re: Thoughts about systemic racism

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

It is not racist because it is not all member, obviously there are thousands of black people smarter than I am and there are thousands of Asians not as smart as an average black guy.

The problem we have is it is universally accepted that being racist is bad. So we have, according to what you are saying is scientific evidence, made it wrong to hold a belief that correlates with science. That would be a problem, if true.

While I don't agree it is by definition racist society will because they throw that term around like crazy. Is it racist to say that Asians are on average shorter than Norwegians? Would you, or anyone, disagree with that? Is it racist to say Africans on average weigh less than Samoans? Would you, or anyone, disagree with that? Probably not right? The facts are just as strong that there are average IQ differences by race but the vast majority of people would not agree, in fact the vast majority would refuse to accept it even though it is fact, so they are literally refusing to accept reality which makes them make up reasons for why certain races tend to do better in America. The reasons always include blame, and blame causes strife, which is why we have what we are seeing today.
