well, given that the tribe of judah was last referred to as a coherent social unit over 3,000 years ago, it's probably fair to say that by now we're ALL descended from it to some extentOriginally posted by Dr Rock+Mar 31 2005, 11:24 PM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Dr Rock @ Mar 31 2005, 11:24 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>actually, xenophobia is a hard-wired trait in human societies, not individual humans.Originally posted by ChimeraTX@Mar 29 2005, 03:33 AM
Xenophobia is a hard-wired trait in humans, and will not be vanquished anytime soon.

What if you should find, upon tracing your genealogy, that you have descended from the tribe of Judah?[post=294769]Quoted post[/post]
Honestly, I wouldn't care. But then, I'm black, which means I have to contend with negative stereotypes and prejudice on a daily basis.Originally posted by madame_zora
You wouldn't want people to assume that you're fat, arrogant, rude and a bad tipper just because you're white, now would you?

I missed the fact that you are black, but the Idea of stereotyping remains the same. Sure there are people who have money who are extremely cheap, but that doesn't mean every rich white person is like that. Sure, there are black guys who play basketball, but there are also some who can't dribble to save their lives, but are great poets. Sure, there are east Indians who own donut shops, but there are also those who work at Kinko's. I'm just saying that giving a set of "attributes" to any given classification of people is detrimental to all who don't happen to fit the mold, which is plenty.

and Xenaphobia, the fear of Lucy Lawless, is all but hardwired into the human psyche as well.

Chimera, you are not the keeper of the facts, you are just one boy talking. I have opinions based on information from credible sources as well, but this conversation has long since lost all of it's charm. I am no longer trying to make points with you, so I swithced over to a little joke, but thanks for ignoring that fact and saying something incindiary anyway. Your immaturity is showing. Obviously, you are a racist who believes in stereotyping. Anyone who wishes to agree with your conclusions is free to do so, but my own rejections of said have nothing to do with this conversation, nor anything you could ever say. My conclusions are based on my capacity for growth, human compassion, years of experience, education (and mine has surpassed yours by many years). The fact that you can spell, type, copy and paste doesn't make you an authority on anything. The fact that you choose to support racism says quite a lot, though.
