Yep. Reminds me of Bobby Fischer. People are worshipful of IQ, amazed by the ability of geniuses to recognize patterns. Right up until they recognize a pattern they don't agree with, then all of a sudden they're "crazy".
I think the reason why people do that (especially for the whole thing of black people on average being a standard deviation below) is because there’s the empty question of "what the fuck do you plan on doing about it", because complaining for the sake of complaining is pussy shit, and all the solutions are pretty fucking ugly to implement, or all the "solutions" that the 1488 people advocate for are pretty fucking ugly, to be specific.
You can't devote resources to solving a problem you don't know exists (or won't acknowledge).
If some of the tens of trillions of dollars of 'social welfare' spending had been devoted to investigating the root cause of disparate outcomes (not racism, capacity), we might have a solution by now.
Instead, we devoted those resources to reinforcing a biological problem with social strictures, with predictably tragic results for everyone involved.
