    I honestly don't see the racist angle on this one. I just see it triggering cons and that's good enough for me.

  3. Well to be fair Kap got triggered first, cons getting triggered is just fun because they apparently claimed to enver buy Nike again so not sure why they are standing up for the shoe haha.

    White nationalist debunked pseudo science.

    What does the term "white" nationalist mean?

    A simplistic approach to establishing a meaning for "white" nationalist would be that it means people prefer their own kind. Is there something wrong with that?

    The conventional interpretation is that "white" individuals on average are more adept then some other group at some skill. The skill is broadly interpreted to refer to "intelligence."

    This is a valid proposition. It is incumbent on the other group to demonstrate that with respect to the skill in question, here proxied by intelligence, that they are superior, or equal, or in fact inferior in said skill. That a group would be sensitive to this scrutiny already suggestion an answer.

    The "pseudo science" is usually alluding to The Bell Curve - Murray and Hernstein. It is an extensive 845 page statistical analysis of differences between "races". Few people have actually read it in its entirety. Is it without mistakes - no. But in the large I find the conclusions more true than false. The conclusion was that there are statistically significant differences between the groups of be examined in the study.

    The Bell Curve firmly establishes that there is a difference between groups but does not offer an explanation as to why.

    The why is found by invoking the Out of Africa Hypothesis. Some groups stayed in Africa but some groups left Africa. The groups that left Africa via random mutation and natural selection acquired different skills to assist them in surviving in harsher environments. Examples might be deferring immediate gratification or developing long range planning skills.

    There is a genetic bases for differences in group performance.

    You can play around with words like what is intelligence or find one little thing wrong with this or that but the evidence in the whole is overwhelming. There is a significant difference in group performance, in The Bell Curve, it was 1 standard deviation from the mean, between groups. This difference in large part is genetic in origin. The genetic difference was brought about by 10,000's of years in difference environments.
