DeBoer is on your side in that one!
From my point of view, 90% of the reason the race stuff is important is because otherwise people will use it as a disproof that genes matter

"Oh, you say genes determine outcomes, but with these extra assumptions that's racist, therefore forget genes".
-
I doubt that this kind of thing can be routed around, but it *could* work, and I'm happy that people are trying.
-
Main reason I care about genetics is to get good genetic engineering in future.
-
The race stuff *helps* - if we can point to the B/W gap and say "Look, this is the sort of thing we could solve w/ gene engineering" [cont]
-
...it would be impossible and obviously horrific to refuse to do so.
-
But if other people have better ways to promote the same narrative that might route around social resistance, we should let them!
