Is this because of skull structure? Barbarian, non-Christian cultures? Flawed genetics?
What racist justification will you choose?
Complete horseshit.
Falling back on a eugenics strawman only shows your own predispositions. The ignorance of people is influenced by their environment, not their genetics.
We're not talking ignorance, we're talking a "legitimate lack of intelligence", in your words. Ignorant people can be intelligent. The terms are not synonymous. It's not a strawman at all, from what I can see.

Indeed they are. But that's not at all reflecting the *other* claim you made there.
Terraius wrote:So to clarify, the racial comment was completely and totally of your origin, and not from my own mouth.
I don't at all agree with your clarification, it was pretty clearly implied. Either you're just not willing to admit it, or you genuinely didn't realize it.
It could very well be coincidence that all of your examples of people "lacking intelligence" enough to "hand democracy to tyranny" when given the choice were all non-Caucasoid. However, it does dovetail nicely with the "ARABS/WHATEVER ETHNIC GROUP BESIDES EUROPEANS CAN'T HANDLE DEMOCRACY" racist bullshit that's all too common in places like these.

That still doesn't make sense in the context, but OK.

Yeah, sorry I made you feel bad by pointing out you made up a word in what amounted to about 5% of what I wrote, if that. My mistake.
What a convenient copout for you, by the way. You're clearly not just looking for an easy way out.
