There's a difference between saying that X is not Y and not saying that X is Y.

So your point is that if someone claims that the fact that Dravidians are descended from barbarians means that Dravidians are barbarians then they would have to agree that they must be their own parents by the same logic?

If that is your point who is it aimed at? Dauphin never said dravidians are barbarians. You said that!

Hmmm. The thread was started as an intended one-post conclusion to a thread-jack on the Babe thread that someone said should be taken elsewhere, and after a circuitous discussion we're now back to posting pictures of Asian / Subcontinental women.

The Japanese use gaijin while the Chinese used to call white people Barbarians (but the Chinese word for Barbarians).

Gaijin isn't a slur...
