RE: writ large, another sip

Because skin color is inborn, your KKK example. Ok, you're linguistically
calling me a bigot, whatever that means.

I'm drawing _linguistic_ comparisons, Daniel, primarily. On the less
flattering side, I would say you're bigoted toward academics the way KKK
members are bigoted toward blacks.

This is an awful comparison, of course, and no, I don't think you're
going to be burning crosses on college lawns or lynching academics.
 Heck, you may even be bothered if you saw things like that happening.
 Doesn't keep you from using the same type of _language_, though.

Where or how did I imply that "intelligence" was "inborn" and that the
"self-perception of being intelligence" was inborn? Where are you
getting this from? You're on another page here.
