Since you are smart you might know something can be 'two things' (also, and, in addition, beside it,). You might be thinking of Darwin and his buddies changing that to a modern version of 'race' (Negroids, Caucazoids, Mongoloids).īut now we still can ask you about this 'stupid idea' a belief system is also a 'race'. The Greeks might be a 'race' and the Syrians another 'race' of people. For most of our history 'race' is just like 'races' (they run together with and for themselves). Races? Well we would have to get the definition right. Which didn't tell you “Steve, by farmers I implied a claim to a race of peoples”.īut let's suppose Matt was seriously (and stupidly) making a claim Catholics and Jews are races of people. Steve, having said that, Matt doesn't actually say race does he? I can say I am 'descended from farmers'. So given this and a sort of ironic tone of voice I think 'descended from' was not an attempt at a claim Catholics are a 'race of people. Matt is having a casual, hip and humourous conversation on a comedic podcast. I'd like to go further into this discussion about stupidity.
