Ian McDonald argues that Geoffrey Sampson's views represent British National Party-style attitudes. Odd then that Sampson says whites tend to have a lower IQ than Asians.

McDonald thinks that anyone who holds that a relationship other than a=b=c may exist between the IQs of different peoples is racist. There's one research area we can save on, then. Let's put it in the file "Questions not to be asked".
