It's not a nice discussion to have bc it leads people to try and justify racism.
What you think of people around you should be based off their behaviour towards you and others, and things like personality/common interests. You may only hang out with people as clever as yourself but before you meet someone intelligence shouldn't really be a factor.

Regardless the amount of people you get to know over your lifetime is such a ridiculously small sample of the population and the way you meet people (work, school, social class, hobbies etc) means your sample is going to be extremely skewed anyway, so any statistical conclusions about a race can't really be taken as a prejudice before you meet someone of that race. The research doesn't offer any obvious benefits to society while potentially causing a divide with it.

From a pure science perspective there may be differences and it doesn't really matter that there are, and so they should be investigated bc that's good science. But it clearly will be used by racists for bad rather than good so I don't mind science being held back in this case.

You get told to go back to /pol/ because asking for research into things like this makes you come of as a racist looking for justification of your belief.
