re: #157 Fozzie Bear

My skin color and general lack of melanin would make my survival in such an environment difficult, as I am not physically well-adapted to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. It’s not racist to say this.

So if you were a State Dept. employee would you argue, on this basis, that you should be assigned to Paris rather than Ouagadougou?

Note that you used the plural, “peoples”, indicating that you believe there to be significant differences in intellectual capacity between groups -

I wrote “inclination”, not “capacity”. Inclination is influenced both by environment and (as studies with separated twins seem to demonstrate) genetics.
