>> I think a lot of people didn't like "The Bell Curve" because it seemed to give a rationality to discrimination.

Well, really just reported the facts in a rational way. The vast majority of people have no idea the meaning of the "bell curve". The don't relate it to numbers; it is just a picture.

It definitely created some outrage. It is a good example of people selectively avoiding scientific conclusions they disagree with.

used the whole Super Race thing to kill like 6 million people just because of who they were

They were basically the 1% er's at the time. The way lefties talk about our 1% er's is probably how it all began back then. Ironically most of our 1% er's are lefties too.
