Re: (no subject)

"You mean the blond blue-eyed one? The one with proclivities for cystic fibrosis and osteoporosis and skin cancer? The one with the Kp(b-) blood antigen? Surely you weren't referring to the Aryan gene pool..."

So what are saying? That the blond hair blue eyed gene pool isn't worthy of being allowed to survive? Are you advocating genocide? Well I say to hell with that! The "Aryan" gene pool, as you put it, is a product of the environment that gave birth to it. The children of Europe are specifically tailored by tens of thousands of years of evolution to be as they are today. The unique conditions which have existed in Europe during various periods of time (i.e. several ice ages) made living there extremely difficult. This in turn acted as a filter, straining out many of those who were weak and not intelligent or clever enough to survive such hardships. I believe Darwin had a term he used for this....Survival of the fittest maybe? As a result, many of these desirable genes became concentrated in the population. As you mentioned there are defects.....every gene pool has them, although it's nothing that a good eugenics program couldn't solve, so why would you wish to compound the problem by adding even more defects, such as Sickle Cell, Tay-Sachs, susceptibility to hypertension, and a whole host of other genetic diseases peculiar to other racial groups?
