This book was called the Bell Curve, and it was completely, utterly wrong. The science and the conclusions were intentionally misleading, trying to prove a point reached before the research started.
It was not that it was politically incorrect (meaning that it said things that "should not be said in polite society"), but that it was politically incorrect (meaning it reached wrong conclusions for purely political reasons). Read "The Mismeasure of Man" if you want to understand how bad the science was.
