Torah613 – Blacks have a lower average IQ than whites. This is a measured fact. As to whether IQ measures intelligence completely and accurately, that is up for debate. If IQ was intrinsically valuable (it isn’t — people should be judged by their choices), and the data wasn’t so irrefutable, you might have a slight claim toward racism. There is also a strong correlation between IQ and wealth. Black people are less wealthy on average. There can be many explanations as to why this possibly arbitrary measurement favors ashkenazim over sephardim over caucasians over blacks on average. Facts are never racist, though.
