You're arguing against a straw man here. No one here is arguing a higher IQ test score means a person or population is more intelligent.

  Huh? You very clearly (and wrongly) did? I don't get how you get to high-horse this.

    No you just assumed I did because there is a certain element of self-aggrandizing 'anti-racists' that have groomed themelves to believe anytime someone brings up the IQ test score gap based on skin color, that it's being used to present there is an intelligence difference. I wholly reject making that assertion, but anti-racist zealots lock on and have nothing of subsistence to offer beyond their pre-canned 'IQ is not intelligence' speech to the point they have deluded themselves into arguing it against people not even making the claim. It's a nice attempt at smug moral superiority, but a total straw man attack. And that's why nowhere has anyone been able to quote me as saying IQ score indicates intelligence, so like you they just smugly and ignorantly declare I have out of pure ether.

      anti-racist zealots? This might be the first time I see anti-racism portrayed as something bad.
