Who might the 'crime prone' be, pray tell? Let me guess.

Most of the posts on this thread are merely rationalizations for residential segregation under the rubric 'everyone likes it that way.' The everyone being racists like themselves. People who are actually interested in an integrated society look at income as the main criterion of whether a housing market is nondiscriminatory. If nonwhites of the same income levels as whites are not buying homes in the same areas then there probably is institutional or subjective discrimination going on. I say nonwhites because the data on Hispanics and Asians is being misrepresented here. (It often is because Razib hates the people he most resembles -- African-Americans -- and will say anything, no matter how false, to demean them.) The article says Hispanics and Asians are 'beginning' to move into white areas, which means most still live in segregated areas. In reality, there has been an enormous culture clash between the Hmong and the mainstream there.

As for Dodo Diana's claim that 'Africa-towns' have never attracted whites as tourists, utter B.S. How does she think Harlem got its reputation for heaven's sakes? Nor was it an anomaly. Black communities in most cities long drew whites for entertainment, especially music.

One wishes some people would spend their time reading the excellent mainstream literature of America's true mixed culture instead of the moldy, discredited treatises of scientific racists.

Determined to force your bigotries into being fact, but it can't be done.

Harlem and other inner city entertainment districts thrived well into the '70s. They went into decline during the movement of middle-class people of all 'races' to the suburbs. However, they have been reviving with the return of the middle-class to downtowns and exurbs. Some regions, especially the West and Pacific Northwest, are more residentially integrated than ever, with nonwhites moving to the suburbs and whites moving into the city. That's the reality the U.S. Census reveals, not the racism motivated nonsense you people post.

Diana, you are either a dunce or one hell of a liar. What will you do for an encore -- belittle a lovely little African-American ballerina for not having straight hair?

Roger, I will believe what you say when you offer some objective data supporting it. Until then, considering this is a racist site, I suspect you are as tainted as the other people on this thread.

David sounds like another wannabe white person who hates black people. Why am I not surprised?

Of course not, fool. The fact someone would rush to claim racial superiority is in itself evidence of racism since there is no support for that belief. Your belief in white supremacy is no different than the Raelians belief in extraterrestial seeding. There is no evidence of either, but the adherents believe because they want to.

Some in the mental health field believe racism is often a system of mental illness because it relies on obsession, paranoia, projection and an exaggerated sense of self-importance. They may be on to something.

Yawn. More racist mumbings with no basis in fact. To declare rape as the major sexual behavior of Southern African men is shameless for even someone as lacking in moral probity as Steve Sailer.

As for Diana, why in the world does she think Razib (who says inane things like 85 is the norm for black people's IQs) has a clue about sexual practices in Southern Africa or anything else?

Racism seems to attract very stupid people.

What kind of idiot doesn't know 'dry sex' means rape?

However, there is a good sentence to paraphase on this thread:

"'Race realists' conclusions, like Creationism, have been rejected by, what amounts to the entire scientific community."

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Don't hold your breath, Razib, as much as you wish it would happen, black people in Southern Africa are
not going to disappear from the face of the Earth. On the other hand, considering the current mayhem
and poverty in Bangladesh, that group of black people just might perish.

The NYT banned a nasty little pesk of a racist? Bravo! Anyone who would blame proximity to black
South Africans for white South Africans' high AIDS rates does not deserve a membership. This fool is
almost as good an example of racism as a mental illness as Razib.

Duncie, if you want to raise someone's I.Q., start at home. Nothing you have posted reveals even average
intelligence. You are just another loser trying to raise himself above others by latching on to racism.

Ditto for the echo.

Seems to me that Razib's lengthy rationalizations always lead to the same conclusions. He believes some people (whites, who he virtually worships) are better than others. He assigns Africans and African-Americans the lowest positions in his hierarchy, claiming they are less intelligent than whites and Asians. However, there is no scientifically accepted support for his claims. So, what we have is an individual (Razib) latching on to long discredited 'scientific' racism to try to justify his personal hatred of dark-skinned people (likely including himself). Razib's views tell us a lot about Razib's sad mental state, but nothing else.

'Genetic realism' is basically a call for, at the very least, 'benign neglect' of people of color on the grounds they are inferior, at the most, genocide against them. (Which Razib recently expressed a desire for in Southern Africa.) Razib lies so much that he may confuse a not at all bright person like you, Duncie. However, anyone who has observed and seen through his obfuscations knows he hates people of color, including himself.
