[QUOTE="kolvar, post: 599572, member: 1423"] mhm, dark/ black is culturally associated with evil? Not in all cultures. (although the european/ amarican culture seems to have still a problem with that --> it has something to do with racism). As far as degrees go, I can only say, that I now as many people, who are good at something without a degree as are people who are bad at the same thing with one. Degrees mean only, that you are able to learn and are good at doing some tests. (I should know, because I have a degree in history and german and am slightly dislexic and have realy no idea about most of history). The basic problem here seems to be, that something, that is applyed to a whole race and both genders can not be sexist or racist, as Vaxalon pointed out. If I, as a man, say, that men and women are bastards (which is mostly true, if you consider the legal part), one could point out, that I am sexist, because I wrote "men" first and used "bastard" (which is associated with male subjects of a race), but not for calling women so. Actually, this discussion is realy fun (g). [/QUOTE]
