It reeks of the same idiotic propaganda and moralizing that preceded the colonizing of the Third World, the primary difference being that instead of doing it for Christ we're doing it for minority rights.
Get it John?

What, then, is meant by race?

I have never suggested that sharia laws or anything I've really criticized in this thread has anything to do with race. I don't think it has anything to do with race. Eugenics never entered into it. As a biologist, I am generally aware of when I think something is a property of biology or not and it is perfectly possible to criticize culture without criticizing biology. Why would you even think otherwise?
If anyone's being racist here, it is you, ironically. Because if you suggest that criticizing misogynist values is racist, then you claim that the biology of a particular race makes them more misogynist. Do you see the irony here?
