I don't think the view that there are genetic racial differences in IQ is popular here, if that's what you're referring to. It's come up a few times and the consensus seems to be that the evidence points to cultural and environmental explanations for the racial IQ gap.

I was wondering about that too, it's not really a a major topic here, though maybe the fact that it's been recently discussed on Overcoming Bias and that Roissy in DC is a "nearby" blog gave him this impression?

The topic kinda-sorta came up in last month's Open Thread, and WrongBot used it as an example in "Some Thoughts Are Too Dangerous For Brains to Think".

"Some Thoughts Are Too Dangerous For Brains to Think".

Which was controversial.
