Steven Hsu Recants

I am disappointed with Prof. Hsu's reaction vis-a-vis his accusers. He writes in his blog:

The trouble began June 10, when MSU’s Graduate Employees Union composed a lengthy Twitter thread denouncing Mr. Hsu as, among other things, “a vocal scientific racist and eugenicist.” The union claimed Mr. Hsu believes “in innate biological differences between human populations, especially regarding intelligence.”

Hsu's reaction:

[ THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY SERIOUS ACCUSATION. IT IS CONTRADICTED BY PUBLIC REMARKS I HAVE MADE IN MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS OVER THE YEARS, AS WELL AS IN BLOG POSTS. ]

and so and so. Having followed Hsu for decades, it is obvious that he knows (and he may be among the best informed) about IQ differences among populations. Why is he denying the obvious? Moreover when he is right and he knows it. 

He is a rich man and could afford losing his position of tenured professor. What is to be afraid of? He could have counterattacked and accuse the Graduate Employees Union to be after his job or for substituting him by a corrupt/corruptible/flexible administrator that would fear and favor the accusers. 

I know, it is easy for me to speak when I am not in his shoes. Pic.: Galileo recanting at the Inquisition. He did not want to be an Heretic and burned. It is vexing that this is happening today and in an American university.
