If you take the Catholic, Jewish or White basketball comments out of context it can sound bad, but why not look at the context? It does not look any better in context. Right after saying :I think it's important to try to think systematically and clinically about the reasons for underrepresentation. In the very next paragraph (with no transition from Catholic, Jewish, and white basketball comments), he outlines three hypothesis: <<<One is what I would call the-I'll explain each of these in a few moments and comment on how important I think they are- the first is what I call the high-powered job hypothesis. The second is what I would call different availability of aptitude at the high end, and the third is what I would call different socialization and patterns of discrimination in a search. And in my own view, their importance probably ranks in exactly the order that I just described. >>> He has some explaining to do. What did the Catholic, Jewish, and white basketball comments have to do with women and innate differences? For a lot of us, these comments follow a lot of assumtpions. They connect a lot of dots. But, we could be wrong. That is why we need an explanation.
