"Once we start talking about predicting racial background from genetics, it's not much of a leap to talking about how people perform based on their DNA — why they committed that rape or stole that car or scored higher on that IQ test," says Troy Duster, former president of the American Sociological Association.

Yes? And? We need this information to make informed decisions. It is reality. We cannot close our eyes and turn away from it, because it won't go away. There are genetic differences between races, and they have massive real-world consequences.

2007-12-20 | A New DNA Test Can ID a Suspect's Race, But Police Won't Touch It | WIRED

'Since the Baton Rouge case, DNAWitness has been used nationally in nearly 200 criminal investigations. ', "Frudakis' test is called DNAWitness."

'Based on an FBI profile and an eyewitness report, they upended southern Louisiana looking for a white man who drives a white pickup, collecting DNA from more than 1,000 Caucasian males. '

'* Illustration: Wilson Hsu * In the summer of 2002, the FBI, the Baton Rouge Police Department, and several other agencies began a massive search for a serial killer suspected of murdering three women. '

'But by looking at scores of markers, Frudakis says he can predict ancestry with a tiny margin of error. '
