Ssnead, I am going to take the time to explain to you the problem that most of us have with the original post. It is not that the guy made a comment about any particular race's “average size.” There are hundreds of posts on that subject and though they may elicit many emoticons such as , most do not get people a little riled up. The problem lies in him saying
Speaking of which do you have any good scientific studies to support your claim that he is stating fact, or do you just assume? I am not denying that it may be the truth, but I would like to see a good peer reviewed scientific study and not accept it as fact because it is “general knowledge” which is what I fear that you may be doing. I am hoping not being as you have referred to most of the members in a condescending tone as “lemmings” and asked us to “use our heads” and got upset because he was only stating statistics. Now again, I ask, do you have any proof that the statistics are true, or are you following what people have told you blindly and without proof?
In reference to being made to feel small. If, instead of asking about feeling small you were to ask if somebody ever feels stupid by asking“do you ever feel like a (insert racial group here)” even if that group statistically has a lower IQ it is no longer “just statistics” but has crossed the line. It is the phrasing of the question that was offensive, not that the guy stated any particular statistics.has anyone been made to feel like a asian lol ??
