Default Re: racism as a positive value..

Almost well said.

"Race: A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics."

Wrong.

I think any and every human geneticist will tell you that they are unable to find gene patterns that correspond to "race." If we went by strict genetic variation, there is only one race outside of subsaharan Africa, a few more within it.

Race is a social construct--it draws on "biology" but it does not, in anyway, represent biological fact. Especially since "classic" markers of race are phenotypic.

Anyway, scalf isn't even very good as a troll. If he had said that he had just succeeded in own of his life's ambitions, saying drinking the blood of a Jewish baby, then maybe he'd be worth a little more effort.

If you disagree with me, please feel free to try and find reputable scientific data that treats "race" as an ontologically existent biological feature.
