Excerpt:

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and
prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to
stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely
to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a
vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a
psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults
tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study
found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to
change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an
email to LiveScience.

"Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical
that any factors contributing to bias are uncovered and understood," he
said.

Controversy ahead

The findings combine three hot-button topics.

"They've pulled off the trifecta of controversial topics," said Brian
Nosek, a social and cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia
who was not involved in the study. "When one selects intelligence,
political ideology and racism and looks at any of the relationships
between those three variables, it's bound to upset somebody."

Polling data and social and political science research do show that
prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those
of other political persuasions, Nosek told LiveScience. [7 Thoughts That
Are Bad For You]

"The unique contribution here is trying to make some progress on the
most challenging aspect of this," Nosek said, referring to the new
study. "It's not that a relationship like that exists, but why it exists."
No wonder Donnie is homophobic and racist in his comments.


So..are you saying that in your case it's strictly the booze?
I'd say that would only be one factor. You can hangout with your buddies
from the Castro District all you want. Doesn't matter at all to me.

Homophobic comments. And you still follow Harry, when he accuses someone
of something. He has no idea if I drink or not. We know you do to,excess,
as you even complained about your kid drinking your supply. I dealt with
gay people for years working in San Francisco. Most were pretty nice.
Their choice, Just like I, unlike Harry, did not grow up with racism. My
best friend in grammar school was 2nd generation Chinese. My mom’s best
friend and her aid at the hospital was black. She and her family were
frequent visitors and the kids were good friends with us. Had a black
fishing partner for years. We took dinner to his widow yesterday, as she
just got out of the hospital. Unlike, you and Harry, doing the snowflakes
MO. Call everyone that does not agree with them RACIST. You Frigg’n dumb
****, homophobic, racist..



That's the 1st thing your type always say. "I have a black friend"

You should really take some writing lessons. You might then sound more like an
adult.
