's racism is mainly cultural racism, I think, though via IQ debates, DNA obsessions, etc., biological racism is making a come-back of sorts.
