One of the truly offensive Spectator articles claimed black people have smaller brains and are less intelligent. It claimed:
Orientals ... have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole.
This is a classic example of partisan slander. Phil has objected to a falsifiable claim without providing evidence. One of two things has happened:
- Phil is aware of the evidence that proves this Spectator article wrong, but is too lazy to provide it
- Phil is not aware of any evidence on this issue, but doesn't view this as a scientific debate
Either way, it presents all that is wrong with political debate. I left a comment, but don't hold up much hope for a rational response...
