Observation?

Yesterday's New Atheists are now today's new racists? That's something. You seeing it too? Where is the most obvious example?

Well, I wouldn't say that they are 'new racists' - just the same old racism.

For example, Sam Harris apparently welcoming The Bell Curve pseudo-science explaining why 'teh blacks' are not smart.
