It does exist when its existence benefits the argument.

Like subatomic particles, popping in and out of existence depending on the perception of the observer. Racism particles.
Haha still waiting for your answer on whether the supreme court ruling you can't be racist to whites and asians anymore is good or bad? That's less racism, right? Or is that the good kind? I get all mixed up!

I have a brilliant idea, let's fight racism by being super racist. This is a super good and coherent idea.

I thought you didn't like appeals to authority. Are we not pretending this is debate club when it suits us this morning?

My skill at understanding at the reactionary mind has increased
I'm not gonna argue "culture", when evolutionary polyginy holds more explanatory power.

I remember watching the show ghostwriter in the early 90s. It was about a group of kids who solve mysteries. It had a super diverse cast; there was a white kid, a black kid, an asian girl, a hispanic brother and sister etc.. And in three seasons there wasn't a *single* storyline that involved race or racism in any way. They were all just friends and it was no big deal. And it took place in nyc, and it was on PBS. It's hard to believe that show ever existed, but it did. We were pretty based in the 90s.

Don't worry, it was just a substitute argument because he's aware of what actually gets people banned around here. Only a few of them are dumb enough to say what they actually think.

I don't know what polyginy is and, no, I won't look it up.

It’s not a word to my knowledge, polygamy is having more than 1 wife, but this still seems like a cultural thing to me

I don’t think single parent households helps any kid’s chances when compared to two parents, but I also wouldn’t offer it as the sole reason some communities can’t get their kids into college. And having multiple spouses (polygamy) seems like a recipe for drama

Polyginy is a social structure in which the mother's band together to raise the offspring in the absence of a "father" role. It's the predominant social structure of subsaharan Africa, and the government-sponsored preference for America's future(for non-elites). Its makes for good compulsive consumers with low, if any, impulse control
