Yeah it's a super popular trope among racists on the internet.
That said, I find the leftist rejoinder "IQ tests are racially biased" to be pretty unconvincing given that most of the tests are non-verbal. Much better to focus on the large confounding environmental factors than to deny there is any sort of intelligence gap at all.
