Hajnal Line

It is a favored concept among the HBD crowd, and I have written about it a few times. Like more than a dozen . It has a new name on Wikipedia, where it is clearly on its way to being phased out as racist.  Not because it is racist, but because some racist people like it.  These would not be the bigots of 1960s newsreels or popular culture, who are presumed not to know any science, literature, art, etc, but "scientific racism," which means demonstrable research that is inconvenient.  

That Ta-Nehisi Coates said laughingly in the Atlantic over a decade ago that it wasn't racist won't last. He'll change, in what appears to be a subtle distinction but is just a capitulation.

The new evidence against the Hajnal Line is that much evidence from Central Europe was not available to Hajnal in the 1960s.  Not that this evidence changes anything, but you know... we know more now. Like what should be called racist and what shouldn't. Geez, can't you stupid people keep up?
