So you would greenlight a study on the connection between head shape and intelligence? What about other well-trodden racist inquiries? Do you see how if you place such importance on studying racial superiority then you've already introduced bias into the information which will be used to further the existing cultural bias that contributes to violence? This type of censorship doesn't seek to reduce the total amount of information as much as increase the quality and relevance of the studies.
