A fury erupted when the Washington Post reported last week that Former Heritage Foundation researcher Jason Richwine argued in his Harvard doctoral dissertation (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/05/10/jason-richwine-resigns-from-heritage-foundation/) that Hispanics are genetically predisposed to have lower IQs.
Richwine's dissertation parts from a fallacy. Modern scholars generally agree that "race" is a social construct (http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/05/what-we-mean-when-we-say-race-is-a-social-construct/275872/) and is not biologically determined, therefore it can't determine intelligence.
So instead of getting bogged down in Harvard-hosted debates over which race is the smartest and most deserving of U.S. citizenship, let's take a moment to thank all these awesome Latino inventors who gave the world a bunch of great things!
Take a look at some of the great Latino inventors in the slideshow above.
