Uh, he can believe whatever he wants on the matter, that doesn't make him a racist, sooooo....

When was it a "solved" finding that poverty is a result of exploitation? Or that culture and/or genetics don't also play a role, perhaps a big one?

That's how science works, by making hypothesis, examining things, and coming to conclusions, popular or not.

And a scientist/thinker is allowed to have different conclusions than others, if they can point to specific theories and numbers that support their thesis.

>Uh Scott also says he believes poverty is not a result of exploitation but culture or genetics soooooo

You sure he didn't say that poverty is part-hereditary rather than what you are saying?

First, most if not all of the left believe it is hereditary - rich people's kids staying richer and vice versa. Second, he definitely never says exploitation or culture do not come into it.

His arguments are always interesting to read, even when I disagree with them -- in that spirit, could you link to the essay where he says this?
