    Solid video. Seeing obvious proto-fascist rationalizations on this site was a bit of a shock, and not one I respond very well to tbh. When someone tries to justify blatant racism with "science", they're actively attempting to legitimize violence against minorities and I see no reason to tolerate that noise.

    Since this work has been discussed a lot here lately, I thought I'd share what I've found as the most comprehensive and yet accessible critique of that work. Normally, on other sites, there wouldn't be a chance anyone would watch such a long video, but I thought this might just be the place.

    I hadn't heard about this book before and it's one of those topics that just seems so absurd. Thank you for sharing this, I suppose if I ever run into any "race realists" I'll have at least a basic understanding of how they're misinformed.

    Why is this tagged "race realism"? Isn't that a fashy dog whistle?

        That's exactly it. This book is used widely by fascist and proto-fascist people in many places. So this deals with that from a very well researched video author.

      No problem! I liked the video and just laugh whenever anyone trots out The Bell Curve. I thought it did perfectly worth the slower pace and deeper level of discussion here.
