In a university, not far away, not too long ago...i was sitting in a hermetically (i actually spelled this correctly! wow) sealed humanities building, taking a course called Race and Racism:the beginnings of the 'race' concept. One of my favourite books is by Stephen Jay Gould "The Mismeasure of Man" . We used another book called: "Designer Genes" speaks about 'eugenics' being used in Malaysia during the 70's/80's...sterilization of the poor so there would be less poor people...i was shocked to learn that Canada was guilty of the practice too...
