Genetics: Do you ever feel like you were screwed from birth?

[BlackPuma]

The only thing I have to deal with is heavy migraines, getting easily confused, and getting headaches from stress, heat, physical work, direct light from bulbs, slight odor, air impurity, (pretty much everything, really).

For the rest I've actually been very fortunate as far as birth-given inflictions go.

That's not genetic-that's environmental and using stereotypes as fact right from your ass. Switch out Native American for black or Jew...

Let's take African Americans for instance and how the majority of them are on welfare, have children with several women they don't support, smoke crack and are in prison.

But you use stereotypes about indians and suddenly it's okay??? It's basically saying indians are inferior genetically to the pure white race we should all aspire to

Bull****.

OK, can you not turn my thread into a rant about political correctness? The guy was just trying to express in an opinion and connect with others. It's not a big deal.

Thanks.

It's not political correctness, it's ignorance unchecked.

I'm not going to overlook racism to save your feelings.

No, it's definitely political correctness. And what I said has nothing to do with my feelings, it's just irrelevant to get off topic. It would have been better to privately message the user rather than to interupt the flow of a very therapeutic thread. Maybe you need to check your own "racism" because last I checked, it's considered disrespectful/ignorant to refer to "Native Americans" as "Indians"...

rac·ism/ˈrāˌsizəm/
Noun:

The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race.

I don't care about your flow when there are racist remarks being made.


It isn't racist to refer to Native Americans as Indians. It's a term many Indians used to describe themselves to others.
