[lbo-talk] Conrad v Hochschild (was Lincoln Gordon, he dead)

[Chris Doss]

Just pointing out that racism (x population group is significanlt different from y population group for biological reasons) is not morally wrong, but factually wrong. If it were actually the case that e.g. Africans had an average IQ of 70 while Europeans have one of 100, and this was inherited biologically, racism would be correct. There was no way for somebody in say 1750 to know that this was not true, and so for them racism was a perfectly acceptable theory to explain the obvious differences in technological development between Europeans and Africans.
