Where does 'Woggism' begin?

Like a dude like you could get into MIT...lol. Cut the fake WASPy act, I see through you

He has said that he "graduate degreed in" (i.e. dropped out of) a CS/math program, which I can actually believe. I don't know about MIT.

UC Berkley , seriously ? You mean the joke of a college that created 386BSD or whatever to derive FreeBSD only to have FreeBSD defeated by a Finnish computer scientist Linus Torvalds who created Linux ? Linux has basically killed NetBSD and FreeBSD.

Yeah BSD only ended up becoming the basis of macOS and iOS (http://mirror.informatimago.com/next...arwin/faq.html):

Q. Why is Darwin based on BSD UNIX?

A. There are several reasons for this. The first one is historical. Mac OS X draws a lot of its code base from a system called OPENSTEP, created by NeXT Software, which Apple bought in 1997. OPENSTEP and its predecessor, NEXTSTEP, were based on 4.3 BSD. BSD has always had a rich academic developer community behind it, and while much of the original BSD UNIX was not free, its source code was available to anyone who obtained a license for it. The wide development community that arose to support BSD contributed to many of the ideas that drive today's open source community. That community also facilitated a great deal of research, including work to put BSD on Mach at Carnegie Mellon University-code that eventually found its way to NeXT and now to Apple.

Second, BSD is widely respected as clean, robust, and maintainable code. There remains a strong developer community that knows the code base very well and continues the work started at UC Berkeley. In addition, the BSD license is very open, which has made it easy for us to leverage its compelling core technology to enhance the Mac OS.

Best of all, as a result of making this choice, Apple is now an active participant in the BSD community. This allows us to make sure that the capabilities important to Mac users are added to BSD. Being part of the BSD community also gives us access to excellent peer review and keeps us on a path to adopt and contribute to open standards, the benefits of which are well known to our developers. The BSD community has been extremely supportive of Apple since we first approached NetBSD, FreeBSD, and others about doing a better job of sharing code. That happened even before we announced Darwin. Now we're pleased to have become an even more active participant in the community.

when i was in infants school in the late 70s, there was one black girl in my class
i hit her over the head with a plastic toy hammer and called her a golliwog

the teacher told me off for hitting her, not what i called her

britain in the 70s i suppose

Yes, I always picture English as extremely racist folks, despite the fact so many people from former colonies live in Britain. Schools in the U.K. are among the most ethnically and socially segregated in the OECD.

50 parallel that's where wog zone starts and reaches its peak between 45 and 40 parallel and below.

I should have put a poll. These would be options:

Where does 'woggism' begin?

Anything darker than Scandinavia
Anything darker than Britain
Anything darker than France/Hungary
Anything darker than North Italy

50 parallel that's where wog zone starts and reaches its peak between 45 and 40 parallel and below.

Most people start looking dark complexioned between 47th and 45th parallel.

Culturally and religiously in Europe, historically, there is a "wog barrier" that roughly follows the divide between Catholic and Protestant. This remarkable occurrence could be even more distinct than linguistic fault lines in Europe.

Most of Europe was Catholic before the Reformation including Britain. Does not correlate with genetics at all especially when you consider that a lot of genetics in Europe was set down in the Bronze Age.

I need an Australian person to create some kind of matrix, flow chart, or calculator to clearly delineate what is WOG and not WOG. WOG has to mean something more than having brown eyes. This term is confusing to Americans since we almost never use it.

Wog in Australia was Italians, Yugoslavs, Greeks, Lebanese etc. It was generally more ethnic people than most Australians who were Anglo-Celtic. It wasn't PC and was mostly used in the 50s, 60s and 70s. It is not really used now. Australians also called English people Poms. Australia had a pretty blunt and "call a spade a spade" culture in the past. You have to remember that calling someone a bastard was a compliment.

The genetic differences are not as remarkable as between races and nations, but there definitely are detectable regional differences along the lines of religion in Europe... as has been detected in places like Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany etc. It is even mentioned on 23andme. This is obviously not very old differences, but point to separate breeding for the past few hundred years.
