A third-year law student at Harvard named Stephanie Grace emailed another student a few months ago; the note has spread far beyond them in the last few days. To summarize, Grace is uncertain whether the average black American is genetically predisposed to be less intelligent than the average American, but she suspects that culture is a bigger factor in explaining the disparity of success among races and thinks one should be cautious about jumping to a conclusion just because the conclusion is attractive. From what I've seen, this note has been largely characterized by its opening (or at least the opening of the excerpt I've seen), which statesI absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent.According to those fanning the flames of this controversy, this agnosticism is racist. |
