Thank you for providing an example of what a bigot pretending to be smart sounds like. Now we all know what to look out for and combat.

Do you actually have an argument ? Do you actually have a contribution to make to the discussion ? Can you not see the claims being made here ? Can you actually argue one way or another, or is this discussion simply off-limits because anyone has any opinion whatsoever?

Is it essential that I add "I read this from some place" ?

I deal with this issue on a personal level; the least you can acknowledge is that it hurts for me to have internalized assertions I clearly did not dream up or produce myself.

That said, I am actually confused why someone would doubt your intellectual brilliance based on your mother-tongue :/

Who pretends to be smart by admitting their own capacity to become conceptually paralyzed by their own tools ?

What are you even talking about ?
