Not that elementary, my dear Watson!

One of the most prominent scientists in the world, James Watson, who won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the structure of DNA, claimed that members of the black race are less intelligent than whites.

“I hoped that all people were equal, but was countered by employers who have black employees and who claim that this is simply not the case; There is no sound reason to believe that the intellectual capacity of people who evolved separately by geography was developed equally; Our wishes for the equality of all people and the need for the creation of a universal human heritage will not be sufficient to prove this scientifically”.

The commission for equality and human rights is currently evaluating Watson’s claims.

Ne ho parlato anch'io.
Mi sembrano affermazioni deliranti.
