It's funny how one can claim to believe in evolution yet call this book racist simply for citeing IQ statistics. Does evolution stop at the neck down?

To rate this as 'racism' is just being closed minded and immature. This book is thought provoking and intelligent.

I read the book the old fashioned way and came away from it well informed. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
