Sullivan is a racist who used his perch at @NYMag to push the idea that Black people are genetically less inteligent, that white supremacist Charles Murray has "legitimate conservative ideas and serious scientific arguments" and that there are "positive racial stereotypes"https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1285304669363933184 …

Replying to @NathanJRobinson @NYMag
It's always struck me as interesting that there are some, generally on the left, who believe that we cannot study the race differences particularly IQ, and I presume it's because they have already made an assumption and that it's too "hurtful", their own assumption. (Racists!)

People on the left do study statistics related to race. What we do not so is see differences in things like IQ and throw our hands up and say, welp I guess they are just born that way, nothing can be done (like education, community investment, social programs etc)

Replying to @Wickerbitchhh @BlueCodePhoenix and
You can either say a statistic is an inherent biological reality or is caused via socioeconomic factors. If the former, you better prove it. If the latter, you better be trying to ameliorate the conditions that led to the gap. But racists cant do the former, won't do the latter.

The latter *is also an empirical claim* - one that happens to be absurdly easy to disprove.
