The kind of statement that hangs in the air, thick with the weight of unsavory history. The typical response is to recoil, to dismiss it as a crude stereotype and nothing more. But what if, instead of dismissing it, we dared to dissect it? What if we could flip this ugly statement from a tool of racial prejudice into a fruitful scientific question?
