OCG, is "race realism" a true science or not?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism
http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Race_realism
There is an ideology in the West, known as "race realism", which claims that it is usually White people who are naturally more intelligent and stable than other races, due to adapting into colder climates with less food. Some IQ scores by some scientists instead suggest Ashkenazi Jews or East Asians having higher scores than Whites, but race realists prefer to focus on White people instead.
Whereas Blacks and some others (like Australian Aborigines) are placed at the other end in the bottom. It is based on scientific reports by European scientists in the 17th to 20th centuries, as their countries' empires grew.
So, to the OCG section where race is discussed (or becomes a source of quarrels), do you think race realism is true? Or is it simply an excuse to treat people badly?

I intentionally skipped your definition because it included "white people".
It depends on how you define race and how broadly you're applying it. For the most part, there's nothing scientific about how people view race.

Yes, race realism is true, and it's backed by science. Anyone can look at the data and see that Ashkenazi Jews (which is a very specific type of Jew) score highest on I.Q. tests. Germans (maybe not now since Germany is more diverse) also score remarkably high on I.Q. tests. Race realists like Jared Taylor acknowledge these differences. Intelligence is just one of many components that distinguish one race from another. Blacks, for example, dominate in the 100-meter dash. Europeans are responsible for many of the modern advancements we have today.
To then say that we are all the same is rather ridiculous, don't you think?

Of course it's true.
