Re: Don't believe the news...
But Luis is arguing that it is (or at least one day may be found to be) a big enough difference.
It actually sounds like he's concerned we may find big enough differences to make it seem acceptable to many people. I haven't gotten the sense that he would personally condone discrimination in that case.

And to me, I took it that he is simply saying that the different races are different, and that that should be acknowledged, not that it's grounds for racism.

Only to ignorant people. Which brings us right back to where we started. :p

I was actually able to follow this up until about three pages ago. Now I just have a headache.

So could someone just tell me if I was a bad person for finding the joke funny simply because of how it was able to get onto air without anyone's common sense kicking in?

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

In that context, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

That's good to know. Now I'll just go back to eating this bowl of puppy hearts...
