Dr. James Thompson's Richwine / rich wine challenge

Four months ago, James Thompson made a challenge to the Ana Marie Cox-types hounding Jason Richwine out of work:
“So here is the challenge: a bottle of fine French wine sent to the first person who can show that Hispanic/Latino American intelligence and scholastic ability is on the same level as European American intelligence and scholastic ability. Data please.”

So far, the data has not been forthcoming.

The Rube Goldberg ish logic underlying the conventional wisdom is, roughly, that

A) If it became socially acceptable to admit in public that blacks might have on average genetic advantages in jumping and sprinting; then

B) It might become acceptable to admit that maybe blacks have lower average IQs for genetic reasons; which would then

C) Let the gentiles find out that Jews might higher average IQs for genetic reasons; thus,

D) The goyim will come for us with their torches and pitchforks; and therefore,

E) We must just bury the whole topic in mindless kitsch to prevent A from ever happening.

"Mark Zuckerberg immigration group defends Paul Ryan"

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/mark-zuckerberg-paul-ryan-immigration-95361.html

"The arm of the Mark Zuckerberg-backed immigration reform group that focuses on conservatives is going on air in Milwaukee with a pro-reform spot defending Rep. Paul Ryan, POLITICO has learned.

Americans for a Conservative Direction bought roughly $350,000 worth of TV time targeted toward Ryan’s district, a source tracking the air wars said.

That’s almost double what the anti-immigration Federation for American Immigration Reform is spending on 30-second spots accusing Ryan of backing “amnesty.”"

Typical. If you're a billionaire, you'll find a billionaire excuse to scream 'racism'. So, she flies all the way to Switzerland and meets a woman who didn't know Oprah and that Oprah is loaded with cash... and that is Jim Crow in Europe.
It's like Obama has his own precious stories about 'encounters with racism'.

You can give these people all the money and power in the world, and they will still see everything in terms of 'racism', and Jews are no different. Notice Jewish power? That is the new Nazism.

The notion that blacks will stop bitching about 'racism' if we shower them with money, praise, and power is so much BS. They'll just find fancy/haute excuses to scream 'racism'.

There are so many people with serious problems and troubles in US and other parts of the world, but the great news of the day is some lady in Switzerland thought Oprah didn't have enough cash to buy a super-expensive purse.

People like Obama and Oprah got so far in life thanks to the money, support, connections, and etc, etc. of white people, but they never mention all the favors done them by whites. They ignore all that--and take it for granted, as if they are naturally owed everything from everyone around the world--and bitch and whine about incidents of 'racism'. So, what was the great trauma Obama supposedly suffered from 'white racism'? His white grandma was afraid of an aggressive black panhandler and some whites might have locked their cars long ago when he was doped high on drugs and looking like a fool.

James Thompson might as well drink that bottle of fine French wine before it turns into skunky vinegar. That prize will never be claimed.

Ana Marie Cox didn't hound anyone out of their work. She was late to the demagogic shoutfest and it was all essentially over.

Her primary role is to act as the support troops. Whatever the higher ups say, she parrots like a good dog. She just parrots.

The people who actually hounded him were newspaper editors, etc.

Maybe, but just as he has been sacrificed on the alter of PC, its nice to see her held to account.

Oprah's gotten hip to the micro-aggression schtick.

It's not easy to find empirical data that supports leftist policies.

Steve, perhaps you've already done this, but it would be cool if you had a "wall of stupidity" that keeps a list of the blatantly dumb things MSM journalists have said about IQ. With their mag or paper prominently identified. (Which MSM outlet collects the most dumbness? That sounds like something the MSM might report on; they don't mind eating their own. You could keep stats like in baseball.)

Of course, this might be an overwhelming project, but perhaps it could be built incrementally with reader's help. Who is ahead for the season?
