Default Re: Benjamin Franklin on "Whites"

Quote:
And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.
I don't get it. The Swedes, a swarthy complexion?

"as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English"
Does the "who" refer to the Germans or the Saxons? And since when do Saxons have lighter or darker skin then the rest of the Germans?

The US were founded by a bunch of retards as Franklin or sexual pervert as Jeffersson. I think the US is a big experiment to find out just how stupid, dumpy and superstitious the people of a civilization can get while still being competent enough to maintain indoor plumbing.
