One of the biggest pitfalls of common discourse is allowing people who want you dead to define the argument. Thomas Sowell became prominent because he did not let the trappings of political arguments be the only possible answers. Stop using the term white, I’m Slavic, Germanic, and Nordic. This means me and people from the Mediterranean have fuck all in common but we are still classified the same. As an American I have nothing in common with Germans, yet I am classified in the same group. Playing by these stupid identity games only gives these quibbling retards validation. Want to discriminate legitimately? Use their culture. We already know that ghetto black culture is shit, we already know that central and South American culture is shit, we already know that Northwestern American culture is shit. The practices a culture implements shows over generations, black American who eat vegetables and don’t down hundreds of grams of sugar a day magically live past 65. Asian families have been growing taller in America thanks to access to real food. A culture defines your genetics tomorrow.

Culture is a product of genetics and environment. In other words, it is not either 'nature' or 'nurture' that makes a man, it is the combination of both.
Environment is not limited to physical environment, it contains all outside forces. Even if you have some superman dna, you're not going to be functional if you get the MKultra treatment during your formative years.
I think you put too much weight on the genetic end. Modern civilization has taken us too far from natural life, so the equation isn't as simple as it used to be.
