[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"][quote]So why isn't the "they can't choose being black" rhetoric common as a defense against racism?[/quote] Where I grew up, it was - but that was in an extremely classist environment where there were sociological shadings to the whole business. Where I think your greater error lies is that there's nothing in the Bible about black people being inferior - there's a couple of verses about slaves obeying their masters and masters treating their slaves well, but skin color isn't mentioned. There's mention in the Bible of homosexuality being an "abomination," though. posted by Ryvar at 10:24 AM PST on May 4[/quote]
