If you missed this, or didn't immediately consider it, you should be asking yourself why you missed it.

Have you swallowed the whole DEI or no-racial-differences garbage? Because if that's why you missed it, you are handicapping yourself vis-a-vis handicapping. You are, to be blunt, flying partly blind.
You're supposed to actually win the argument before doing a victory dance.

I didn't make an argument. I made an observation. If you missed the observation, then that says something about you.

I take it, genius-boy smurger missed the observation. As Gomer Pyle says, "Surprise, surprise, surprise."

If you know nothing about actual physical differences between different "racial" categories, now might be the time to brush up. There's something called physical anthropology. You might want to take a few classes. If you're going to argue there's no physical differences between Eskimos and Africans, God bless you.

What's amazing isn't the forum's general ignorance. What's amazing is that people think they're well informed.

So you were observing rather than arguing that black participation was more important than tech changes, and that Half Smoke had missed this factor, perhaps due to the political indoctrination to which you are immune?
