Racial Egalitarianism: All Arguments Ranked & Debunked — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The West is racist. That's what
- 0:02mainstream leftism has been saying for
- 0:04decades. Why else would there be such
- 0:06great disparities in income, crime
- 0:08rates, etc. between racial groups? In
- 0:10their worldview, all racial groups and
- 0:12cultures are equal. Therefore, all
- 0:15disparities can only be explained by
- 0:16discrimination. And for just as long,
- 0:19the mainstream right has been
- 0:20counter-arguing that culture explains
- 0:23all disparities. In their worldview,
- 0:25some racial groups completely randomly
- 0:27adopted cultures that sabotage
- 0:29themselves. For them, culture is the
- 0:32root cause. Any racial group could
- 0:34theoretically adopt a culture that has
- 0:36worked for any other group and improve
- 0:37themselves. And for that reason, all
- 0:40could theoretically assimilate anywhere.
- 0:43Both of these worldviews are
- 0:44nonsensical. Obviously, discrimination
- 0:47isn't the only factor, and culture
- 0:49clearly matters. But just as obvious, a
- 0:52people's culture is not random. It's the
- 0:55product of the people who create and
- 0:57sustain it. And isn't there a more
- 1:00obvious root cause to consider? That
- 1:02perhaps different groups are innately
- 1:04different and foster different outcomes
- 1:06even in the absence of outside forces.
- 1:08When studying group disparities, why
- 1:10don't we examine the groups themselves?
- 1:13You already know why. Because in our
- 1:15modern society, one of the most sacred
- 1:17dogmas is racial egalitarianism. The
- 1:20belief that all racial groups are
- 1:22fundamentally the same. Which is
- 1:24precisely why in this video, I'll be
- 1:26ranking and debunking all arguments for
- 1:28racial egalitarianism and then putting
- 1:31them on a tier list. If you enjoyed,
- 1:33consider subscribing. It helps the
- 1:34channel. A quick disclaimer. Since this
- 1:36entire debate exists because of the
- 1:38collective disparities between entire
- 1:40groups, we'll therefore be dealing with
- 1:42collective group averages. Therefore,
- 1:45the existence of exceptional individuals
- 1:47of any group isn't relevant as they are
- 1:50precisely that, exceptions. If you're
- 1:52the kind of person who accuses other
- 1:54groups collectively when it suits you,
- 1:56but then accuse others of racism if they
- 1:58don't treat members of your group as
- 1:59individuals, you can click off.
- 2:02Intelligence is not genetically linked.
- 2:06This obviously false statement is a
- 2:08necessary act of mental gymnastics for
- 2:10the purely socio-economic factors crowd.
- 2:13Because intelligence is heritable, as
- 2:15shown from twin and adoption studies,
- 2:17it's completely within reason to say
- 2:19that certain groups have selected for it
- 2:21more than others. In fact, if you agree
- 2:24with evolution, then you must concede
- 2:26this. How else would humans have evolved
- 2:28intelligence? Some dog breeds are
- 2:30obviously smarter than other dog breeds.
- 2:33The Border Collie and Chihuahua are both
- 2:35the same species, yet differ greatly in
- 2:37intellect and trainability. Should we
- 2:40expect that Chihuahua would do as well
- 2:42as a Border Collie? Is it purely
- 2:44socio-economic factors and
- 2:45anti-Chihuahua racism that makes them a
- 2:47minority in working dog roles? NPC tier.
- 2:51Humans are genetically 99.9%
- 2:54identical.
- 2:55You share half of your genes with a
- 2:57banana. 90% of your DNA sequence is
- 3:01shared with your cat. Quantitative
- 3:03similarities between genetic content
- 3:05does not equal qualitative differences.
- 3:08That 0.1% matters.
- 3:11Did you know that gray wolves are 99.9%
- 3:14identical to domestic dogs? In fact,
- 3:17they only diverge from each other about
- 3:1920 to 30,000 years ago, which is
- 3:21significantly shorter than the
- 3:23divergence between some human groups.
