I have complained about this before. Extropianism and Transhumanism
have long been connected to the racist movement in the minds of many.
That is why it is so scary to me to see racial profiling, group
judgments, eugenics, selective child killing, and The Bell Curve
discussed on this list as if they are reasonable positions within our
philosophy.

(And no, this is not an invitation for all the racists to come out of
the woodwork and demand that I offer real scientific proof that these
viewpoints are wrong. I'm not playing that game.)
