I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Right - move along, no whining or blaming others going on here.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Syt, you should tell your sister that racial pride is an unseemly quality in Germans.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Should non-Germans take pride in their race?

That doesn't imply that setting fire to your car is not stupid.

Unless you can get away with collecting the insurance money.

"Race" is problematic to put it mildly, but I've always thought that everyone should take pride in their ethnic heritage. :mellow:

It was a comment on both. Like your car could be in the garage.

Why be proud of a completely random result? Unless maybe my particular heritage was being repressed, I could see the appeal in that.
I take somewhat of an interest in my heritage but pride it definitely is not.

Because if you're not proud of your heritage, no one else is going to be.

So no reason then?
