By correlating X with Y (where e.g. X=race and Y=average intelligence), other people end up correlating “People who correlate X with Y” with Z (Z=people who are evil racist bastards).
That’s a proper correlation, but it’s still a epistemological bias to prejudice against the idea, just because the speakers of that idea are often evil.
That’s pretty much the same point I made in a different thread
