A Nobel Prize-winning American scientist who
co-discovered DNA has been stripped of his honorary titles at the
laboratory he once led after repeating racist comments in a documentary.
Watson had previously told Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper
in 2007 that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa”
because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their
intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says not
really.”
The scientist added that
while he hoped everyone was equal, “people who have to deal with black
employees find this is not true.”
Good. Why do people like this still exist? A better question-when will they go extinct?
More people should be held accountable!
I am so glad that they judged him via his words and actions, rather than his contributions. No one gets to be a prejudiced dickwad.
NO ONE.
No more leniency. Leniency makes prejudice last longer. Cracking down gets rid of it quicker.
