help)Unfortunately the term has several different meanings. The narrow meaning as refering to historical physical anthropology with its claims of completely discrete races that are superior and inferior could not doubt be classified as pseudoscience. The broader meaning of for example calling The Bell Curve scientific rasism and pseudoscience is not appropriate since that races/ethnic groups in the US differ on average IQ is not disputed and the question of a genetic contribution to this is unresolved. Furthermore, the authors themselves would deny that they are racist in the sense of seeing some races as superior or inferior. Miradre ( talk) 18:06, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
