The problem is that there isn't one "Sapir-Whorf hypothesis". There's a spectrum of such hypotheses, running the gamut from the mild "language has an affect on how we think" up to the extreme "if your language uses the same word for blue and green then you'll be blue/green colorblind".<p>The extreme forms have been rather thoroughly debunked at this point. The milder forms verge on tautologies.
