**Modnote** : This is in general and not aimed at anyone specifically.

[GD rules specifically prohibit](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-rules-for-great-debates-and-elections-january-2020/845726) **Scientific racism** or any particular argument about why any particular group of humans is inherently better than any other group.

So be careful, we will warn those that cross this line.
