I heard about the alledgedly racist comments of James Watson; I have
not read them but assume he holds the conviction "Whites" are more
intelligent than "Blacks". If that not be the case then please some
poster provide the proper context.
The article that caused the fuss:
"The elementary DNA of Dr Watson"
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article2630748.ece
Watson isn't permitted to get a whole sentence out. Instead his comments
are presented as a patchwork of sentence fragments. These are then
juxtaposed with a quote from Watson's book - apparently to make it look
as though Watson thought the inequalities he was discussing had a
genetic basis.
The resulting fiasco in the press has been capably analysed -
in the article:
James Watson Tells the Inconvenient Truth: Faces the Consequences.
