Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of the word "inherently". .... Yeah, talk about ignorance.

A words heritage (pardon the pun) does not always translate literally to it's commonly accepted meaning.

From the American HERITAGE Dictionary:
SYLLABICATION: in·her·ent
PRONUNCIATION: n-hîrnt, -hr-
ADJECTIVE: Existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; intrinsic.
ETYMOLOGY: Latin inhaerns, inhaerent-, present participle of inhaerre, to inhere. See inhere.
OTHER FORMS: in·herent·ly —ADVERB

How about you stop playing the who's ignorant game. Perhaps it is YOU who has a superiority complex.

The distinction you appear to not be making is that a charaterisitic can be intrinsic to a culture, seperate from it's racial makeup. How does it not make sense that tribes of American Indians who lived near major bodies of water and hence depended more on fishing produced better fishermen than tribes who lived in the Great Plains?

You make a good point. This also explains why the French, as a county, is always on the losing side.

Congrats ITALY!

P.S. Please limit the number of 4 letter words when responding.

I saw a big fat chick in a white one the other day and thought to myself, "Hmm... looks like a whale egg."

Cracked myself up so hard I almost crashed.
