In an attempt to maintain a common terminology, here is a typical (Google) definition of "racism": --- a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others --- Readers can compare that definition with Watson's published interview statement: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/fury-at-dna-pioneers-theory-africa ns-are-less-intelligent-than-westerners-394898.html --- Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really". He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true". --- From: "Kenneth Nordtvedt" <knordtvedt@bresnan.net> So who appointed you the definer of Watson's alleged "racist comments"?
