Ahh okay, but that's false. Mixed race people have IQ that is intermediate between IQs of their parents.

So you're going to quote one of the most famous supporters of eugenics?

Perhaps you know this already about Richard Lynn, and perhaps agree with him, but what he and others in the journal Mankind Quarterly have done is re-establish a following for the kind of scientific racism last seen in the 19th century and early 20th century. Not only do they give you false information like - "Mixed race people have IQ that is intermediate between IQs of their parents" (which is not how genetic traits are passed on) - they also cherry-pick aspects of their studies that will support narrow interpretations of their white supremacist arguments. Consider why ~99% of academics - and much of the public - do not agree with these assholes, or with eugenics. Consider also all of the other factors that one would use to assess intelligence, attractiveness, health, height, competitiveness, the nature/nurture argument, &c. I suppose it's good that Richard Lynn had the academic freedom to conduct eugenics research, but he should also be required to retract claims that were not the result of the usual scientific scrutiny, and that have been proven innaccurate, misleading, and wrong.

Socks what is the point of having the discussion about this if you simply dismiss scientists who come to racial realist and hereditarian conclusions as racist out of hand? You have to be honest and say that no matter the truth of these claims people who make them are going to be called names because egalitarianism is the dominant ideology. It's like dismissing anyone who is critical of Jews and their arguments because other people have called them an 'anti-semite'. Well of course people have called them that anyone who says things critical of Jews will be called that just as any scientist who advances racial realism will be called a 'racist' or a 'eugenicist'or something.

Also at least 'foxy' took the time to explain the tests and didn't just merely dismiss them all as the work of egalitarian ideologues.

Points well-taken, though I do try to offer serious responses that appreciate the potential value of the other resources. I noted in one of my responses, for example, that:

"I suppose it's good that Richard Lynn had the academic freedom to conduct eugenics research..."

One reason I note this is that Lynn did not find substantial variances in IQ, which helps with arguments on both sides. He pushed nontheless an old-fashioned racist narrative wherein he tried to claim that "hybrid" people are dumber than those who aren't hybrid. His evidence for this is not significant or well-founded. I am afraid I don't have much nice to say about this kind misleading approach. But I'll keep in mind this balancing of arguments that you mention. I should mention perhaps that most responses to me tend to be polarized and unbalanced, though that's no excuse.

Oh goodie. We have poisoning the well, appeal to authority, appeal to popularity all in single comment. All this due to a screenshot of studies from Lynn's book. Studies that weren't even made by Lynn. Amazin'
