As I thought........your source: "John Philippe Rushton (born December 3, 1943) is a psychology professor at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, most widely known for his work on intelligence and racial differences, particularly his book Race, Evolution and Behavior. His work in this area is highly controversial, and has been criticized by other researchers and civil rights organisations as being poorly researched[1][2][3] and racist in nature.[4][5] He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American, British, and Canadian Psychological Associations. In 1988, he was made a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He has been head of the Pioneer Fund since 2002." en.wikipedia.org I am quite open to hearing contradictory evidence that would prove that racism is not a natural state, but following a couple of decades of waiting, my opponents usually resort to emotionalism, lewd name-calling, and hateful, personal attacks laced with vile comments, rather than seriously debating the issue. Its quite simple really. People who grow up in an environment where racism is not encouraged, and in fact, discouraged tend not to be racist.
