So I was very curious about where all this narrative stemmed from as I kept seeing far right posts comparing IQ and different races.
Saw this video by Shawn (2 hour+ long) and he broke it down very well.
Basically, it’s just bad studies where they test both segregated white schools and also black schools (which were under funded and had average lower income levels for parents), then use the result as the smoking gun.
It essentially comes down to:
Having a head start in life passes down the generation, so high income groups (and races over represented there) will always have a higher average IQ cause by the nature of IQ tests being just academic tests.

Cool. Anyway Elon Musk is a racist
Yeah, thats rather evident, what’s unknown is how much was his original views and how much is it because he radicalized himself over the years?
Probably mostly original, given apartheid and all that.
