BIOLOGY: Japanese = Cool

Name: xct !3zLxoft0js 2005-02-11 12:02

My girlfriend claims that the core body temperature of a Japanese person is some 2 degrees centigrade cooler than that of a Caucasian person. Is she full of shit?

This calls for an experiment, one involving a thermometer and large numbers of nubile Japanese coeds.

Unlikely. Body sizes may change, but internal chemistry (enzymes, catalysts and all that).

RECTAL THERMOMETER FOR NUBILE JAPANESE COEDS! A THROBBING ONE AT THAT

average ball size of a japanese is about half of a caucasian. lol

This is actually something scientists could be studying more, but don't due to political correctness.  For example, a group of scientists wanted to test the DNA of a black neighborhood to see if there was an inherently more violent or aggressive gene, and the community denied it because it would cause another negative stereotype, even if the results were scientifically true.

There's also a study that asian brains are more receptive to higher sound frequencies, while black people are more receptive to deeper bass frequencies, explaining racial prefences in music styles.  There are plenty of other racial tests that cold be done, but ultimately people would be too offended by the scientific truth. 

If you could "prove" one race generally had a better trait or higher percentage of a beneficial gene, or another race had a less evolved gene, then it would destroy our self imposed "all men are created equal" view.  We are all supposed to agree that "racism is a bad and ugly thing," and if science actually proved that one race had superior qualities over another, then you'd restart all kinds of social turmoil from the previous century, namely "superiority" groups that believe they are the ultimate race.

The solution is to view all races as having inherent differences, neither being better than another.  Balance, if you will.

Also, Japanese people can draw cool anime art.  Americans can't, even if they try.  This may be a genetic factor in the perception of the human anatomy.  By percieving females to look a certain way, they are drawn a certain way.

However, Americans can represent themselves in more abstract forms such as cartoons, animals, and furries with human psychology and characteristics.  See Looney Toons, Homestar Runner, etc.  Abstract figures that act human without having to look it.

Really talented artists, who can actually draw, tend to have more serious expressions and realistic but somewhat exagerated proportions in art.  See the art in any fantasy or sci-fi cover.  People are serious, heroic, bold, etc.  You don't see emotion or expression conveyed through physical anatomy, like in anime.  But with an abstract animal or cartoon representation, you can show these extra emotions through physical means. 

Anime is sort of a compromise between realism and cartoony abstraction.

Of course such stuff is dictated by a perception of how the female form 'OUGHT' to look.  :P

Internal chemistry does change.  Genetic variation could just as easily affect the thermogenesis mechanisms in the body (e.g. uncoupling of energy generation -> leading to heat production).  IIRC this is more prevalent in animals and young children -- humans tend to be more behavioral, e.g. we regulate our body temperature by putting on clothes or physically moving somewhere where the temperature is more agreeable.

Regardless the body temperature should still remain fairly close to 36 (98 F).  I don't think it would be an easy subject to study due to environmental differences...

That has NOTHING to do with genetics it's a culutral and society thing.

So, what about the whites that aren't from the Caucasus? You don't have to use that incorrect (and somewhat racist) politically correct terminology. Personally I consider myself white, not Caucasian (don't like the place), and I consider blacks well, blacks, not necessarily "African" or "African American", and if a "yellow" guy was born next house, he'd be Spanish, not Asian.

You make a good point about overcorrectedness. 'African-American' implies that the person is a foreigner, and Caucasian is a term rooted in racism and white supremacy.

Alright, let me rephrase:

My girlfriend is a yellow, goldfish-tending, pointy-hat-wearing nip. She claims that, as a fat, ungainly gaiko, my evil pink body should be two degrees warmer than hers, and smell of butter. Is she, like all her compatriots, a lying, treacherous xenophobe?

THANKS!!!!!!!

All bullshitting and banter aside, Japanese women are the hottest on the planet.

Anyone who disagrees may meet me at sunrise with sword or pistol, afoot or on horseback.
