If you are interested in science and questions about the quality of scientific work, then read this summary of an hair raising study on badscience blog.
It is a highly questionable paper published in an Elsevier Journal on Medical Hypotheses, a journal of some reputation after all.

The rationale of the study is that Down subjects and Oriental population share several specific attitudes and characteristics - weird approach, weird correlations drawn… any kind of political correctness disregarded, which could eventually be fruitful… it is not the case in this case, this is my personal opinion.

Here two examples:
Some attitudes and any daily habitus observed in Down subjects, recall those of the oriental population. Down persons during waiting periods, when they get tired of standing up straight, crouch, squatting down, reminding us of the ‘‘squatting’’ position described by medical semeiotic which helps the venous return. They remain in this position for several minutes and only to rest themselves this
position is the same taken by the Vietnamese, the Thai, the Cambodian, the Chinese, while they are
waiting at a the bus stop, for instance, or while they are chatting.

There is another pose taken by Down subjects while they are sitting on a chair: they sit with their
legs crossed while they are eating, writing, watching TV, as the Oriental peoples do.

One is irritated, isn’t it so? Is it stupidity or racism or both glimmering through the lines?
