Is telling the truth about genetics and I.Q racist?

busterwasmycat say: Not if the truth is complete and accurate. the problem is a "truth" that is incomplete and biased in its interpretation and results in a negative attribution to a class of people based on ancestry. You can say "blacks have lower IQ scores than whites", and it could be factual although perhaps biased depending on how you define those terms black and white (the very declaration that there are two such different and distinct categories is not demonstrable as a fact). To conclude from that evident and observable statistical correlation to declare that blacks are inferior is a false judgement. The bias, the racism lies in the interpretation. In effect, it is not speaking the truth to infer a conclusion based on an observation. It is an interpretation, and it becomes openly racist to claim genetics as the cause when there is ample other evidence which explains the original observation as due to factors other then genetics. It then becomes a falsehood even if based on a real observation.

JazSinc say: I haven't seen a "controlled study" that took into account the possible causes of the Flynn Effect. I rather suspect that we don't actually know the truth. Please ask again after measles is completely extinct. See the link.

The genetic truth is that all humans are the same race

Bill say: That depends on what you think "the truth" is. Racism is racism even if you try to justify it with pseudoscience.

Henry say: No.

say: It is when you think IQ comes by virtue of being White despite the fact you do nothing to show that you in fact have a high IQ and can only point to others accomplishments as if they are your own.
