A scandal is brewing in the UK and the US: a Nobel laureate is being accused of racism. Nobel Prize winner Dr. James Watson, 79, head of one of the leading genetics laboratories in the United States, said that Black people lag behind white people in intellectual development. In* an interview with a reporter for the British newspaper The Sunday Times, he said that he was "essentially gloomy about the prospects for Africa," because "all our social policies are based on the fact that the intelligence of its people is the same as ours — whereas all the testing says not really." * Dr.* Watson acknowledged that this painful issue is difficult to discuss. He expressed hope that all people are equal after all, but immediately added: "people who have to deal with Black employees find this is not true." *http://newsru.com/world/17oct2007/drwatson.html I keep coming across publications on the topic that "research into racial differences is banned for reasons of political correctness." Is there anyone on my feed who really knows this subject? Is it all nonsense, or is there actually something to it?
