True, there are smart people of all races, but some races have a much higher percentage than others. That difference in distribution has a huge impact on society as a whole.
When it comes to impacts on society it is the average of the group that matters not the rare individual exceptions.
My comment was more in regard to that, than any particular individual.
Yes, I’ve read some of Charles Murray’s arguments...and there ARE jobs that must be based heavily on IQ. As there are jobs that must be based on physical strength.
But that’s not all jobs - most jobs are mixes of IQ, emotional and social IQ, hard work, desire to achieve, decent values etc. etc. etc. Women’s IQ’s tend to be clustered around the mean... a new set of problems for some professions. Men can be low on social IQ...
But I agree with you the politics of pretending reality doesn’t exist can have many downsides...
