    *An international network of “race science” activists seeking to influence public debate with discredited ideas on race and eugenics has been operating with secret funding from a multimillionaire US tech entrepreneur.*

    *Undercover filming has revealed the existence of the organisation, formed two years ago as the Human Diversity Foundation. Its members have used podcasts, videos, an online magazine and research papers to seed “dangerous ideology” about the supposed genetic superiority of certain ethnic groups.*

  2. Anyone want to tldr, not clicking on bait. Especially the claimed extremest?

    Why would they do this? White people are racists for free. No encouragement required.

  4. Racists have been searching for a way to validate their racism for probably centuries at this point. No one likes being called a racist because it implies that you’re a bad person and most people, even racists, don’t consider themselves to be bad people. So they need some scientific basis that substantiates their racist views and they haven’t been able to find one no matter how hard they’ve looked, and boy have they looked.

  5. None of this is even remotely dangerous until it’s adopted by the government. The theory of cockroach antennae mutating into legs will easily be used by these guys and gals to kill and enslave millions of people.

  6. Just assumed this was Elon, although he hasn’t exactly been secretive about supporting race science.
