Why is Eric Turkheimer so unreasonable about race and intelligence? http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=7257

Decades fighting against racial prejudices, and now science proves racists had a point. Do you really think that won't affect the fabric of society? The current consensus may be a lie, but it is a useful lie that contributes to societal peace
That remains to be proven. In my opinion, the attempted denial of obvious differences has been very harmful. To put it bluntly, racial stereotypes are quite accurate and ignoring them is both irrational and harmful.

How is it harmful to anyone other than black people to stereotype them as dumb? When people stereotype, they aren't taking nuanced positions of talking about average IQs, they are making sweeping, incorrect statements and applying them to a whole group. Just my opinion.
