Low IQ is correlated with being racist, though that may just be that having a low IQ means you're not smart enough to keep your mouth shut about being racist.

- palmfacehn 2y agoIQ discussions remind me of the obese discussing the diet trends. Those most concerned with dieting may not be the healthiest. However, they are healthy by the metrics of their diet program. Similarly, one can study for IQ tests, but it leaves the question: If they are satisfied with their intellectual capacity relative to the general population, why is it necessary?

- palmfacehn 2y agoYes, they were compulsory. I'm also aware of individuals who are studying for them to improve their score.
- Diti 2y agoI’d be interested in reading primary sources showing the correlation between low IQ scores and being racist. Do you have any? All I’ve ever seen is that the overall education level of right-wing voters is lower than that of left-wing voters, but there’s no correlation related to intelligence (it probably just means that the lower-educated people live in lesser-than-kind neighborhoods).
