From the Guardian:
The DNA pioneer James Watson today apologised “unreservedly” for his apparent claim that black people are less intelligent than whites.
And this isn’t the first time.
Prof Watson has regularly courted controversy, reportedly saying that a woman should have the right to abort her child if tests were able to determine that it would be homosexual.
He has also suggested a link between skin colour and sex drive, proposing that black people have higher libidos, and claimed beauty could be genetically manufactured.
Sure, he’s probably a bigot, but shouldn’t we make allowances? After all, he’s a Nobel laureate, and we know how those Nobel laureates are.
And shouldn’t there also be headlines about how his Nobel prize puts pressure on him to run for President?
