"Differences in genetic ancestry that happen to correlate to many of today’s racial constructs are real." Reich interview, Podcast. Verbatim.
So, then, how is what he claims above so different from that of Watson or Wade (Which I haven't read.)?
The fact that their claims are based on bare prejudice, call them also racial social constructs, as he does, or whatever, rather than on his hard science, is not conclusive.
Some things are true, it seems, when Reich says them, even though Watson or Wade say them too.
It begins to sound suspiciously like Simon Says racist racial constructs, or Simon Says real racial differences.
When Wade says what Reich also says, in paragraph two above, it "has no merit"....Who We Are, p. 261
If one believes in real racial differences corresponding to social constructs, as Reich does, how then are you not a racist, that is one who believes in racial differences? Don't tell me he doesn't believe in them.
Reich talks about genome bloggers. In this area I am that.
