  1. 0:00The West is racist. That's what
  2. 0:02mainstream leftism has been saying for
  3. 0:04decades. Why else would there be such
  4. 0:06great disparities in income, crime
  5. 0:08rates, etc. between racial groups? In
  6. 0:10their worldview, all racial groups and
  7. 0:12cultures are equal. Therefore, all
  8. 0:15disparities can only be explained by
  9. 0:16discrimination. And for just as long,
  10. 0:19the mainstream right has been
  11. 0:20counter-arguing that culture explains
  12. 0:23all disparities. In their worldview,
  13. 0:25some racial groups completely randomly
  14. 0:27adopted cultures that sabotage
  15. 0:29themselves. For them, culture is the
  16. 0:32root cause. Any racial group could
  17. 0:34theoretically adopt a culture that has
  18. 0:36worked for any other group and improve
  19. 0:37themselves. And for that reason, all
  20. 0:40could theoretically assimilate anywhere.
  21. 0:43Both of these worldviews are
  22. 0:44nonsensical. Obviously, discrimination
  23. 0:47isn't the only factor, and culture
  24. 0:49clearly matters. But just as obvious, a
  25. 0:52people's culture is not random. It's the
  26. 0:55product of the people who create and
  27. 0:57sustain it. And isn't there a more
  28. 1:00obvious root cause to consider? That
  29. 1:02perhaps different groups are innately
  30. 1:04different and foster different outcomes
  31. 1:06even in the absence of outside forces.
  32. 1:08When studying group disparities, why
  33. 1:10don't we examine the groups themselves?
  34. 1:13You already know why. Because in our
  35. 1:15modern society, one of the most sacred
  36. 1:17dogmas is racial egalitarianism. The
  37. 1:20belief that all racial groups are
  38. 1:22fundamentally the same. Which is
  39. 1:24precisely why in this video, I'll be
  40. 1:26ranking and debunking all arguments for
  41. 1:28racial egalitarianism and then putting
  42. 1:31them on a tier list. If you enjoyed,
  43. 1:33consider subscribing. It helps the
  44. 1:34channel. A quick disclaimer. Since this
  45. 1:36entire debate exists because of the
  46. 1:38collective disparities between entire
  47. 1:40groups, we'll therefore be dealing with
  48. 1:42collective group averages. Therefore,
  49. 1:45the existence of exceptional individuals
  50. 1:47of any group isn't relevant as they are
  51. 1:50precisely that, exceptions. If you're
  52. 1:52the kind of person who accuses other
  53. 1:54groups collectively when it suits you,
  54. 1:56but then accuse others of racism if they
  55. 1:58don't treat members of your group as
  56. 1:59individuals, you can click off.
  57. 2:02Intelligence is not genetically linked.
  58. 2:06This obviously false statement is a
  59. 2:08necessary act of mental gymnastics for
  60. 2:10the purely socio-economic factors crowd.
  61. 2:13Because intelligence is heritable, as
  62. 2:15shown from twin and adoption studies,
  63. 2:17it's completely within reason to say
  64. 2:19that certain groups have selected for it
  65. 2:21more than others. In fact, if you agree
  66. 2:24with evolution, then you must concede
  67. 2:26this. How else would humans have evolved
  68. 2:28intelligence? Some dog breeds are
  69. 2:30obviously smarter than other dog breeds.
  70. 2:33The Border Collie and Chihuahua are both
  71. 2:35the same species, yet differ greatly in
  72. 2:37intellect and trainability. Should we
  73. 2:40expect that Chihuahua would do as well
  74. 2:42as a Border Collie? Is it purely
  75. 2:44socio-economic factors and
  76. 2:45anti-Chihuahua racism that makes them a
  77. 2:47minority in working dog roles? NPC tier.
  78. 2:51Humans are genetically 99.9%
  79. 2:54identical.
  80. 2:55You share half of your genes with a
  81. 2:57banana. 90% of your DNA sequence is
  82. 3:01shared with your cat. Quantitative
  83. 3:03similarities between genetic content
  84. 3:05does not equal qualitative differences.
  85. 3:08That 0.1% matters.
  86. 3:11Did you know that gray wolves are 99.9%
  87. 3:14identical to domestic dogs? In fact,
  88. 3:17they only diverge from each other about
  89. 3:1920 to 30,000 years ago, which is
  90. 3:21significantly shorter than the
  91. 3:23divergence between some human groups.
  92. 3:25But obviously, that doesn't mean it's
  93. 3:27okay to bring a gray wolf to the dog
  94. 3:29park. If gray wolves on average end up
  95. 3:31being more aggressive than dogs, solely
  96. 3:34blaming it on just socio-economic
  97. 3:36factors like dog trait disparities seems
  98. 3:38a little silly. Because remember,
  99. 3:41aggression, impulse control, personality
  100. 3:43traits are all also genetically linked.
  101. 3:47NPC tier.
  102. 3:48There is more intragroup variance than
  103. 3:51intergroup.
  104. 3:52This claim says that the genetic
  105. 3:54difference between one randomly selected
  106. 3:56person in the village and another
  107. 3:58randomly selected person in the same
  108. 3:59village is greater than the genetic
  109. 4:02difference between the average person of
  110. 4:04one race and the average person of
  111. 4:06another. Therefore, race is
  112. 4:08inconsequential. The premise is true,
  113. 4:11but there's a flaw in this logic. Not
  114. 4:14all genes are made equal. Most random
  115. 4:17genetic variants between people doesn't
  116. 4:19matter. But some specific genes matter
  117. 4:21so much that practically the entire
  118. 4:24group adapted to have those genes and
  119. 4:26are often defined by it. For example,
  120. 4:29the Duffy negative mutation, which is
  121. 4:31found in 95 to 100% of West and Central
  122. 4:35Africans, makes them immune to malaria.
