I am not the original poster, but most people advocating for the idea that races have genetic differences in IQ are racists, because non-racists don't dare say so in most contexts.

This may also apply in Europe to people opposing immigration--only racists would dare say so because they're so marginalized that they don't take additional hits from it.

Taboo "racist".

Do you believe it's unclear from context what I meant?

No, actually I don't. In fact I still don't understand what you meant.
