"Boo hoo the cultural bolsheviks are biased against my race realism" is a fringe position indistinguishable from "boo hoo big pharma wants to give autism to everyone using vaccines" or "boo hoo climate change is a Chinese hoax to hurt US". All conspiracy theories, yours is the

The paper lists actual cases where a liberal bias is suspected. In addition, I don't think the scientific community rejects race realism per se rather than racial prejudice.
