Pseudoscientist

lynn is an outright pseudo-scientist and crank. will add lots of stuff on his junk racialist science if i get the time.Aeschylus (talk) 22:34, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Antisemitism

May I add that it would probably not be appropriate to classify him as a 'white supremacist' since white supremacists are usually very anti-Semitic, yet he wrote a book called "The Chosen People: A Study of Jewish Intelligence and Achievement" where he argued that Jews are genetically smarter and thus have achieved more throughout history. I think he's as much (or arguably more) a philo-Semite or a Jewish supremacist as a white supremacist. 98.7.39.95 (talk) 18:31, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

This exact talking point is used to defend hereditarianist's with ties to white supremacists all the time, it's almost a meme. It's not actually that uncommon to be consistent with their views on IQ to suggest that Jewish people have a genetic advantage in terms of ""intelligence"". It's often used as the premise to support antisemitic conspiracy theories in regards to how the "Jews" came to control everything. This does not negate a belief in the comparative racial superiority that racists claim white people have over other races. The man published racist pseudoscience that placed white people in a hierarchy over people of color. Picking hairs between a white racist and a white supremacist to me is not a worth while discussion to have, especially when they are practically equivalent. - Only Sort of Dumb (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
