Response to Jensen's Rejoinder.

In this article, the author responds to the rejoinder of A.R. Jensen to the author's article "The Promotion of Prejudice." Unequal treatment by the news media of opposing opinions on the genetic basis of racial differences is illustrated in the author's paper. Jensen concurs that at his insistence the public was excluded from the University of California symposium, held in an attempt to publicize various viewpoints. Jensen implies that he has referred to him as racist in a letter to the student newspaper. All of Jensen's verbosity cannot conceal the fact that the majority of eminent researchers in the fields of genetics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology do not support his contentions. The intent of the author's paper was not to single out Jensen but to show how various facets of society combined to result in the effective promotion of prejudice, even though none of the interacting agents can be accused of sole responsibility for producing such an effect.
