Not long ago I was at a conference of about 200 people. It was the
kind of conference Extropians would be comfortable at.
Inadvertently it comprised an example of what Watson got attacked
for. One ethnic classification was considerably over represented
compared to their numbers in the population and another
classification was under represented, consisting of only a single
individual. That's about what you would expect from a selection
process that is blind on this axis, but highly discriminatory on
another axis.
Sorry to be vague about the conference and details.

PS. There is an addendum apologizing for referencing Philip Rushton.
