Slate has an article by William Saletan on the topic of racial differences in intelligence — the same topic that cost James Watson his job. He argues that liberals are to this topic as Christians are (or were) to evolution. That section is titled “Liberal Creationism.”
The comment section has some fascinating debate which demonstrates that Saletan has a point. It was interesting how some debaters criticized Saletan saying there is no such thing as race, it’s all a social construct of some sort. Someone on the other side responded that the same people who deny there is such a thing as race when this topic comes up will be the same ones to argue that one race is discriminated against in employment.
