Shh. Only some truths should be spoken aloud. You clearly deserve to lose your job if you speak one of the other truths that offends people.

  One should also be careful to claim that the dominant group is inherently superior. There are a lot of, uh, counter examples. Calling this a truth is pretty silly. There is a lot of evidence that human cognition is highly dependent on environment.

    He didn't claim they were superior. He said they deviate more from the mean, in both directions. For example, there are a lot more boys than girls who struggle with basic reading comprehension. Sound familiar?

    There's a lot of evidence that not having two X chromosomes is less stable, leading to...irregularities. That sword cuts both ways. I don't like ignorance being promoted under the cloak of not causing offense. It causes more harm than good. If there's a societal problem, you can't tackle it without knowing the actual cause. Sometimes the issue isn't an actual problem caused an 'ism,' it's just biology, and it's a complete waste of resources trying to change it.
