[Air-L] racist comments by James Watson?

['Gail Taylor]

Here's a link to a U.S. Census Bureau web site that calls attention to reasons why researchers might be hesitant to use race as a research category. Researchers use these designations to conduct research. At the same time, interpretations of race are institutionalized. Choosing to use these designations is a way that researchers promote institutionalized views of people, as individual members of a larger society.
