"Joe Bruno," can a FACT be racist?
What if "racists" believe that as a general rule, African Americans are less intelligent than the U.S. population at large? But then, when the data are compiled, it turns out that the average (mean) IQ of African Americans is one whole standard deviation below that of the general population.
And what if the so-called "Achievement Gap" in schools remains, even after you normalize for wealth, social factors, school spending per pupil, gender, and every other quantifiable variable for which data are available.
Is the original hypothesis still "racist," even when proven to be true?
And if you want an example that you might find more palatable, what if a "racist" believes that Ashkenazi Jews are MORE intelligent that the general population. And so on.
Is that still a "racist" belief? Is it not proven to be true?
In fact, there are all sorts of differences between and among the races, keeping in mind that a general truth does not apply to any individual. It is only since Leftists have taken over Academe and the Media that one is not permitted to notice - and CERTAINLY not to study - these differences. Which explains the dearth of such data in the U.S. Not allowed to think about it.
