behaves the way he does

Stereotyping? Ascribing certain characteristics to certain ethnic groups is encroaching into ground that could construed as racism?

Not that I am innocent of that disposition.

Jumping in to conclusions!!!
Did you read the post in which Havi was talking about Pashtuns???
This is what he had to say (and my post was a reply to this post).

It was their sense of patriotism that attracted me. I want to be like them. Great people with a great history and culture we often overlook.

Now tell me why did you have to misconstrue my post? Is it because of my flags?
Aren't ascribing certain characteristics to a nationality then? Can this be counted as racism???

Have you read Isaac Asimov's " Foundation series"?

I think you might enjoy it. It is set in the future at a time when mankind has expanded to populate much of the galaxy. They have this computer that can predict what humans will do in given conditions provided there are enough of them....so a large enough population will behave in a predictable way. It is based on a kind of pschycology and they used that to make people behave the way they wanted them to and avoid wars and such. I Don't know if something like that is ever going to be possible but thought it sounded cool. Prophecy on steroids, much better than all this ancient stuff.

Relax. Don't get your *kickers in a fist" that was light hearted comment directed at myself. So no need to take take it serious

And yes I would have to do lot of reading on this subject before I could comment on this with some authority. Time I don't have, so we will leave it at that for now.
