"Race realism" is racism wrapped in intellectualism. Or to be more specific, racialism.

Different racial groups differ in average intelligence and there is strong evidence that this is caused by genetic factors:

  1. Races differ in brain size which is correlated with IQ: https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2021/02/13/race-iq-and-brain-size/
  2. Races differ in IQ related genes: https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2019/08/23/population-differences-in-iq-related-genes/
  3. European Admixture is correlated with IQ: https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2019/08/25/racial-ancestry-and-iq/
  4. No environmental causes can explain the gap: https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2020/09/30/on-proposed-environmental-causes-of-the-american-black-white-iq-gap/
  5. Experts think the gap is partially genetic: https://ideasanddata.wordpress.com/2019/08/22/expert-surveys-on-race-and-iq/

I'm not disputing average intelligence, nor statistics. I'm disputing the premise of race realism that you can judge an individual by their race.

Race is real.

Don't pretend that the argument is whether or not race exists. That's as leftist as saying "Climate Change" is about whether the climate changes, or if BLM is about black lives.

Race is real, and it matters.

What is it with the straw man? Are there many people running around saying race isn't real?

I mean...forensics is a well established field. One can pretty accurately approximate race through skeletal remains. You just can't extrapolate that Dr. Ben Carson isn't a brilliant neurosurgeon because he's black.
