Uh-oh! Boris spoke the truth. Now he’s going to be in BIG trouble with the libtards.

He is...there's already a thread on this at Democratic Underground. After only 2 posts, he's been called a "major-league arse", "very naive", "gross ignorant" and "dangerous".

You know if DUmmies are that upset with you, you're on the right track!

"DUmmies"

Jared Diamond is one of the most popular leftist social scientists in the world. His book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" rejects the superior IQ theory. He doesn't deny inherited intelligence, but he smugly states that there's no difference in intelligence between the people of Papua New Guinea and Great Britain. He attributes most of the world's disparity to geographic reasons.

He further states that if you swapped the present population of New Guinea with the population of some western European country like the U.K., the inhabitants of their new surroundings would quickly adapt to the same lifestyles as the previous inhabitants. In short, Brits would become hunter-gatherers and New Guineans would be civilized scientists, mathematicians, doctors, etc. The book is laughable, but many people believe it.
