Gawker reports on Harvard law student Stephanie Grace, who emailed a bunch of her classmates about “the possibility that that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent.”

Here’s the full paragraph:

I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent. I could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that they are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. African Americans tend to have darker skin. Irish people are more likely to have red hair.

Less intelligent than whom? Presumably not Ms. Grace, because you can’t be all that sharp and think that, you know, you write an email about race and intelligence and it isn’t going to get around. Which, obviously, it has.

Ms. Grace’s closing words?

“Please don’t pull a Larry Summers on me….”
