Actually, no. That's highly intuitive.
(I'm limiting distinguishing characteristics to purely physical attributes. If one is wearing a burqa, Hasidic garb, or Oktoberfest lederhosen and pointed hat, certain logical assumptions may be made.)

It's both intuitive and logical to make assumptions, but people go too far. Cf. Gordon Allport, The Nature Of Prejudice (1954).

My gut tells me that it is time to lay down some Meters for the Daily Dose. The logic is unassailable. A short little instrumental that once again shows that, when the Meters were really on, every note was intentional and not one was superfluous. "Tippi-Toes":

Now, that's hard to believe. I reckon you've seen some pretty big loads of horseshoe in your day.

I trust you're treating some of Sebby's long posts as multiple loads.

We will be studying this until the end of time
"Besides partisan affiliation, it was cultural anxiety—feeling like a stranger in America, supporting the deportation of immigrants, and hesitating about educational investment—that best predicted support for Trump."

This is what they're afraid of: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-...htmlstory.html
It's going to happen anyways, because:
Quote:
Yet not all of the city’s changing demography, or even most of it, is a result of newcomers. Today, most of the city’s Latino growth springs from children born to immigrants who arrived two or three decades ago.
And it’s only going to become more pronounced. In Harris County, of which Houston is the county seat, 51% of all those under the age of 20 are Latinos, and 19% are African American.
What that means is a whole new dynamic, in which minorities are no longer seen as outsiders. “Suddenly these are 100% American kids, and they’re falling in love with each other, making multiracial babies,” Klineberg said.

No, he's a loser. I suspect his soul will rot in hell, and that Dante, were he writing today, would find a place in one of the inner circles for him.
