For your amusement, although not directly relevant to net.women alone:

"I am apt to suspect...all the other species [sic --lsc] of men...to be 
naturally inferior to the whites.  There never was a civilized nation of any 
other complexion that white, nor even any individual eminent either in action 
or speculation."
			-- David Hume, Scottish empiricist, historian, and 
			   economist, 1766


"Races north of the Pyrenees...never reach maturity; they are of great stature 
and of a white color.  But they lack all sharpness of wit and penetration of
intellect."
			-- Said of Toledo, Moorish savant, c. 1100 AD
