You raise a good point . . . articles on either side of the issue almost always have passionate activists as authors rather than dispassionate scientists.
People who believe in the equality of human beings typically believe in it strongly enough that they find it difficult to objectively analyze putative evidence to the contrary -- they're damn stubborn. Meanwhile, people who are racial supremacists of any kind in this day and age have self-selected themselves as pretty headstrong, stubborn individuals themselves.
- politrix 19y agoIt is often the racists who portray themselves as "dispassionate scientists", as if they have no agenda. And it is also the same people who know very little about the subject. To know anything, you have to by minimum have a passion for that knowledge. Anyone trying to hide that is putting up a facade.
