I suspect most systemic oppression is a myth. But it's very commonly used as an important concept in America, and I wanna make sure I'm not missing anything - can someone steelman systemic oppression for me - what it means exactly, and if that definition is supported by data?

ok that is definitely farther than i meant to take this, I think it's pretty unlikely that, even if there is IQ difference between races, that it's a significant enough effect to be anywhere comparable to racism or sexism.

I haven't done a deep dive; I agree that some evidence suggests (nonconclusively) that there's a racial correlation with IQ. I haven't seen enough evidence to be convinced that this is a significant effect though.

But, controlled for things? I'm not against race and IQ correlation on principle; I do agree that in this moment if you test IQ you will find it to be correlated possibly significantly with race. I'm less convinced about how strong this is genetically though. I'm open tho.

Measurable environmental effects account for almost nothing. Genes account for at least 50%
