I don't need to be white to know that white people are afraid to discuss racial differences in public.


So how do you know?

The real message is not, "are these behavioral differences a product of culture or genes". Rather, it's, "why are we afraid to discuss this issue in public".


Culture, yes, race, no.

Wait a moment... how different do you think genes are between races???

I don't know exactly how different the genes between races are, but I imagine that there are definitely differences in the frequency of certain allels. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that white people are scared to death about openly discussing racial differences and this is a problem.

You need to present your objection to my thesis in straight-forward statement form. Stop asking these questions. You think you are backing me into a corner when in fact you are simply being annoying as shit.

I'm trying to understand the foundation of your position so I can better respond to it.

The foundation of my position: 1. it's very probable that there are differences between the races that go beyond aesthetics and 2. white people can't openly discuss this and this is a problem.

There. I hope I have satisfied your curiosity.

But what is your supporting evidence for point #2?

From personal experience. No evidence is needed, because it is not possible to have any sort of concrete evidence about other people's mental states. We constantly try to guess what others are thinking and feeling without evidence, so don't think that you got me.
