[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

The result is quite consistent with what I though about my stand, generally a mild progress supporter in a conservative way.

Four people who I thought had pretty different views, all in the same quadrant...

And this one is rather tricky.

 

Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.

 

I strongly agree when race is being seen in the way it's supposed to be seen (ie, humans as a whole, 'the human race'), but I strongly disagree when instead of race, they mean ethnicity  

to me it's not that tricky...actually, it's quite obvious...

 

certified that we're only speaking of human beings, considering the fact that children of all kinds are born without knowing what's good and what's bad, what's right and what's wrong, it's clear that everything about human essence and behaviour goes down to the surrounding environment, to culture and education they're given...

 

and races have nothing to do with that...

 

by the way, that's my chart...

to be honest, I thought I was more on the right side...and especially a lot more on the authoritarian half of the scale...but it looks that I was wrong (according to these questions and aswers, of course)...

 

p.s. but actually I also feel I'm a lot more complicated than what the chart shows in its extreme synthesis...

The way they ask it, it can be seen as "Humans have many superior qualities compared to dogs, dolphins or spiders", which we do (also we have many inferior qualities, no doubt  ). I know those are different species, and not races, but the 'different humans' (for lack of a better term) are not entirely and always seen as different races neither, but ethnicities.

 

Does 'our race' (whites, in my case, blacks, latinos etc in other cases, assuming they mean ethnicity) have many superior qualities? No, of course not

Thought I would be slightly more to the right, but I guess it's not that bad.

One wonders if it's even possible to leave the green box going by all these (similar) results...

Not really a surprise.
