If by racist you mean "think that some racial groups are superior and others inferior" then I would also guess that there are almost no racists on LW.

Would you mind defining what you mean by "superior" and "inferior"?

I dunno, I have often heard the following charge against HBDers "You're just trying to prove your own superiority under a pathetic veil of pseudo-science that you call HBD". I'd rather not talk about superiority and I'd rather talk about the specific axes along which populations might differ, and how that might inform policy decisions (an even more volatile topic).

I have often heard the following charge against HBDers "You're just trying to prove your own superiority under a pathetic veil of pseudo-science that you call HBD".

Notably, that charge is typically leveled at Caucasians who, by HBD lights, are noticeably inferior to East Asians.
