"a reaction to Watson’s racist remarks in a documentary." --> = "a reaction to Watson’s explanation of scientific evidence that was deemed to be racist by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory" Shouldn't we keep things politically neutral? We shouldn't be stating on the site that James Watson "is a racist" because that is not a fact — it's an opinion.

I am fine with specifying who accused him of being racist, but to characterize it as "an explanation of scientific evidence" is to grossly overstate the basis for his claim.
