==Mainstream interviews==
Thompson has not mentioned any of his extreme views on race and sex in mainstream interviews:
==Social media==
He has been condemned for various sexist and racist posts on Twitter and elsewhere. Often these take the form of just asking questions, but sometimes it goes beyond that in offensiveness:
*"Men’s brains abigger than women’s, even when controlled for bigger body size, should have higher intelligence, though evidence conflicting" (His enormous brain doesn't stop him messing up tweets though.) 
*"The lower intelligence group orients Left bc it is populated disproportionately by Leftist beneficiaries (economic and racial minorities)" (This is not merely borderline-incoherent but scientifically nonsense; the relationship between politics and intelligence is contested but there's certainly some evidence that conservatives are stupider, and it's an issue that could be approached through science, which is what Thompson is supposed to be doing, not through bullshit proof-by-assertion.Intelligence And Politics Have a Complex Relationship, Scott A McGreal, Psychology Today)
