As suspected, low intelligence in childhood corresponded with racism in adulthood

[Johny Traffic]

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

I always knew racists were just stupid. Great to see a study that shows that.

I've always figured this is why there is no peace in the Middle East as well

That's a pretty racist thing to say.

racist people are stupids, we should kill them all, they are "untermenschen"

everything is possible and nothing is 100% sure

Duh, look at our government

[iSpyCams]

I think racism and xenophpobia are nothing but tribal defense mechanisms from when we were all inbred naked indians and we could only trust our immediate family not to try to kill and eat us, and they all looked just like us.

Stupid people tend to rely more on instinct than reason (and for the most part that is probably better since they can't reason well, which is why we call them stupid) so it stands to reason they would be more racist.

It's funny that the other research into IQ has been suppressed. Probably because the results were very un-PC.

The problem with the study is that social conservatives are not conservative at all. They are way more progressive in the way they view government. They believe a society should be structured to fit their belief system and are willing to use the force of government to control others to think, act and behave the way they want them too. That is a progressive idea and not at all conservative.

"bound to stir controversy"... among the dumb themselves maybe. Nowhere else.
