In a thread with a huge discussion about the work of Charles Murray, in which people are defending the work of Charles Murray, and in which those same people are saying that IQ measurements between different "biological groups" (no idea which groups those might be!) are likely to be genetic, Well Named still, somehow, can't find a single person who might be arguing that IQ differences between black and white people are genetic. Not even in this juan valdez post:

The idea that people would evolve in different environments and then expect the same outcomes at the group level is a failure of elementary school level evolution. The same can be said about gender differences. Men and women are different on average. To then expect the same outcomes is just the failure of an IQ test.
This is clearly and obviously demonstrated in sports. Ethiopians destroy in distance running. They live at elevation and have a slight frame. Their performance is exceptional. It's not a social construct. West Africans from the Caribbean completely dominate sprinting events. They dominate sprinting events as a massive minority in countries like the USA, Canada, and across Europe. It's not a social construct or a statistical miracle. I know what you're thinking, I'm not a black supremacist. Because I believe IQ research, I'm not an Asian supremacist either.
Is juan arguing in favor of conclusions that IQ differences between black people and others are genetic in nature? By gosh, Well Named just can't tell! He doesn't even use the word "black" directly next to "IQ", how could we possibly know?!?
In-****ing-credible that Mat handed off a politics forum to this guy.
