I dunno; my doctor says my dark skin correlates with a lower risk of
melanoma, but that my dyplastic mole correlates with a higher risk.
Maybe that means my risk profile evens out.

No.  The *question* asked was why was Dr. Watson immediately assumed
to be racist because he said there was data suggesting that Africans
(no skin color mentioned) were less intelligent than Europeans.

The only really good response to THAT question was by someone who
called me Hitler, but then pointed out that Dr. Watson does have a
controversial history of alleged bigotry.

That doesn't mean his statement is false, but it casts doubt on any
data he says he saw.

And before some points out that he, later on, said there was no data I
would point out that if the reaction he got was anything like the
reaction here, then I wouldn't blame him for "mis-remembering" the
data.
