For your amusement, although not directly relevant to net.women alone:
"I am apt to suspect...all the other species [sic --lsc] of men...to be
naturally inferior to the whites. There never was a civilized nation of any
other complexion that white, nor even any individual eminent either in action
or speculation."
-- David Hume, Scottish empiricist, historian, and
economist, 1766
"Races north of the Pyrenees...never reach maturity; they are of great stature
and of a white color. But they lack all sharpness of wit and penetration of
intellect."
-- Said of Toledo, Moorish savant, c. 1100 AD
[These are excerpts from The Experts Speak, a collection of predictions and
aphorisms edited by C. Cerf and V. Navasky, to be published in August, and
printed in the June 1984 issue of The Atlantic.]
