No it is not. It was very clear and succinct and as usual because it exposed your lazy adoption of Alpha style pseudo science, you feel compelled to instantly dismiss it. You love to have your ears tickled by those who share your own opinions but that does not make them facts. You keep going back to the discredited bell curve and end up sounding like Trump with cancer windmills. Not doing yourself any favours.

The whole PC thing with you has often seemed to be about you thinking you can play the devil's advocate and face up to uncomfortable truths, others will refuse to, but the ironic thing is that you are in this case the one refusing to accept the real science and so have to resort to pseudo science ,to support your own flawed 'belief system'. It is no different to Alpha thinking that cases of scientific peer review fraud discredit the entire system. You both want to' believe' in order to assert an expertise that neither of you posses.
Why bring up Alpha, why do you do that? You are seriously defective sometimes. It is something we can work on in our therapy sessions.

There is no devils advocacy in the basic fact that there are IQ differentials between races. I know it hurts your feelings as you think everyone is the same, but we are not. Everyone is different, but if we collate data on a group basis then we see patterns. For instance, a black person is significantly more likely than me to catch AIDS or get diabetes or in the case of men be 40% more likely to die of cancer. This is just true, and if race is this social construct, then it wouldn't happen, but it does because genetics and evolution is real. It is true that I am more likely to develop skin cancer. It is evolution. These are group differences, but of course a black person can get skin cancer and a white person can get diabetes. These are group patterns, but as I always preface we do indeed treat everyone as an individual.

I just do not understand why the IQ thing is such a issue if we consider that over tens of thousands of years we have actually evolved differently in different environments and thus have different characteristics. The East Asian will often have the charming oriental eye shape, I will be translucent, the black person more likely to have frizzy hair. That is genetic and in terms of my skin partly environmental as I tan under the moonlight, but you get it.

Of course I do get the anxiety from a leftist perspective as you hate that there are differences between groups, genders, sexuality, etc. However, I just accept the information for what it is, treat people as individuals and have no nefarious intentions. My only argument would be to stop feeding the racism lie when what we are really dealing with in society is a lack of self responsibility and natural differences which I think could be reduced by just being better people. That of course goes against your stealing money from others to pay for it all which is useful at times, but not a long term solution. It creates dependency and then you chaps feed the racist line and it creates even more friction. I find that far more nefarious and destructive.

This is where I keep on highlighting Candace Owens who I think is a great role model for young people, whilst I think someone like Stormzy is a terrible role model.
