A friend just linked me a 'scientific' article by this clown where he claimed that dropping atom bombs over the Middle East would 'eliminate the problem of muslim terrorists'. Reading up on the guy and apparently he's been heavily involved in trying to give scientific justifications for sexist and racist stereotypes from the Jim Crow era, and has written a book called "Are all women essentially prostitutes?" as well. He's beginning to sound like your average crack conservative Japanese citizen but what I'm surprised about is that the fucking article about murdering millions of people under the claim that 'everyone from there is a terrorist' was open to air at all.

Does anyone else know of this guy? Has he made any other hilarious contributions to science such as the one outlined above?

I was hoping for something a little more meaty, but thanks.

I'm also fairly wary of most Wikipedia articles to do with people like this, because the level of vandalism is much higher than in other Wikipedia sections, thanks to some dedicated white nazis (I'm surprised the history of phrenology section has not been locked by staff, what with the number of blatantly biased stubs and faux-citations that go on there. It's an absolute atrocity).
