I guess. It depends what level of implication you’re willing to infer from their statements.
For example, New Deal Democrat said:
I guess that it could be that such a statement might not be saying anything about racial inferiority. I’m willing to concede that the possibility is greater than 0.00001 percent that NDD isn’t making an argument about superiority and inferiority here. After all, claiming that a particular group is of low intelligence and prone to crime carries no negative connotations in our society.
It’s also worth nothing that the statement itself is problematic for other reasons. If he had said that blacks have lower SAT scores (as in Shodan’s example), or lower IQ scores, then that at least might have some basis. But simply saying “low average intelligence” is not the same thing, because it suggests that the low measured scores are themselves a reflection of inherent characteristics and a completely universal and objective measure of intelligence, rather than a product of particular social and cultural and economic opportunity and environment.
Probably.
My point was not to defend Der Trihs with that post. It was simply to note that Shodan’s examples did not adequately note the scientific racialist position.
