Everyone knows Basque is the only real language, and every other language was designed by Benedictine monks to prop up the story of the Tower of Babel

    I've been rewatching a lot of Futurama lately so I read that last response in Dr. Zoidberg's voice and now I can't get over how well it fits.

    In can’t tell if this is a Measurehead parody done in poor taste, or an actual phrenologist. I’m leaning heavily to the former, not even Nazis are that blatant anymore.

    I feel like it's probably an actual phrenologist because he implies dutch white people were created by Yakub which is really down the black supremacist rabbit hole.

    Edit: youtube video on the subject

    I had to read some actual phrenologist papers from the late 1800s/early 1900s for a college class I took on racism and wow it is some WILD shit. Like the base level is the skull measurements but a lot of those crackpots tried to rope in literally every academic and religious subject they could.

    Also fun fact the guy who my university department was originally named after believed that black people weren't just unintelligent but that melanin made your skull a different shape which also made you less intelligent. It was only found out after some of his diaries were sold at auction. School was named after him for like 70 years.

    Black supremacists are something we can joke about because they don't hold power the way white supremacists do. I'm never sure how to feel about this kind of stuff.

    I'm hoping to get an asylum in Netherlands later this year, and a lot of memes about it fill me with dread

    It really is an ugly language. English, French and German, all smashed together with all sorts of extra vowels.

    It was genuinely funny until he brought up Yakub, but that's honestly really cringe at least
