He is 100% right that it is more racist to ignore the IQ difference between countries and therefore the factors that create them than it is to pretend all count

He is 100% right that it is more racist to ignore the IQ difference between countries and therefore the factors that create them than it is to pretend all countries have the same average iq. The only way to help people who have been hurt by environmental factors that hurt development is to study those factors and who they effect.
- tptacek 1y agoNo, there are no such thing as IQ maps. They're fraudulent. He's defending fraudulent data. Now you understand the reaction you (and he) are getting on this.
- HDThoreaun 1y agoAs I said, pretending different countries don’t have different average iq is a massive mistake and only leads to people listening to the racists more. You can’t trick people on this by ignoring it.
- tptacek 1y agoYou have no evidence to support that claim. The evidence Alexander mustered for it has been utterly discredited. The claim is itself racist! But that's not the biggest problem with it; the biggest problem is that it's fabricated. There's a reason I'm confident about this, and it's not wokeness or an overconfidence in molecular genetics or whatever. It's that there has never been a global effort to collect per-country representative average IQs. The notion that there is, somewhere, a map relating countries to IQs is a racist fever dream.
