While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

My concern is with "predators" who hide among the innocent, and mislead the victims into plural hatred and fear.
Tolerance of predators is unmerciful to their next victim - though they may share our cultural / racial bias.
been hounded and persecuted by his own peop-
le into an early grave; does Galileo make the
Italian people born astronomers?)
In a place like Alaska, the circumstances are
not very encouraging, where the people have
almost all they can do to keep from freezing to
death; then again, in a place like Hawaii, where
lush vegetation grows without the effort of culti-
vation, where winter never comes--why bother?!
Civilization seems to start in fairly moderate
to benign climates, such as Greece and Italy;
from there it spreads; but when it spreads, the
people to whom it does spread are able to adopt
it intelligently enough.
There will be a very small technical window between the point when we have the ability to utilize genomic information and the ability to simply scan the actual person and know on a routine basis. When you enter the sickbay of the starship Enterprise you get a gene scan the same way we do a CBC. Except this is going to happen in the next few years, not hundreds of years from now.
"Civilized" and "urbane" have deep meaning.
LOOTERS are more inclined to ACTIVELY SCHEME for their benefit at the expense of ALL.
MOOCHERS are PASSIVE, quickly grabbing WELFARE HANDOUTS, threatening to unleash violence and rioting when the HANDOUTS are slower than they are accustomed.
Dysgenics is the hazard of civilisation - protection of the 'unfit', the perpetuation of genetic combinations that impair health and reduce contributions to the group for survival scenarios.
Eugenics is the science, much maligned, of promoting the better quality genetic combinations.
Simplified, the small or non-existent families of productive individuals, VERSUS the larger families of welfare recipients. This leads over time to decreasing numbers of productive individuals to the detriment of the proliferation of the masses.
Not all of these behaviors are irrational. Sometimes appearance is a good predictor of behavior.
What could be a discussion and debate about the strengths of various courses of action has, UNFORTUNATELY been transmuted into the 'Bread and Circuses' of politics and the WELFARE STATE.
The WELFARE STATE is merely the armored camouflage the LOOTERS have devised to OBSCURE their HEIST.
I guess that by your 'logic' that Pitbulls, Great Danes, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and Golden Retrievers are JUST dogs.
Maybe Pigeons, Turkeys, Grey Parrots, Bald Eagles, Vultures, Crows, Ostriches are JUST birds.
Can you please offer anything about race? Even if it may prove to be incomplete.
What you have added to the above conversation has NOT given me anything that could add to OR cause me to revise my thinking on the subject.
REALLY?
So you look at Haiti and think that maybe they could have created the computer that you are accessing the Gulch on?
Money first. BS second.
