You seem right.
Anyways, to see this as a race is a biological error.
We know it from the study of the genome, with is 99.9% the same between all human.

Chaplin wasn't a Jew, but his mother was a gypsy and his half-brother, Sid, was half-jewish and half-gypsy.

I disagree.

It's not that.
It's just that if you think logically then all fanatism is simply not possible. Period. Fanatism implies a "faith", something that is beyond doubt and discussion, logics and by extension science can't be that way.
"American" is a continent, while US citizens is what you want to mean; regarding the defect you call "faith", i have none. Maybe one day you'll evolve too.

You can be fanatical about reason, or about science or concerning any field of knowledge
it's not hard nor does it sound that odd. When you take your learning and your understanding of reality to the next level where you strive to teach and to learn as much about said subject as possible. I don't really see any problem with my choice in words. As for your conception of the average American, I think you show a lack of faith in your fellow man, which is most lementable.

Serious think yes: I got the paper there: J. Edgar Hoover with the McCarthyism have victimized a lots of people: It was the most non-American think ever.
FBI investigated him for white slavery in 1943 and court fond him guilty, but the blood have prove it's was wrong. And the re-entry visa was revoked in 1952, this time he never go back in USA until 1972... Because of that, you loose a great actor.
Jewish ascendancy: Yes, but his parent was Anglican and him, most of the time agnostic or atheist.

He never voted because he said that in USA "voting" was not worthy.
He considered comedians were more important than politicians, for they made people think, see things from another point of view and discuss. Not "fun before work".
The FBI "investigated" Chaplin for "serious things", such as being "a revolutionary anarchist who was working for the communists to destroy the american way of life" (SIC, from his official file).
He was of jewish ascendancy, but he was an atheist. |
