RACIST  GENETICISTS  ON  CHANNEL 4?

There is a series of three programmes coming up on Channel 4 soon -

19th/26th November and 3rd December called The Difference.

It is looking at the genetic difference between people - between different races - around the world. It is going to represent (according to the researcher who called me) a very pro genetic deterministic world view - and is giving plenty of space to the racist researchers who still push their bell-curve hypothesis.

If it is really bad - then maybe it would be worth considering approaching the right of reply programme?
