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.

That's not generally how stereotypes work. Read some of the Jussim reviews. People generally use them rationally ie as bayesian prior and update based on individuating information. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a04f/01b558936dfc2a7071c94a4f068e0d9c28f2.pdf …

Alright, then I can kind of get behind that, my point is one should be careful when conveying this, cause many people understand stereotypes as I have described.

Thanks no doubt to decades of lefty researchers repeating stuff that ain't true in the media and the textbooks.

and of course people with low IQ who struggle to hold two ideas in their head at the same time, and people who have been brainwashed/socialised to ignore nuances
