The fact that you jumped to "eugenics" proves my point.

The fact that you can't correctly identify debunked claims about a connection between race and IQ as inherently eugenicist talking points and instead quickly resorted to obfuscation proves my point.

This is a pretty severe leap of logic; respectfully it seems to me like both of you are sort of talking past each other here.

Why don’t you just say what you mean? Not everything is about proving points or “winning”, it’s okay to just have honest discussion.

What I'm saying: Because Wikipedia is a premier world-class source in debunking scientific racism, presents a constellation of facts that are rather damaging to frauds like Charles Murray, and has likely prevented the radicalization of tens of thousands of people... nearly every single critic of Wikipedia on this particular topic is a scientific racist. Which is a set of positions indistinguishable from eugenics. Pretty much without exception.

People with lower intelligence don't necessarily have "bad" genes; thousands of other traits to optimize for after all.
