My thoughts on the whole race/IQ debate: it's more or less a perma-banned topic on most forums where constructive debate takes place, and your comment is an excellent example of why.
I asked his defenders if they support his views on race science, and brought up the possibility that people dislike him for reasons other than the 2017 event.
Your position is that it’s impolite to bring up a writer’s body of work because… why?
Edit: It’s kind of hard not to interpret your post as “I believe in race science and it makes me uncomfortable to be asked a question like that so plainly, so I will fall back on calling you rude.”
No, just that one topic. It has this uncanny ability to produce unconstructive discussions where people talk past each other and accuse each other of all manner of things they didn't say...
Also, I don’t think “the whole race/IQ debate” is a real thing that people engage in for germane reasons, so you didn’t do a stellar job not answering the question :)
