He told the truth.

Science meets left wing politics
“The Nobel-winning biologist has drawn global criticism with unfounded pronouncements on genetics, race and intelligence. He still thinks he’s right, a new documentary finds.”
“Still thinks he’s right”.
Have I missed some late breaking studies?
I have gathered a lot of data on this subject by watching “Cops” and “Judge Judy” and I conclude Dr. Watson is correct.
This is the intelligence political black hole that meets the CDC facts about suicide, self-harm and addiction issues in the LGBT community.
Bring it up and face ridicule, loss of credibility and ability to work in your educated field.
No leftist will ever debate his assertions. Ever. Why is that?
For example...I'd be willing to bet that it's no coincidence that East Africans consistently win the world's major marathon races.And I have no problem that this is at least partially due to one,or more,forms of genetic superiority.
And it's been proven by medical researchers that the Irish have a higher rate of alcoholism than just about any other identifiable group on earth...and that fact is at least partially the result of genetics.I can say this because I'm 100% Irish...and therefore cannot be accused of racism.
Whining by the same people who insist all cultures are equal.
He did the study to the best of his ability and the conclusions were not tainted by PC politics at the time.
Proof the problem is political correctness and not his study. If his study/investigation found other results he would have published that instead.
At some point he will be remembered as the brave pioneer he was/is even if the results weren’t popular.
As Jack Nicholson said in the movie “A Few Good Men” ironically directed by Rob Reiner; “You Can’t Handle The Truth!”. You just can’t make this stuff up.
I guess leftists really don’t believe in science.
And eff the nyt too.

Dr. Gad Saad says that there are evolutionary biologists getting told in science class that there is no such thing as biological gender, to say animals are male and female and not on a spectrum is sexist.
To discuss sex differences unless to say women are superior or men are inferior in some way is forbidden, too, as sexism.
The “IQ” measurement system itself is a mere human guess at ascribing one number to a list (one dimensional vector) of characteristics. This is not a fair measure of all the things a human brain is good for. It can even leave out important things like a sense of kinesthetics. Did Negro peoples adapt to what it took to live in Africa? Probably so, and probably better than white peoples could. Watson could have included a giant caveat about the entire “IQ” measurement system in his comments.
It is undeniable scientific fact that, on average, African people score lower on standard IQ tests than the other races. It’s stupid to even argue about it - it just is.
It’s also quite debatable as to what the IQ number really says about intelligence. Early childhood teachers I have talked to say that there is no racial difference in learning ability in the early years - some kids that get more support at home learn faster, but all are capable. I have also talked to high school teachers that see a huge gap between the races.
Let’s face it, you don’t have to be a genius to do well in America’s public schools - just stay awake and try a bit and you got it knocked. The racial gap is more of a cultural thing than IQ - so many of the black kids aren’t interested and put forth no effort to learn, therefore they don’t.
Thee truth is racist! Send the truth to a re education camp!
And one of the more intelligent folks from that continent has a suggestion: Let Africa Sink
And for the Neo-Nazis and alt-Whities crowing over Mr. Watson's observations, they should remember that the average IQ of Asians is a little higher than that of White people.
As for how intrinsic the IQ difference may or may not be, we just need to remember that Africa is mostly run be deplorable people who are perfectly fine with keeping their citizens dumb, poorly fed and oppressed.
