Race was the issue that exposed the bankruptcy of Watson's genetic determinism. In the 20th century, he made his reputation by staunchly championing the power of DNA. In the 21st, he torpedoed that reputation the same way. That is the great tragedy of James Watson.

In the US, though, he had almost no contact w/ Black people outside the service industry. Black students were horrifically underrepresented in higher ed and nonexistent at places like Harvard, Caltech, and Indiana. Personal contact is a great antiserum for racism. Watson never had it.
