Mr Cofnas is an advocate of so-called ‘scientific racism’ and was fired by Emmanuel College, Cambridge after a 2024 blog post in which he argued black people were, on average, less intelligent than other groups such as whites and Ashkenazi Jews.

    It’s wild was the New York Post and various other publications would just repeat this guy’s talking points and call him a postdoctoral researcher or some s*** like that. Dudes made a great living being racist. Bonus thumbnail

    Why is it that the loudest proponents of the supposed “superiority” of the white race are invariably the most pathetic specimens of it?

    (I know that’s not the point, but it does seem to be a thing. The weaker the chin, the more virulent the racism.)

      Because it’s the only way they can have any superiority. If they didn’t have to do anything and we’re just born into it randomly. If it relies on them doing anything they’re fucked.

    He’s such an obnoxious worm. Such a smug little shit hiding his racism behind the thinnest veneer of equality.
