Calling people who recognize racial correlations with intelligence racist is an incorrect appropriation of the term
I think a lot of people will disagree.
it’s a weird trivial sort of technical correctness that is mostly irrelevant.
So, try declaring in a mainstream public forum that races have significantly different gene-based IQ (I recommend a disposable nym for that). Listen to the names you will be called, see how many commenters will be inclined to exhibit the “weird trivial sort of technical correctness”...
I have done this. People are unskilled at execution. It’s not simple and it takes a bit of care, you have to display empathy that you are uncomfortable with the conclusions, and that it isn’t something that you are happy or want to believe, and that if any one is ever going to provide a solution to give every one a better chance, then we will not get there with making it a crime to think this and organize around it. They just want assurance that you’re not the person they read about in the history books.

The problem is that many of the people “they read about in the history books” did indeed have accurate views on race. Which means the only way to reassure them that you’re not that person is to either lie to them about your beliefs or have inaccurate beliefs.

Seems to me they would want much more, starting with your head on a stick.
