The evils of genetics

By now you’ve surely heard of that hate-mongering Nobel prize winner. Let’s see.. demented genius, hates a specific demographic, and is fucking scary looking. This man is clearly a super-villain.

Of course nothing says his statements are not true. In fact, to say there cannot be genetic differences in the way different races’ brains have developed is more ignorant than to dismiss the possibility outright as society would have you do. Unfortunately, it’s just not a popular thing to say, to the point that even evil geniuses will retract their bold proclamations. Hell, making a statement along the lines of “african-americans are better athletes”, as suggested by a former college football coach1 resulted in his being universally lambasted for his racial insensitivity. Seriously.

Among the top 50 rushers in the NFL and college football, I could find one white guy in each league. It’s not like there’s some cultural thing at play here, where we could say all the really fast white guys are doing something else like, say, log driving.

I also noticed a trend within these photos of Olympic gold-medal winning 4×100 relay teams.

    Now, I’m not advocating racial profiling. Repeat: racial profiling = bad. What I am saying is that I am very much against the idea of political correctness stifling science. You cannot fucking tell me water’s boiling point is not 100ÂșC, in much the same way that you could not make the case that genetics have robbed me of the ability to grow an afro like that freaky looking dude on America’s Next Top Model. And certainly not because it offends your precious sensibilities. It’s science, motherfucker. Is it possible that, in addition to having different bone structure, different hair, different skin pigmentation, different muscle development, different eye color and the ability to dance like a machine that.. dances.. really well.. Is it possible that in addition to those things, Michael Vick’s brain may be different than my own? Wait, is it still okay to suggest that African-Americans are genetically predisposed to having darker skin than Bill O’Reilly and his clan of hellspawn? Is it insensitive to suggest that the Japanese, as a race, are not well suited to playing basketball? You know, because they’re short; a full 5 inches shorter than Americans.

    I realize there would be some seriously negative cultural/social ramifications that would accompany a science-backed proclamation that “in general, race X are better/worse than caucasians at mental task Y”. And that is certainly one possible path towards that dystopian future we’ve all read about in which a person’s entire life is pre-determined based on their genes. But unlike, say, cloning or genetic modification, we’re not trying to mess with the way God intended it to be, so that should be ok, right? Besides, would blacks really complain if they were forced to be either running backs, basketball players or best-selling hip-hop artists while white people without the last name “Manning” end up as farmers or Wal-Mart greeters? I think not.

    1 Fisher DeBerry, ex-head coach of the Air Force Academy, came under fire for the following:

    He said Air Force needed to recruit faster players. “We were looking at things, like you don’t see many minority athletes in our program,” DeBerry told the paper.

    The next day, during a question-and-answer session at his weekly luncheon, the coach didn’t hesitate to elaborate.

    “It just seems to be that way, that Afro-American kids can run very, very well. That doesn’t mean that Caucasian kids and other descents can’t run, but it’s very obvious to me they run extremely well,” DeBerry said.

    Days after the comments, DeBerry was reprimanded by Lt. Gen. John F. Regni, superintendent of the academy, but was not fired.
