This is a new low for Beet, then.
Oh please, give me a break. This guy impressed me with his knowledge and ability to weave interesting theories. I didn't say I agreed with it (I don't). I didn't know what "HBD" was all about. I merely stumbled across this blog after being linked to from
this blog post, and then went on to explore the site further. The original linking blog post is a white guy who is living in Korea, so there's no reason to suspect he would link to a racist blog. I mean, if you were a racist or okay with racism why would you go live in a country where almost everyone is a different race than you? Plus, as I noted above, the guy claims to be a liberal person of color.
Yes, the blog made some claims based on genes but that by itself doesn't make it racist. It's not positing some innate difference between the races, rather the effect of some race-neutral mating behavior. I don't see how that's different than when people explain human psychological traits based on "evolutionary tactics" which seems to happen in every mainstream article on pop psychology (which is one of my pet peeves, btw). So, now that I've had more time to explore the HBD stuff, I agree it's racist and I'll stop linking to it in the future. But I think people have a tendency to assume the worst from me when sometimes I just post something (or say something) being mildly provocative and I'm not being entirely serious.
