Do you remember this picture from the high school biology textbook, James Watson and Crick?
Watson and Crick
The two created the DNA double helix structure, unveiled the DNA genetic code, when Watson was only 22 years old, can be described as a teenager, and later Watson won the Nobel Prize at the age of 34, it can be said that Watson made a significant contribution to human genetics.
However, such a great scientist was almost discredited in his later years. The reason is that Watson is caught up in a storm of racial discrimination, and James Watson has repeatedly made remarks about black people with inherently lower IQs than whites, saying that for this reason, he is pessimistic about the development of black Africa. Watson quickly paid the price for his remarks, firing him from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the United States, where he worked, and taking back many of his honorary titles. But Watson stuck to his point of view and refused to apologize for his remarks, and James Watson was almost discredited for his inappropriate remarks.
Late Watson
What is less well known is that in addition to his remarks about the low IQ of blacks, Watson also commented on Chinese and other ethnic groups. Watson said Chinese are smart, but lack creativity because Chinese tend to go back and compromise in many cases.
Watson also commented on Jews, saying that Jews are intelligent, but Watson said that anti-Semitism was reasonable to some extent. This view made Pony stunned, in today's Jewish control of the United States, Watson actually dared to make such a statement about the Jews, the old man's courage is commendable.
Watson is not polite in his evaluation of Indians, and Watson believes that India's development prospects are not optimistic, because Indians will only bow their knees.
Many Chinese netizens believe that Watson is full of racial prejudice against Chinese and is a white supremacist. However, it is worth mentioning that Watson has visited China four times for academic exchanges, and the Chinese scholars who contacted Watson believe that Watson is not a racist, and Watson has also helped China to introduce talents.
Watson visits China
Pony believes that Westerners should think that they are the best, we don't need to care about Watson's evaluation of Chinese, only to do better is the best response.
