What? This seems like a very left-leaning view. Believing in substantive relevant genetic differences between human subpopulations is really just super contested on the left. It’s also obviously correct, and e.g. Scott Alexander obviously subscribes to it.
We don’t have to go into IQ discourse, but of course Kenyan’s are faster runners than other human subpopulations, for largely genetic reasons. What on earth would it even mean to not believe in that?
To be clear by ‘race realism’ here I am just referring to the IQ discourse. I agree that other differences like the Kenyan distance running example are more widely accepted. I mean, in that Scott Alexander post you cited, the second paragraph is about how controversial the research is.
To be clear I’m basing Richard’s views on the essays in the curriculum he wrote with Samo Burja (https://www.21civ.com) which includes A Guide to the Heriditarian Revolution by Nathan Cofnas, a piece which led to Cofnas being essentially forced out of Cambridge for writing.
