He’s consistently (in this thread and others) misrepresented mine (calling me “egalitarian”, whatever that means, along with insisting that I believe that there is no genetic variation between various groups), but for some reason I don’t see you speaking up about that. > [@Fotheringay-Phipps](#): > > iiandyii himself now appears to agree with me about this (and says he only meant to mock CP without conveying an incorrect interpretation of his intention). I have no idea what you’re saying now. “Now appears” – it was your error, not mine. I never said he intended to compare cockroaches to black people… I was just mocking his inadvertent comparison. I do believe that such inadvertent comparisons are revealing, though. It’s much easier to “slip up” in this way in this kind of discussion if one believes that black people are indeed inherently less intelligent. Which is also why I think it hit a nerve. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-a-racist-warning-signs/692519)._
