Harvard Law Student: ‘African Americans Are, On Average, Genetically Predisposed To Be Less Intelligent’

A third-year Harvard Law Student has landed himself in hot water after an email discussing his beliefs on genetic predisposition to intelligence was released to the media.

Here’s an excerpt:

I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent. I could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that they are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. African Americans tend to have darker skin. Irish people are more likely to have red hair.

The email continues:

Everyone wants someone to take 100 white infants and 100 African American ones and raise them in Disney utopia and prove once and for all that we are all equal on every dimension, or at least the really important ones like intelligence. I am merely not 100% convinced that this is the case.
