Well, JP Rushton would say that because his pay check depends on it. He is a long time recipient of grants by the Pioneer Fund. For ten years until his death Rushton was a director of the Pioneer Fund. The founders of the Pioneer Fund all were supporters of Nazism and sought pliable academics to fund to give a veneer of legitimacy to their junk science. Since the Human Genome Project has decoded all the human DNA it is accepted that there is no such thing as race in science. To use race as a science category is as scientifically legitimate as phrenology.
All of Rushton's racist works have been well and truly trounced by others. Your friend needs to do more reading. They clearly haven't done much at all. Rushton is not taken seriously by any one with real understanding of biology and psychology. When challenged in a public discussion with a real scientist who specializes in genetics, David Suzuki, it is clear Rushton is completely out of his depth.
There are several threads here on Wickliffe Draper here
