    Nah, this is just basic biological racism. It wouldn’t be phrenology until they were making arguments that the shape or the lumps on his head made him stupid/insane/an insatiable raping machine/some other dumb bullshit.

    Somehow, biological racism isn’t nearly as stupid as phrenology.

      No, it is just as stupid, racist, and grounded in as much verifiable science but this is a rectangle/square conversation. Phrenology is a subsect of biological racism.
