if you accept the following as true:
1. race is a crude indicator of socioeconomic status and IQ
2. some of the variance in IQ is probably caused by genetics
3. within racial groups, there is a large amount of variation in IQ
then accepting the "scientific consensus" STILL doesn't justify discrimination based on race (the definition I use for "racism") there are still black people who are smarter than you and there are still east asians and jews who are dumber than you, using race as an indicator of who is smarter or dumber is not acceptably precise enough.
