Jim: 'It doesn't come any more stereotyped than claiming that races as a whole behave the way they do because of flaws in their culture.'

OK, I know I said goodbye; but Jim is usually worth responding to, so I have returned for the moment ~~ not the first time anyone has opted out & back in again: try counting the # of times SickoLox has done just that on this thread alone!

Jim, be fair. That is not what Keith claimed. It was rather that a very small but disproportionately over-represented minority of the race in question acted in a manner which needed explanation. It seemed to Keith, & seems to me too, that the answer might be found in some peculiarity of their culture occurring there more prominently than in that of others: such as e.g. the cultural conditioning to marry a relation late in life and be forbidden to approach one of one's own community before that, which is demonstrably an aspect of the culture concerned. That was surely all that Keith was [I use the word again, whatever that fool PsychoLox thinks] *speculating*.
