CL 2/20

The issue is racial mixing and the audience is white Americans. He could also be talking to those who disagree with him, inter-racial couples. The gap was that he thinks they don’t understand how negative race amalgamation could be.
His claim is that there are consequences to racial interbreeding.
His reason for his claim being true is that his evidence shows that white people are superior. He thinks that interbreeding will lead to a less intelligent human civilization.
His evidence was data that he made that white people’s brains weighed more than African Americans and other races(pg. 84).
The warrant is that he is a racist white supremacist.
The counterargument is, “There is no agreement amongst high authorities… that inter-mixture of different races leads to final extinction of civilization” (pg. 79). He admits that not everyone agrees with his claim and that racial interbreeding will not cause the end of the human race.
He only included the parts of his research that would benefit his claim, he excluded certain skulls from the data. This is a flaw in his research.
