well if you go on a radio, state facts that leftists get pissed about you saying them out loud and dont end up with an 8 year long prison sentence or 15000 euro fine, then you live in a country that has free speech. It definitely is not where I am from and I am from europe, where we cannot be racist even if we wanted to be

So that German shooter just didn't like the music at shisha bars?

I just tried to inform myself but I found the same results. Again...

"The performance of young children on the ‘mirror self-recognition test’ varies hugely across cultures, a new study has shown. This is the test that involves surreptitiously putting a mark on a child’s forehead and then seeing how they react when presented with their mirror image. Attempts by the child to touch or remove the mark are taken as a sign that he or she recognises themselves in the mirror. Studies in the West suggest that around half of all 18-month-olds pass the test, rising to 70 per cent by 24 months. Chimps, orangutans, dolphins and elephants have also been shown to pass the test, and there’s recent debate over whether monkeys can too.

Tanya Broesch and her colleagues began by taking a simplified version of the mirror self-recognition test to Kenya, where they administered it to 82 children aged between 18 to 72 months. This version of the test involved a small, yellow post-it note rather than a red splodge, and children weren’t given the usual verbal prompts such as ‘who’s that in the mirror?’. Amazingly, just two of the children ‘passed’ the test by touching or removing the post-it note. The other eighty children ‘froze’ when they saw their reflection – that is they stared at themselves but didn’t react to the post-it note.

Next, Broesch and her team took their test to Fiji, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Peru, Canada and the USA, where they tested 133 children aged between 36 to 55 months. The performance of the North American children was in line with past research, with 88 per cent of the US kids and 77 per cent of the Canadians ‘passing’ the test. Rates of passing in Saint Lucia (58 per cent), Peru (52 per cent) and Grenada (51 per cent) were significantly lower. In Fiji, none of the children ‘passed’ the test."

That article goes on to say the differences they believe are caused by environmental differences in learning processes not anything genetic. Maybe read the whole thing?

I did. That was their opinion. It had nothing to do with the facts observed in the study. If they didnt have a liberal opinion at the end that negated the results they would probably lose funding

Dont forget also we are talking about 18 month old north americans. The tests in Kenya were from 18months- 72 months. So they actually tested older more mature children and still have significantly lower results

Suggesting one group of people are superior to another based on nationality or ethnicity is the definition of racism.

So go fucken pink yourself, baldie.

Both of those things happened this season. Europe has big problems with racism and it's only getting worse.

The UK has a prime minister who has written and said appalling racial slurs.

Football, even in England is having issues.

I don't know if it's worse because the 70' and 80's were brutal but it's definitely rearing its head again.

Far right parties have been increasing their support all across the continent. In the UK for instance we have a PM that described black people as Picaninnies with watermelon smiles, and recently hired an aide that is a eugenicist that ascribes to the blacks genetically have a lower IQ myth and then the PM refused to denounce those views. It's far from just in football although that is one area seeing a large subsequent increase in incidents. Racism is a societal problem, it's on the rise due to the failure of the centre-left and people turning to the far right for answers.

Agreed but the conclusions we draw may differ wildly.

Agree. But those are your opinions and they are not backed up by science. Now if your decide to back up your opinion with a scientific study I'll be open to discuss the information.
