That *does* appear to be the situation regarding any type of science or comparison of racial characteristics in anything but an overtly PC fashion.
Try this link for a Nobel Prize winner saying blacks are intellectually inferior.
He has since apologized and resigned from a prestigious position (IIRC at Cold Spring).
If I get time this weekend I will write a vanity on this: since a Nobelist is wrong on genetics, maybe Al Gore is wrong on the weather? ;-)
Cheers!
That was Watson taking back/paying the price for a comment based on his views of science/genetics. If he had referenced a specific paper, or perhaps a theory in general, would that paper / theory have been redacted? I would hope not.
