Adam Rutherford says no to racist $1K


Adam Rutherford, a long-time critic of race pseudoscience, is a big fan of the excellent HOPE Not Hate report Race Science Inc.

He wrote an article for the Guardian about it: Propelled by tech money, the menace of race science is back – and it’s just as nonsensical as ever.

So it was absolutely flabbergasting to read in the Race Science Inc. article that the racists asked Rutherford to write for them:

Frost added that he was using these high-profile guests as a “shield” to avoid scrutiny, giving the semblance of a respectable publication. In March 2023, he approached Adam Rutherford, the UCL geneticist, and offered him $1,000 for a regular column on Aporia. Rutherford, who has published extensively against scientific racism, criticising the likes of Kirkegaard and Dutton, rejected the offer.


Few Americans know who Adam Rutherford is, but he is huge in England

It's hysterical that Aporia thought they could get Rutherford to destroy his entire career for them, and to add insult, for a measly $1000.
