Pseudointellectual garbage dressed up in the language of, and imitating the form of, science.

Bad premises, sloppy logic, unrestrained speculation do not constitute "science".

The Salon article is a good, albeit short, read, marred only by the clumsy phrase "racial science’s coldhearted facts." These were "alternate facts", long before that phrase was created.
