>If we are not going to discriminate based on innate differentiators like gender, race, etc, then how can we discriminate based on intelligence, if it is innate? I have to admit I feel a lot of anxiety trying to answer your question in good faith, because this is such a touchy subject. Accurately measuring innate differences, if such things exist, is essential to determining if systemic bias exists and to what extent. If Ashkenazi Jews have a higher than average verbal IQ, maybe it's not surprising that they appear over-represented in top tier verbal IQ jobs (media, etc.). If East Asians have higher than average spacial intelligence, maybe it's not surprising that they appear over-represented in engineering disciplines. Importantly, these statistical differences tell us nothing useful about any specific individual.
