Actually, there are academics and scientists who have built their academic reputations off of (what can be interpreted as) bigotry. I mentioned the Social Darwinists Herrnstein and Murray who were loved by many despite the hate of many.

I don't know how the Nobel prize works but I imagine you have to be doing something in the interest of humankind so bigotry isn't a good thing. I can also see why this guy is losing speaking engagements. He's a loose canon.

This Week's Irony Overload.

yea, i don't get it. white people have generally been lagging behind asians in those standardized tests for a while now. i guess it really is genetic.

You are not asian. If you were included you probably held down the average. Do people still eat dogs in your country?

yes i am. last time i checked, asian/pacific islander was still a category on the census. i guess that entitles me to kick white people's asses in standardized test because i'm genetically smarter because i'm asian. it explains so much, but i never wanted to hurt inferior people like you. that also means that you're beneath me because you're severly less intelligent.

do you still count with all of your fingers and toes? that kind of thing happens with inbreeding in the mountains.

but i do enjoy the fact that you were smart enough to use the search function. does that mean you're IQ is higher than 70?

Hey. ;)

hi.

<=== bringing TBT to GC

So a little medical genetic education.

Lately, LOTS of studies are showing that rearing humans in impoverished environments, i.e. poor food sources as infants, lack of instruction and nurturing and harangued harassment/lack of opportunities as one gets older causes significant health debilities as one ages.

So, Watson, who received the Nobel Prize in 1953 with Francis Crick for discovering the structure of DNA by X-ray crystallography, made a huge leap and bound because most of the impoverished countries on the planet according to him are thought to be in Africa.

However, research has shown that to be inaccurate and foolish. While there are a number of countries in Africa whose populations are in poor health, there are several other countries, some who hide their sick from public view that equally have poor health which those who are colorstruck often ignore. North Korea and parts of China are notorious in hiding their infirmed population from world view.

From a global health perspective, as humankind, we all should attempt to improve health environments for ALL children and parents. As long as we have screwball academicians that throw poorly investigated propaganda against large groups of people in the name of science and medical genetics who have notable accolades, we will never evolve. Period.

Survival of the fittest means, we are only as strong as our weakest...

AT ITS BEST!!! TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY!!!
 

Revealed: scientist who sparked racism row has black genes
By Robert Verkaik
Published: 10 December 2007

A Nobel Prize-winning scientist who provoked a public outcry by claiming black Africans were less intelligent than whites has a DNA profile with up to 16 times more genes of black origin than the average white European.

An analysis of the genome of James Watson showed that 16 per cent of his genes were likely to have come from a black ancestor of African descent. By contrast, most people of European descent would have no more than 1 per cent.

Karma!

...ain't it a b*tch?!? :) Tee hee!!

Well, in kind of a jacked-up way, everyone who called him an ignorant old douche bag for spouting this kind of nonsense accidentally and ironically supported his original thesis . . . my head is about to explode.

I guess that is another reason for him to dispell his original thesis huh?

Being ignorant has nothing to do with being intelligent or unintelligent ;)
