Well, Gould used the word in his book on the history of biological determinism. Basically, the 70s saw sociobiology, the XYY debate, and Arthur Jensen's "black IQ is genetic and can't be raised" argument; Gould basically was reminding people that we've heard biology-as-destiny arguments before.Originally posted by kenny@Jul 12 2004, 07:44 PM
if someone called me out on saying oriental in real life i would assume its because they hated me and wanted me to feel like shit.
