on the issue of racism, no
i do not know many things about many topics. all of us are ignorant of many things
but i know enough about racism to understand that racists are not intelligent people. i am absolutely certain of that
oh i am certain you can find some mathematician who can do complex topological analysis in his head who is a fervent racist. there's also mathematicians who can't balance their checkbooks or know how to talk to girls. much like autism, extreme intelligence in a small domain does not often extend to basic social intelligence. on a site like slashdot, i am certain there are minds brilliant in small esoteric areas that are social morons, aspergers syndrome types
but anyone of average social development and of ordinary iq can easily spot the logical fallacies with racist "thinking"
and so you must be socially retarded to be a racist. i am certain of that to an absolute degree
there are certain beliefs, like creationism, antivaccine, racism, that to believe in those things *requires* you to be mentally deficient and socially stunted
if you are racist, you are a low intelligence individual. truth
