And yet their biggest problem with him was ethnicity? Heh.

There's a great work written by a medical anthropologist on the absurdity of racial categories (not to mention overt racism...) called The Culture of Intolerance. It's a response to "The Bell Curve" that claims lower test performance among various groups in fact means that they're mentally inferior as a race. The disturbing thing is that "The Bell Curve" was released in like 1994. However, the very title will make them resent it and you if you gave it to them as a gift lol.
