lol racists have low IQs

IQ suddenly matters. How convenient. How peculiar.

If I were trying to be cute I would say I am simply glad they accept the importance of IQ and that I look forward to having a productive discussion of other IQ gaps.

But truthfully none of the correlations I am aware of are very large here. For instance the correlations here are -.01 and .02 (men and women respectively) http://wmbriggs.com/post/5118/. This is satistically insignificant and definitely smaller than the racial IQ gaps, which sort of defeats the purpose of bringing it up.

This being the famous "bright minds and dark attitudes" study (which also defines ideology rather poorly, self identification surveys find Republicans are actually smarter due to free market types http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289614001081).

And on a national level there is a statistically insignificant correlation again http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019188691630410X

And there's the added qualifier that low IQ people tend to be poorer and therefore more likely to have contact with other groups and the consistently replicated finding that diversity lowers trust, between and within groups. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.00176.x/full

This study in particular noted now social trust changes with neighborhood demographics ie exposure to other groups and how those who leave to homogeneous areas see an increase in trust. Strongly suggestive that the high IQ are merely insulated https://academic.oup.com/esr/article/32/1/54/2404332/Does-Ethnic-Diversity-Have-a-Negative-Effect-on

People who move to heterogeneous areas do see no effect on their attitudes which is interesting however for the effect on the stayers is more important.

Going further, like a lot of Leftist arguments it's an evasion of logic into something that's supposed to stigmatize the opposition as something unsavory or by suggesting a pathology. The so-called argument here is that racism is a dumb belief, as smart people are capable of looking past differences because of their intelligence and value tolerance whereas dumb people do not, often suggested to be the fault to some insecurity. However if anything, dumb people have less insecurity so it's fallen at the first hurdle http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/191/3/234

Similarly dumb people aren't more generally prejudiced which casts doubt on a direct causal relationship and suggests a confounding factor or two http://spsp.org/press-release/cognitive-ability

In fact, the opposite seems to be the case

This (and the aforementioned highfalutin explanation) suggests a counter-argument that anti-racism is merely virtue signaling. One such American study lends credence to this theory by finding that IQ merely affects reported prejudice, high IQ whites are no more likely to support remedial policies for blacks in particular. https://academic.oup.com/socpro/article-abstract/63/1/21/1846173/Are-Smart-People-Less-Racist-Verbal-Ability-Anti?redirectedFrom=fulltext


Moreover verbal reasoning drives the adoption of left leaning views because they are 'socially dominant' it is not hard to understand it as the tool of social climbers

Racism is the most stigmatized prejudice in our society, it would follow that anti-racist moral posturing is a bourgeoisie privilege. http://reason.com/blog/2017/03/01/moral-outrage-is-self-serving


And details of this social dominance is described herein

He does actually use old studies on mixed race populations. Including the Eyferth study
