Leading race “scientist” dies in Canada - Salon.com
I did not even know about this guy, but now that I do, good riddance. And kudos to David Suzuki for tearing the guy a new asshole in ‘89.
Saying that Rushton’s ideas were “monstrous” and “simply do not qualify as science,” David Suzuki, an actual geneticist, debated Rushton on the Western Ontario campus in 1989 before 2,000 students and more than 100 reporters and television crews. Security was tight inside and out of the auditorium.
“I did not want to be here,” Suzuki told the audience. “I do not believe that we should dignify this man and his ideas in public debate.” A few minutes later, he added, “There will always be Rushtons in the world. We must be prepared to root them out.”
“his theories about the correlation between genital size and intelligence”
omg, that sentence alone…
I think the lesson here, though, is that a lot of people still love on this guy and think he’s speaking the hard truths, and he was never out of a job
