Bigotry and genetics

From Mr Phil Rose Sir: I was interested to read R.S.F. Camp- bell's theory regarding the reasons behind Tiger Woods's success on the golf course (Letters, 12 August). I would like to father a wishy-washy, racist child who makes poor excuses for his bigotry by hiding behind genetics and other sciences easily slipped into pseudo-sociology to add apparent credibility.

Perhaps Mr/Ms Campbell would be good enough to let me know if I am right in thinking a British person would be the best choice of partner for me.
