About this listen

Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions. Pondering the continuing influence of racist research and thought, despite all evidence to the contrary, Robert Wald Sussman explains why - when it comes to race - too many people still mistake bigotry for science.

This is an old idea of "colour blindnes", which is rejected by the left, and increased race awernes is promoted in a form of diversity. I hope my grandchildren will not be judged by the colour of their skin.
