   intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not   
   really"   
      
   "I think having all these women around makes it more fun for the men   
   but they're probably less effective"   
      
   "And there's a difference on the average between blacks and whites on   
   I.Q. tests. I would say the difference is, it's genetic...It's awful,   
   just like it's awful for schizophrenics"   
      
   "I'm not a racist in a conventional way"   
      
   "There is a biochemical link between exposure to sunlight and sexual   
   urges.. that's why you have Latin lovers'
