When discussing the era of scientific racism, it's a mistake to assume that interest in science correlated with socially progressive beliefs, in the modern sense of progress.

Back and forth. Cultures were far more isolated back in the day and the typical " 'murican Southern/Chicagoan journalist/NYC cop" on a Franco-Belgian comic-book was given as a fact.
