Human biodiversity, a PC term to rebrand racism. Brought to you by the snowflakes that rebranded nazis and neoconfederates as the "alt-right".
Some discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/BadSocialScience/comments/3cdz2z/rcoontowns_human_biodiversity_resource/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BadSocialScience/comments/3cdz2z/rc...
Yep, that HBD-loving subreddit was actually called /r/coontown and was actually worse than you might guess, if possible.
Other commenters in this thread seem to miss it. Says more about them than about reddit, which is much better than it used to be. If anyone misses the coontown crowd they can easily catch up with them at "free speech" havens like voat and gab, which are both worse than most people would guess.

- DuskStar 6y agoIs HBD verboten because it's factually wrong, or because even if it's right it's repugnant to talk about such things? If you believe it's factually wrong, is that belief falsifiable? Is there some sort of study or experiment that could convince you otherwise? I'm not talking "plausible" or "morally correct" experiment here - if it would take blinding a few hundred infants of different races and raising them without non-automated human contact and comparing outcomes, that's fine - but it would be nice to know what level of evidence you'd be looking for. But hey, I'm just some guy who's looking forward to Embryo Selection [0], which kind of depends on some part of intelligence variance being genetic, and who thinks Blank Slate/Tabula Rasa is pretty dead [1]. Maybe I'm wrong, but from that perspective your BadSocialScience link is pretty questionable. 0: https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture
