But in the video you got to a point and said "Now dealing with the claims of racists" Then went onto say low IQ is caused by poverty according to these articles. But what are the actual claims of racists?
The only claim that I would make is that people from different regions show some trends in having higher or lower IQ and higher or lower intelligence. Also trends associated with being different in other ways, like being better or worse at certain sports and so on.
Just in the same way people from certain regions in Africa are better sprinters than most other people in the world, Jewish people and Asian people occupy jobs which require a certain level and certain type of intelligence. Jewish people tend to dominate finance and law, Asian people from specific areas of Asia tend to dominate IT jobs and other jobs requiring high intelligence.
This claim doesn't have much to do with race it's just regional, there are different body types in different regions of Africa aswell as Asia and they don't permeate throughout all black people or all Asian people.
The claim racists make is that black people on average have a lower IQ, and then they come to the conclusion that this is proof that black people are inferior. I suppose I should have stated the claim then debunked it, but seeing as how it was made mostly for racist people who already hold such an opinion I figured I'd just cut right to the debunking of said argument.
