(135,425 posts)You've lost the bubble on your thesis, so now you're down to name calling. OK.
You might try reading what I've written--I have defined race. It's where your DNA takes you, not what you imagine in your head. I've said this more than once, but you have to actually read the responses before you start in on your next reply.
I provided you with a link by a respected Arab Anti-Discrimination organization, telling you that Arab is NOT a race. In response, you refer to this as a "a wholly brainless scenario" that you, apparently, don't regard as a "real problem." Well, the Arabs who wrote that article regard it as not brainless AND a "real problem" -- otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to point it out for your edification.
So, let's see, you've flung these gems at me: "Tucker Carlson" and "brainless" and "inane." You've accused me (??) of wearing a bowtie--is there something I'm missing, there? Are you trying to suggest I'm a member of the Nation of Islam, or something? Not sure where you're going with that comment, frankly--you'll need to explain that to me.
Then you move on to "high pitched?" What's up with that? Is that some kind of attempt at an insult as well? Do you mean "girly" or something? And then you sketch out some insulting scenario in your head -- and yours alone--that I regard some people as "inferior." And then you curry favor towards Tucker Carlson over me (who has that superior - inferior thing going on, hmmmm?) because ...he makes money on TV? THAT's your "good guy" standard?
OK, we're learning more every minute here, I guess!
You've failed in presenting your argument. You're resorting to really cheap insult now, saying stuff you just can't take back. This post of yours is worth saving, for all the nastiness in it:
150. No, no, I figured you have a bowtie in common, is all

You try to present a wholly brainless scenario as a 'real problem' then demand answers to this "problem." Each post of yours is more high-pitched, more inane, more full of fallacy and whattaboutisms than the last. All in your effort to control how peopel you regard as inferior to you may or may not identify themselves, according to a set of standards you and you alone know.
meanwhile Tucker Carlson actually makes money by doing that stuff. You're nothing like him.
Arab is NOT a race.
You have completely failed to define what a race is, how many there are, and the standards by which they are measured and categorized. Seven times, now.
I assume you DO have such definitions, else your argument would be impossible. Why not show the definitions?
Until you provide convincing evidence that you have solved - clearly, totally solved - a problem that has been plaguing human societies since before the written word, i'm going to stick by what I've been saying all along - how a person identifies is up to that person.
Enjoy your movie.
