Compare those and you will see that the bolded isn't true

Eh? That makes no sense. The fact of acting as teacher to some children does not preclude one's holding such opinions of those children, or, more significantly, of the groups they are members of.

He has made himself quite clear on the issue in hundreds of posts in dozens of threads here over the years.

I don't see how it cancels the fact that his (presumably) black/arab student excelled in maths and he willingly admitted it.

It's not relevant to the issue. Here's an example closer to home: "I know and work with Tatars. Some of them are my friends. However, I do believe that as a people they are 'less civilized and cultured' than us Slavs".

Tatar here is interchangeable with any other Soviet ethnic group, including ostensibly "white" Georgians and Armenians.. Of course, at the apex you have, say, Muscovite Russians, who look down on everyone, including Belorussians and Ukrainians.

Interestingly, there is such a hierarchy within the Jewish world: Bukharan Jews are considered by Ashkenazi (ex-Soviet) Jews to be primitive or savage, "closer to Muslims than to Jews".

All of this is not strictly racism according to the streamlined definition I offered, but the point was simply to show that the quote you presented has no bearing on the matter in any particular way. In fact, this is exactly what many rightists leverage to accuse leftists of harboring racist attitudes toward their "protected populations".

Maybe you should ask Kadagar about such (presumable) inconsistencies and not me?

I show you two entire threads full of racist statements and you counter with an assumption about a sentence?

Am I asking you something? Like I said - let us wait for his clarification.

I've tended to think that Kadagar is racist, but mostly due to his experience with the immigrants in Sweden (rather than an inherent belief that white/scandanavian culture superior) and he applies that to the races at whole.

I agree with PVC that if he had not met the immigrants (or at least those kind) he would probably have a different outlook.

No offence intended Kad, though I am calling you racist .

Kadagar, come out of your hiding you slacker!
Can't you see people here are fuming to hear you speak and make sure once again you were a racist. They wouldn't be able to have a nice sleep without it.
