Oh no, I fully understood those arguments and conceeded that in certain scenarios such ethnic groups might experience disproportionate amounts of impact. However, when we start talking about actively putting them up the chimneys, then we've moved into making such ethnic groups targets. Hey...there's nothing saying a smart person can't end up a racist. However, it is to be expected that a smart racist will have particularly clever arguments to justify such racism. In addition, I suspect that some of our more robust inner-city dwellers might actually adapt quite quickly to such scenarios. As for trailer trash, however... -TD

But he was definitely advocating that racist viewpoints fall naturally out of a crypto-anarchic approach.
Tyler:
A rational person has to admit that many parasitic folks of all albedos are able to exist because they occupy a govt-funded niche.
Without a welfare govt, those people would either 1. subsist on private (ie voluntary) charity, 2. become useful by necessity 3. die of starvation 4. die during attempts to coerce others with violence.
Depending on your beliefs about human demographics/nature, you will assign variable percentages to these outcomes.
It *is* racist to think that genotypes in each bin will differ *IFF* you
*don't* ascribe this outcome to culture associated with genotypes.
But culturism is not racism, its recognition of how behavior and evolution work. I subscribe to and will defend culturism.
