This entry on VDARE led me to this interesting blog which led me to another which led me to this NPR discussion on race and IQ a few years back following James Watson's statement that raised a ruckus. BTW, Watson's autobiography is excellent. One of his pieces of advice I follow by inclination: Don't play golf.
Think about all the wasted time. But I do take lots of walks with my dogs.
All I got to say is that the concept I was taught at university that sex, er, "gender" is "socially constructed" and that race is merely skin deep is a load of hogwash. Having and raising a daughter has disabused me of the former; learning that forensics experts can identify race and sex and (in some cases) age of deceased going solely on skeletons is eye-opening to say the least.
This quote is pertinent, which I first came across reading Lawrence Auster's magnificent booklet, The Path to National Suicide:

The dream of universal brotherhood, because it rests on the sentimental fiction that men and women are all the same, cannot survive the discovery that they differ.
