Which is more likely?: >A less-intelligent population has conspired to control the activities of an institution in which they are famously underrepresented (even when considering their status as a numerical minority). >Investigations have been funded and actually taken place in the past, with the results being inconclusive, or unremarkable, or having falsified the hypothesis. >Suggesting such investigations reflects a misunderstanding of the capabilities of genetic studies as they currently exist. They will not be undertaken because they're fundamentally incapable of answering the question.
- notsosec 3y agoThis is a false dichotomy. The taboos about races / genetics are largely held and enforced by white people, not (just) by minorities.

Occam's Razor would say that they've come to this conclusion because they've found it to align most neatly with reality.
