Take the author's interpretations and normative suggestions with a grain of salt. Cremieux personally promotes scientific racism (like in an article called "Elites are genetically different" [1]), defends discredited data from eugenicist Richard Lynn [2][3], and co-wrote a paper called "Global Ancestry and Cognitive Ability" with Bryan Pesta [4], Emil Kirkegaard ("Eugenics or Western civilization dies" [5]), and John Fuerst ("all major Jewish organizations... favor the dissolution of their host nations through massive non-White immigration" [6]). Side note: In an article questioning why Zohran Mamdani of Indian descent born in Uganda would mark checkboxes for "Asian" and "Black or African American" among the limited options in a university application [7][8], The New York Times cited Cremieux without even hinting at his past writings, then edited the article to describe Cremieux as "an academic" who "writes often about I.Q. and race". As Marc Channick pointed out [9]: > This is basically like describing a Pizzagate promoter as someone "who writes often about child safety" [1] https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/how-do-elite-groups-form https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/how-do-elite-groups-form [2] https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/national-iqs-are-valid https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/national-iqs-are-valid [3] https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/richard-lynn/ https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/richard-...
