That is a mistatement of what I said.
They are racist because they choose to place heavy
emphasis on race.
In a trunshumanist world view, race is unimportant...
They call it "enlightenment" to worry that dumb black
folk will outbreed smart white folk... and thus
decrease the overall intelligence of humans. I am not
at all sure of their sources, but even if their
sources are 100% accurate, breeding by the traditional
method isn't what will determine the intelligence
of whatever humans become in the next 100 years.
So yeah... they are wrong, even if they are right (and
I wouldn't bet on their being right), but not because
of any "big brother" super statist meme... but because
they are letting their monkey brains overcome their
intelligence.
It has nothing to do with "PC" and everything to do
with misplaced energy and effort.
