Default Re: Nobel Prize scientist - Black people are dumb

But is there any possibility the scientist is right?
Political correctness has such that this statement
can't even be discussed or evaluated in polite
company.

Is he right? That depends on what he means. Is his criticism of social policy valid? I think so. Are his conclusions justified based on the evidence? No. Do dark-skinned ethnicities have lower IQ scores across the board than light-skinned ethnicities? Of course it's possible, but it seems highly unlikely - even if there is a general trend or correlation, given the number of different geographical areas and natural environments we're considering, it's likely that there are major exceptions.

I'm not suggesting that the question shouldn't be discussed, I think this PC stuff is [censored].
