And neither are they. What all these people fail to understand — whether hard-core neo-Nazis or the more polite academic “serious people” talking about “facts” like IQ — is that there is no such thing as race, from a biological perspective. It is strictly a social construct, nothing more.
Given that there is no way whatsoever to distinguish “races” in any consistent scientific way, ANY DISCUSSION AT ALL about race (other than about social bias) is built on quicksand.
Because there is no logical reason to disrupt a constitutional democratic republic, envy, fear, and anger must be used to divide a nation against itself and make an authoritarian leader seem to be appealing to those who feel that progress will reduce their imagined status.
