Maybe he didn't realize how widely his comments would be heard.
Maybe it's his advancing age? Who knows, but they repeated some of
his earlier public statements which were also controversial, to say the
least. Like these,,,,,


"Watson had made controversial remarks in the past. In 1997, Britain's Sunday Telegraph quoted Watson as saying that if a gene for homosexuality were isolated, women who find that their unborn child has the gene should be allowed to have an abortion.

During a lecture tour in 2000, he suggested there might be links between skin color and sexual prowess, and between a person's weight and their level of ambition.

And in a British TV documentary that aired in 2003, Watson suggested that stupidity was a genetic disease that should be treated."
