I'm glad we now agree.
As I already said, if you do follow logic, there is no logic in following a
genetic or anthrolopological topic within a linguistic thread. There is
simply
no relation here with IE studies, PC or not...
So, to put it succinctly: Go away.
If you want to specifically explore /flavus/ or other colours in a general
sense, this is a different matter. It's the needless association with race
without full justification that I detest. You aren't leading this topic
anywhere
except into racial bigotry. IE's were simply never a single people so it
seems
irrational to treat them as such.
