2. some of the variance in IQ is probably caused by genetics

The out of Africa theory of evolution predicts the closer you go to the source of where humans diverged from lower life forms, the more primitive and less intelligent the people would be. They stuck around and interbred longer.

You always have these crazy leftists who don't disagree with the out of Africa theory, yet disagree with all of it's obvious 1+1 conclusions.

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.

Read my earlier post, it doesn't matter what outlier individuals score, a civilization is composed of the bell curve. It takes the shape of the average or lowest common denominator.
