Default Re: Nobel Prize scientist - Black people are dumb

[ QUOTE ]
What about breeds of dogs? If someone said one breed is smarter than another breed, would he immediately be dismissed as a dog racist?

[/ QUOTE ]

There is nothing analogous to dog breed in humans. Even if there were, it would be silly to make classifications based on a single phenotype. Are dogs with white fur smarter than dogs with black fur? Are dogs with yellow fur the smartest of all? These questions are meaningless. Comparing a black lab and a golden retriever might be valid, but comparing all dogs based on fur color is not.
