Do you think everyone should have the right to separate themselves from people they find distasteful?

Do you understand that in western countries that is not allowed?

Well, we can do our best. And for those instances where we have to work / socialize with those we'd prefer not to, there's always carefully disguised disdain.

Having disdain for people is beneath me, and hardly a valid concession to not being allowed to self segregate. I don't have any ill will for those misfortunate enough to be in the bottom of the genetic pool. I think most of them are great people who deserve respect, who are contributing members of society, and I wish them the best. But lying about the value of genetics is extremely harmful to everyone, even them.

I suppose it is hypothetically possible for there to be people beneath you, but my imagination isn't good enough to think of who they might be.

Nobody is stopping you from segregating yourself.

Dude, you ain't foolin' no-one. We've all seen your posts. You have nothing but fucking ill-will towards nine tenths of the people on the planet, the ones that you think are "the bottom of the gene pool".

Says the guy who knows fuck-all about genetics except for some idiotic 19th century ideas about breeding that predate the discovery of Mendelian inheritance.

Literally anti discrimination laws do exactly that. Read a history book not fed to you by leftists. White kids were marched into school at bayonet point to force integration.

Anti-discrimination laws prohibit you from discriminating against people on the basis of sex, religion, colour, etc. They don't say you have to hang around other people. If you want to move out to the desert and live alone in a cave to avoid all the lesser people you despise, you can.

For somebody who looks down at so many others that you see as "lesser intelligence", you sure know a lot of stuff that isn't so.
