Strawman aside, down syndrome is just as common in black people as it is in white people, so you know, nobody was denying genetics play a role, they're just pointing out there isn't a proven correlation between "the white gene" and IQ like so many racism apologists want to believe.

If this were about "white racists", why would they rank themselves firmly below east asians and ashkenazi jews?

IDK, just sounds like more racism to me.

You think it is racist to be curious about IQ variance across races? Why?

I am curious, it just turns out the world is more fluid and diverse (billions of people, millions of non-isolated genetic populations), and more interesting, than over simplified and debunked ideas like "5 races with known IQ stats".

He didn't say anything about curiosity - where did you get that from, exactly?
