The dangerous part about this IQ/race agenda is that is creates a lazy fallback position for arguments where society promotes and perpetuates divisions based on race and ethnicities. It's easier to defend discriminatory laws and stances by citing "scientific studies" about IQ inequality between races and ethnicities, than to attack the problems posed by those very laws and stances. This is not an issue to be taken lightly, as it feeds the portion of the population that wants to continue and widen these divisions. Nothing positive comes out of these claims, but rather resentment, anger and mistrust. In some cases it could even be a self-fulfilling prophesy. "Well.... I'm black to I'm supposed to be stupid. Or not good enough to attend such-and-such university." You can hardly blame blacks for founding their own colleges, an article of which appears in the same National Geographic issue I had mentioned earlier.
