I have this arch nemesis who loved to go on and on about how intelligence was different and genetically linked to one's "racial" group. He loved to use the Bell Curve theory to explain why people were the way they were. Although he had a 4.0 in college and was smart, he was a total jerk. I had the same grades too but I did not go around rubbing it in people's faces.
Long story short, I dared him to get a genetics test ---you know that test that tells you your genetic percentages like if you are 100% Anglo, African, East asian, Indo European, etc. Well he got his test back and found out that he was half West African, and a quarter Indo-European and like a quarter Anglo. He was smashed because he thought that he was 100% Scottish and he looked down on EVERYONE, If someone of another person from an ethnic group did a great job on something academic, athletic, or artistic he would just totally dismiss it. Now he is coming around me for advice and is looking sad.
