Reply #150: You know Richard Lynn's history? [View All]

He's cited favourably in the infamous The Bell Curve. One quote from wikipedia:

Lynn's psychometric studies were cited in the 1994 book The Bell Curve and were criticized as part of the controversy surrounding that book. His article, "Skin color and intelligence in African Americans," 2002 Population and Environment, concludes that lightness of skin color in African-Americans is positively correlated with IQ, which he claims derives from the higher proportion of Caucasian admixture.

He's also written in favour of eugenics. As a progressive, I'd be very wary of this guy's output.
