excuse your hatred of various other groups

Sometimes it's useful to critique men by race and ethnicity. That's all that's going on there. That's not racist.

Internalized racism is a thing.

Girl, I'm cool. Facts don't bother me.

You're saying we women are too damn stupid to delve into understanding the world around us.

No, I'm not. I'm just saying white men are intellectually gifted. This is a fact: IQ by race and IQ by gender. I'm not pulling it out of thin air. Even with this major push for diversity, white men still dominate every intellectual industry. These results speak for themselves.

It doesn't mean anything about our individual capabilities. These are just averages.

Neo-nazis write extensively about how Jews are dangerous and despicable because they think Jews have a higher native intelligence than standard white people.

That kind of proves my point even more. Men tend to project their own negative traits onto others. Men obsessed with rapist tend to rape. Men obsessed with pedos tend to be pedos. Likewise, white men are clearly aware that their investment into developing their mental capabilities has given them a unique advantage above all other groups of people and so are threatened by those who develop equally or superior mental capabilities.

IQ is totally biased towards certain levels and kinds of education. Everyone knows this. A lot of tests are. How are you going to fare in a MoCa test if you have no reason to know what a rhino is?

Well, we all know intelligence is correlated with curiosity. If they never felt any need to know what a rhino is then maybe that in and of itself is proof of their lack of intelligence...

If they never had the education or opportunity to look in a book, as many working class people in disadvantaged societies do, they could hardly be blamed for lacking curiosity about something that had no impact on their lives.

This is the same kind of thinking that 50s white researchers used to claim black people didn't value education - because they only got points for wanting their kids to go to grad school, when people from disadvantaged communities who've never been to college don't even know that there is such a thing as grad school. Did they want their kids to go to college? Hell yes they did. But the research was weighted towards people of privilege from the start.
