> My "racist" beliefs originate from the inevitable conclusions reached by the voluminous research done on racial g-factor correlates, behavioral genetics, and SES-controlled twin adoption studies in the last half century. Specifically those studies which are both controlled for, and devoid of, those biases which Gould often lamented about physiognomy papers of old. What are your racist beliefs? It sounds like you are describing racial beliefs, which might be a different matter. A scientific documentation of biological facts about race would be, I imagine, perfectly acceptable even to liberals (although my poorly informed understanding is that, despite your claim, there is no consensus that scientific evidence of this is available—since 'race' is a cultural, not a scientific (or at best only informally scientific), notion anyway). Rather, it is the misuse of scientific evidence to promote ideas of racial superiority, or to misinform other public-policy decisions, to which a liberal (or hopefully anyone …) would object.
