“The burden of proof is on him to make a case for this ‘exciting’ scientific revolution (whose discoveries just happen to regurgitate some of humanity’s most pernicious, wearying and stubborn stereotypes). But proof is not Murray’s concern.” @parul_sehgal https://t.co/NtLi83pNfm

Unfortunately, judging from a lot of the replies to this and others, the audience that really wants to believe that their racism is deserved and rational is massive. The bullshit outrage about the book being reviewed by non-scientists is just…such an amazing amount of projection and yet it’s clear that a vast amount of people really want codified, legal racism based on shit like this.
