The word "racist" in common usage usually refers to something bad or unethical. It means making distinctions based on race AND extracting advantages or privileges from such a distinction. Merely talking about races and if the content is truthful or scientific, is not racism. If you think that's racist then many college textbooks on social science would be racist, but clearly they're not and that's in accord with the common usage of the word. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te3d0dad0e74ec301-M19f448effda0c09a3c8b78c3 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
