Documentary on channel 4 by the same name, it's available on 4od online.

Did anyone watch it? If so, what did you think?

Horse race or athletics? Both involved in doping scandals

I thought race is a construct?

The most obvious characteristic (skin colour) being a very poor determinant of actual genetic variation/similarity.

For instance, although we like to dress it up the other way and say that 'black people are good at athletics' the truth of the matter is that a Zulu has more in common, genetically speaking, with white Europeans than someone from Ethiopia.

It's a red herring, to mix a metaphor...

"Don't really watch telly.

It's presented by a guy who used to be Tony Blairs equality top dog. But ten years later and he's changed his mind on being hush hush about racial stereotypes. So it's an examination of some of the data behind it. Naturally some are a bit cherry picked...

It's interesting if you ever wanted more evidence that political ideas aren't formulated by examining the facts first!!

"Didn't he examine Turkish gang crime and how it originated from culturally clumping together everyone?."

Haven't quite finished it yet but I respect the gut for admitting he was wrong. He (and new Labour) had some pretty strange ideas on race that aren't backed up by facts. That said, Teresa May was on there making a tit of herself too so by no means a labour exclusive issue.
