This is a lot of work to cherry pick examples from those sources that nonetheless do not help locate significant gaps in differences between so-called one-race people and multi-race people (which are more common than white supremacists seem to understand, among their numerous misunderstandings).

See also my original note:

you won't see a significant gap in intelligence in mixed-race children

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.

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'
