High Minded Intellectual Discussion

Apparently the new TNR is going to take a look at the racial (racist) history of the old TNR. While it isn't the only thing that matters in that context, the "great" thing about the publication of the Bell Curve issue was that they could "provocatively" raise the question of whether black people were stupid, and then wonder why black people (and others) were just so emotional about the whole thing. Such sensitivities! Such unwillingness to engage in high level debate! Why won't you make the effort to seriously debunk this racist pseudo-science (even as people did, of course)? Why can't you engage with the very serious question of whether you are genetically inferior even though 20 years later I still don't understand the basic concepts of "race" and "population" as cultural versus scientific constructs?
