That sounds like a barely plausible, extremely convenient justification for bigotry that could be employed by any number of racial or ethnic groups.

- Pigalowda 4y agoNot barely plausible at all. For my epigenetic comment - Here is a relevant paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579375/ And secondly, low SES populations have much higher rates of psychiatric disorders and pretty much all diseases. If one were to combine thousands of years of epigenetic effects and persistent unescapable low SES status, then it does not take a leap of faith to hypothesize there will be long term effects. Much less "barely plausible", a comment that only arises because this is not your domain, but it is mine.
