There’s isn’t anything controversial with admitting that race is correlated with IQ.
The controversy is from folks trying to take that correlation, reframe it as causation, and then attribute it to genetic factors.
There are tons of non-genetic factors that can affect IQ and are correlated with race: exposure to pollution, economic situation, nutrition, etc.
Then there is the test itself. I’m not sure how localization happens, but it’s a pretty hard problem that lends itself to biases.
