He may actually have referenced race.
He brings up IQ here,
"the Left tends to deny science concerning biological differences between people (e.g., IQ and sex differences)"
IQ has no relevance to a discussion on gender gaps, so, why mention it?
The quote's context is politics. In that context, IQ has recently been used in discussions over racial differences [2].
It begs the question, is Damore being honest about his views on race? If we replace "IQ" with "race", would that change the meaning he meant to convey?

You are projecting your own biases onto that statement.

Looks like the reasoning came from the Quora article. Do you have another explanation?
Downvoters, please cite which part of Damore's essay you think is comparable to overt racism. He explicitly said that he thinks women are capable, and should be hired.
