Could he have had Eastern European or Russian ancestry?

Ghengis Khan and his Mongolian and Chinese troops conquered and ruled Persia, spreading their DNA.in the process, it could be the case that the Iranian population has a significantly higher than average percentage of men with a sizably increased number of Ace2 receptors in their lung tissue as Chinese men do.

There is no reason that this couldn’t have naturally emerged. Also, I’m still not convinced that there is not a racial component to susceptibility to infection by this virus. Even if this were the case,it could easily be explained to have occurred through natural selection.

The fact that the virus has hit hard in Iran could be due to Ghengis Khan and his marauding Mongolian and Chinese troops having had conquered and ruled Persia, spreading their DNA in the process.

I wonder if a much higher than average percentage of the Iranian population has an increased number of ace receptors like the Chinese.

These are truly dangerous developments. But there is a silver lining to this unfair assymetrical treatment. It will ultimately give dissidents an advantage by training them to be highly disciplined in their thoughts and speech. They should still try to articulate their messages but they should not do so in a violent or intimidating manner. Sending messages to the ADL stating that their patience is wearing thin is intended to intimidate and should not be done.

At first, I thought you were joking. But when you concluded with George Washington Carver it seemed like he didn’t deserve to be ridiculed so I am assuming that you were serious.

This is a horrible plan. It’s the opposite of what science is about which is seeking truth. Affirmative action is running away from it. And it’s very unfair to give the prize to someone that doesn’t deserve it instead of one that does. If you aren’t going to award the prize to the appropriate person(s) why even give out a prize at all?

If a historical figure deserved a prize but was never awarded one because of bigotry then they could be awarded retroactively. The principle here is the most deserving person(s) are awarded prizes, These will be people that you can take pride in and inspiration from. Awarding prizes by any other metric would taint the prize and it’s purpose.
