It doesn’t take guts - it’s easy to spout a stereotype and much harder to think.
The voter competence test used to be property ownership - if you could accumulate a few assets, you could vote. It tended to cut out the felons, drunks, bums, and shiftless. Now those people just vote democrat.

Not all bad, but I think that an information test would be superior to a means test. People, reasonably bright people, can not be property owners for a variety of reasons. Information is freely available. Consume it, and be able to make some small amount of sense of it, and you should be allowed to vote, without regard to race, gender, or social class.
Challenging a stereotype is the easiest of all. Come up with one exception and you're a genius. Forget the vast majority of the time the stereotype holds true.
