If civilized, then talk civilized

I had some sort of argument with some people today around "civilized" and "uncivilized". It is sad to see how ignorant some people are. People said ethnic groups that eat with their hands are uncivilized regardless that's part of their culture - actually, the argument goes "since it is part of the culture, therefore they are not civilized". People said Chinese invented chopsticks, which require difficult theory of energy behind, so Chinese is more civilized. People even said Chinese has a more civilized gene, what a piece of crap. I said I don't think Chinese is more civilized in anyway, then people said we had all those history and full of inventions; I said that's the past and I cannot see why Chinese is more civilized now, people said it's all because many years ago government did this and that and therefore a lot of people are not educated now, but still couldn't deny Chinese is just not more civilized than the others.

Piece of crap! Ignorant and naive.

You can say a civilization is more advance, but it is not necessary tiding to how civilize the people are. People maybe more (or less) civilized because of culture, education, experience, etc, but it has nothing to do with gene - plus, where the heck in the mind would "Chinese are more civilized" possibly come from? I honestly don't have a single clue. Of coz, I have civilized Chinese friends, actually, I don't have uncivilized Chinese friends, but none of my friends are uncivilized anyway! Yes, I have more Chinese friends. Since all my friend are civilized, and I have more Chinese friends than friends from other ethnicities, can I conclude that Chinese are more civilized? Even with my pathetic logic sense I can tell this is completely screwed.

Actually I was quite angry. People just have no idea what are they talking about.
