Having read the email, I’ll say I don’t understand the controversy. Alright, on the part of the usual suspects I understand it. People are the same. Everywhere- full stop. Deviation from this dogma WILL not be tolerated. Full stop. Do not go there. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The email itself, contrary to what’s been widely reported, is not that controversial. Go ahead, read it. The argument relies on the science of intelligence. As of this day, the science hasn’t resolved anything related to race and intelligence. That’s a fact. That’s all the email says.
I’d also like to know- why does this matter? Why do we care that one race might be smarter than another? Why is it so crucial that all races be completely identical, except for those pesky physical differences? Why does it matter? If everyone is equal, isn’t the argument bolstered by the notion that even though not everyone is equally capable (physically, intellectually, whatever yardstick one chooses) everyone is born into this world with the same rights to pursue their life in a way of their own choosing?
Just an observation, but doesn’t it seem like the same ones screaming “scientific consensus” regarding global warming awfully eager to kick science to the curb regarding this topic? Why is that?
