    OK I'll admit the face thing has a big dollop of hardwired visual stuff
    going on, but I shouldn't have said that the phenomenon was totally
    memetic (which means I did shit at trying to make my point) just that it
    reinforces the concept of resident prejudice surviving in the face of
    contradictory evidence.

    Sorry - that para was garbage. Anyway it's genetic, yeah, I did bad,
    sorry.
