"...incredibly difficult to untangle the effects of culture from those of biology..." followed a few sentences later immediately by dismissal of consideration that "the age of brain structure maturation is determined by which toys a child plays with".

Sigh.

Honest question: do you even read what you fucking write?

Great. Cherry picking at its finest. Were you saying something about "science" down below?

> there are large genetically distinct human population groups that correspond ~80% with our notions about race.

Oh really? What exactly are "our notions" about race? Who precisely are you referring to as holding "our" notions?

And why was it so important for you to try to insert [again] your own everlasting axe-grinding notions about "race" into this particular discussion?

Oh my. Project much?

Your attempt to rephrase his question to try to suit a silly ideology has nothing to do with "science", is merely your own appeal to emotion, and isn't doing a thing to advance the discussion, moldburg.

Now, do you have anything at all cogent to say about the obvious cultural and economic forces that create differences?

"...it is a known fact blah fucking blah..."

And stop ducking the question, genius. Are you really trying to tell us that the solution to your homelessness problem is to bus people who you magically somehow don't think are from your area clear across the country to a place they almost certainly aren't from?

Methinks you and yours are projecting.

There is absolutely nothing "sensible" about intolerance and racism.

Your arguments from numbers and history are not "sensible" or rational either.
