A Dawkins Gaffe on Eugenics?

I don’t know the context here and I don’t think I’ll look it up, but questions like this are actually very interesting forays into topics like disgust and taboo. The tweet you posted is not inappropriate in any way that I can see. If your point is that one might sense that this isn’t the best time, after blundering through comments about eugenics, then I agree, but then again you just posted a link to creation.com, which to some (like me) is far kookier than cultured human steak.

Richard Dawkins bad, okay? Bad!

Yep, my point exactly. Both the timing and venue are not the best choices.

I don’t think anything he said was egregiously wrong in either tweet - just not the best choices of venue, wording, and timing.