  123. 4:38But 0% of those without African blood
  124. 4:40have it. Or the Tibetans EPAS1, which
  125. 4:43allows them to survive in high altitudes
  126. 4:45where oxygen is reduced by about 40%,
  127. 4:48which occurs for them about 90% of the
  128. 4:50time, but 0% for Africans and Europeans.
  129. 4:53Or the ABCC11 gene that makes 80 to 95%
  130. 4:57of East Asians have no sweat odor. But
  131. 5:00again, practically non-existent
  132. 5:02elsewhere. This becomes even more
  133. 5:04complex when it comes to traits that are
  134. 5:05influenced by multiple genes. We haven't
  135. 5:08fully isolated the genes that are
  136. 5:09responsible for intelligence or
  137. 5:11personality, yet we do know both are
  138. 5:13genetically linked. And I think we can
  139. 5:15both agree that social cohesion caused
  140. 5:17by similarities in intellect and
  141. 5:19character is vastly more important to
  142. 5:21survival than odorless sweat.
  143. 5:24Flaw two.
  144. 5:25Race is a social construct.
  145. 5:28Nowadays, whenever a leftist says X is a
  146. 5:31social construct, you should just
  147. 5:32interpret that as code for I have no
  148. 5:34counter to this observable aspect of
  149. 5:36reality. It's not an argument, it's just
  150. 5:39wordplay. What does social construct
  151. 5:41even mean anymore? Anything that humans
  152. 5:44have a socialized concept for? By that
  153. 5:46logic, everything is a social construct.
  154. 5:49The sun, the earth, molecules,
  155. 5:51everything has a socialized concept, as
  156. 5:53proven by the fact that I can name them
  157. 5:55and you know what I'm talking about. The
  158. 5:57fact that we have a social construct
  159. 5:59surrounding any aspect of reality does
  160. 6:01not mean that aspect of reality is made
  161. 6:04up. In fact, we build social constructs
  162. 6:07around real things out of necessity.
  163. 6:09Abestir.
  164. 6:11IQ tests are unreliable.
  165. 6:14For many decades, race egalitarian have
  166. 6:16had to deal with the world IQ map, which
  167. 6:18showed interesting patterns between IQ
  168. 6:21score and identity. Their only rebuttal
  169. 6:23has been either that IQ was not
  170. 6:25meaningfully influenced by genetics,
  171. 6:27which is demonstrably false, and that IQ
  172. 6:30has issues. I don't contest the latter,
  173. 6:33but it's the best we've got. IQ is the
  174. 6:35best predictor of success that we have,
  175. 6:38even more so than being born rich. Some
  176. 6:40then argue that IQ in reality should be
  177. 6:42used as a predictor of success in
  178. 6:44Western society, rather than
  179. 6:46intelligence. Find them. If IQ is a
  180. 6:48reliable metric for success in Western
  181. 6:50society, then naturally those of low IQ
  182. 6:53will not do well in Western society, and
  183. 6:55therefore we should not be importing
  184. 6:57them, nor should we expect low IQ groups
  185. 7:00to have similar outcomes to high IQ
  186. 7:01groups, even in the absence of
  187. 7:03discrimination. Since IQ is so
  188. 7:06artificially advantageous in the West,
  189. 7:08let those of low IQ thrive in other
  190. 7:10societies. Why do they insist on coming
  191. 7:13to our ones where they'll suffer? The
  192. 7:15reason is because there are no societies
  193. 7:18where high IQ isn't advantageous.
  194. 7:20MPC tier.
  195. 7:22Culture fully explains disparities.
  196. 7:25This is everyone's favorite cope when
  197. 7:28they don't agree that the West is
  198. 7:29discriminating against certain groups,
  199. 7:31but don't want to give leftist reasons
  200. 7:33to call them racist. Here's the thing,
  201. 7:35you're going to be called racist
  202. 7:36regardless when you disagree, so you
  203. 7:38might as well be honest. Why do some
  204. 7:40groups adopt or create certain cultures
  205. 7:42more readily than others? Both genes and
  206. 7:45culture obviously have an effect on each
  207. 7:47other. Genetics influence on what
  208. 7:49culture you're most innately compatible
  209. 7:51with, and culture works as a form of
  210. 7:53selection. But which came first,
  211. 7:55genetics or culture? This isn't a
  212. 7:59philosophical question. Genes obviously
  213. 8:01predate culture. Culture is a product of
  214. 8:04a people, not the cause of it, even if
  215. 8:07there is a feedback loop. Just because a
  216. 8:09culture works for one group of people
  217. 8:11doesn't mean it works for all.
  218. 8:13Abysstier. Different groups are
  219. 8:15different for a reason. They adapted to
  220. 8:18survive in their own unique
  221. 8:19circumstances. The expectation that you
  222. 8:22can transplant a people from one part of
  223. 8:24the world into another, and that they'll
  224. 8:26integrate and perform at identical
  225. 8:28levels to anyone else, is a delusion
  226. 8:30rooted in the routinely debunked blank
  227. 8:33slate ideology. An ideology perpetuated
  228. 8:36solely by the fear of being labeled
  229. 8:38racist.
  230. 8:39That concludes the tier list. If there
  231. 8:41are any other arguments you'd like to
  232. 8:42see addressed, please share them in the
  233. 8:44comments below.
