>>It's not about "race", it's about the distribution of human abilities,
class structure, human behavioural genetics, human migration, mating,
and the long term effects of natural selection. "Race" is just
incidental, as you would have picked up if you'd actually read and
understood any of it.
As it stands, you *are* incorrigibly ignorant, and you're also a naive
dupe of a "politically correct" irrational liberalism which amounts to a
pernicious form of intellectual fascism. As a consequence, you risk
sacrificing everything that's rational about science.
Try to do some *critical* self-analysis and look more carefully into the
empirical research instead of posting fanciful emotive rubbish. There
are few findings with as much solid evidence behind it as the above, and
I suggest you make a determined effort to grasp what it means along with
some of its likely global economic and political implications rather
than burying your head up your rectum because you don't "like" any of it
or because you might "like" it to be otherwise. It's because of that
sort of naive, ineffectual, romantic and in my view, entirely misguided
behaviour that careful, productive science is driven underground or
worse.
