especially whites

I'm getting 10 million worldwide

from this website

whites need to be taught that they are in fact white and that they do things differently than others

I assume this is a result of geographic isolation or something

other races rub elbows with other races more and see themselves as more distinct

not sure this is accurate at all

seems too big

in fact subsets of people only slightly different will insist they are just about different species

5 million seems about right I guess

well I just wanted to get my scale right

like are we talking millions or hundreds of thou

aite

right on

I'm interested in our origins, the myth I think is not credible (or it may be true? dunno)

arab migration?

one arab patriarch

a semi-legendary figure called Qutb Shah

supposedly a descendant of Ali, the cousin of Muhammad and the 4th Caliph

from his second wife, Umm-ul-Banin ("Mother of the sons")

my grandfather outmarried though

paternal grandfather

his wife has origins in greater persia

also, my family lives right at the edge of Punjabi ethnic geography

and has for generations

I suspect there may be Pathan (afghan) blood as well

but who knows, endogamy is pretty strong in the indian subcontinent

also, the Qutb Shah story doesn't answer where the rest of the blood is from

my current theory is Indo-Scythian clan

so not original "Aryan invasion" but later invasions of steppe people

interesting

I don't know anything about the Scythians, but i always thought they had a neat name

this last link is interesting but probably very inaccurate

Sam Harris is someone who often manages to amuse me with the ways he manages to draw the wrong conclusions about things

he's smart but

a clever silly

refuses to examine his priors often

the problem with being a public intellectual is that you can't help but be biased by the publicity of your old positions

that's probably how he ends up so wrong
