07/30/2009: "Famous Swedish writer connected to racial biology"

The classic Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf had connections with the ideology of racial biology according to a new article that has stirred up a debate.

In the last years several famous Swedes, for example Ingemar Bergman and Ingvar Kamprad, have admitted that they had leanings towards racial biologist ideology in their youth.

This is rather sensitive in the today´s media-Sweden with a self-image of a liberal and tolerant country. Now another celebrity, Selma Lagerlöf is accused of leanings towards race biology in her youth.

[ Taking this attitude towards race was the norm and very conformist at the time. Basically our politically correct society may as well condemn almost anyone for their views from a few decades ago and before. Nowadays common sense is very controversial. ]

The left liberal claims that race is a social construct.
Not so.
Race is a biological reality which has social
implications.These are found in differences of average ability in both intellectual physical abilities among the races.