- 3:25But obviously, that doesn't mean it's
- 3:27okay to bring a gray wolf to the dog
- 3:29park. If gray wolves on average end up
- 3:31being more aggressive than dogs, solely
- 3:34blaming it on just socio-economic
- 3:36factors like dog trait disparities seems
- 3:38a little silly. Because remember,
- 3:41aggression, impulse control, personality
- 3:43traits are all also genetically linked.
- 3:47NPC tier.
- 3:48There is more intragroup variance than
- 3:51intergroup.
- 3:52This claim says that the genetic
- 3:54difference between one randomly selected
- 3:56person in the village and another
- 3:58randomly selected person in the same
- 3:59village is greater than the genetic
- 4:02difference between the average person of
- 4:04one race and the average person of
- 4:06another. Therefore, race is
- 4:08inconsequential. The premise is true,
- 4:11but there's a flaw in this logic. Not
- 4:14all genes are made equal. Most random
- 4:17genetic variants between people doesn't
- 4:19matter. But some specific genes matter
- 4:21so much that practically the entire
- 4:24group adapted to have those genes and
- 4:26are often defined by it. For example,
- 4:29the Duffy negative mutation, which is
- 4:31found in 95 to 100% of West and Central
- 4:35Africans, makes them immune to malaria.
- 4:38But 0% of those without African blood
- 4:40have it. Or the Tibetans EPAS1, which
- 4:43allows them to survive in high altitudes
- 4:45where oxygen is reduced by about 40%,
- 4:48which occurs for them about 90% of the
- 4:50time, but 0% for Africans and Europeans.
- 4:53Or the ABCC11 gene that makes 80 to 95%
- 4:57of East Asians have no sweat odor. But
- 5:00again, practically non-existent
- 5:02elsewhere. This becomes even more
- 5:04complex when it comes to traits that are
- 5:05influenced by multiple genes. We haven't
- 5:08fully isolated the genes that are
- 5:09responsible for intelligence or
- 5:11personality, yet we do know both are
- 5:13genetically linked. And I think we can
- 5:15both agree that social cohesion caused
- 5:17by similarities in intellect and
- 5:19character is vastly more important to
- 5:21survival than odorless sweat.
- 5:24Flaw two.
- 5:25Race is a social construct.
- 5:28Nowadays, whenever a leftist says X is a
- 5:31social construct, you should just
- 5:32interpret that as code for I have no
- 5:34counter to this observable aspect of
- 5:36reality. It's not an argument, it's just
- 5:39wordplay. What does social construct
- 5:41even mean anymore? Anything that humans
- 5:44have a socialized concept for? By that
- 5:46logic, everything is a social construct.
- 5:49The sun, the earth, molecules,
- 5:51everything has a socialized concept, as
- 5:53proven by the fact that I can name them
- 5:55and you know what I'm talking about. The
- 5:57fact that we have a social construct
- 5:59surrounding any aspect of reality does
- 6:01not mean that aspect of reality is made
- 6:04up. In fact, we build social constructs
- 6:07around real things out of necessity.
- 6:09Abestir.
- 6:11IQ tests are unreliable.
- 6:14For many decades, race egalitarian have
- 6:16had to deal with the world IQ map, which
- 6:18showed interesting patterns between IQ
- 6:21score and identity. Their only rebuttal
- 6:23has been either that IQ was not
- 6:25meaningfully influenced by genetics,
- 6:27which is demonstrably false, and that IQ
- 6:30has issues. I don't contest the latter,
- 6:33but it's the best we've got. IQ is the
- 6:35best predictor of success that we have,
- 6:38even more so than being born rich. Some
- 6:40then argue that IQ in reality should be
- 6:42used as a predictor of success in
- 6:44Western society, rather than
- 6:46intelligence. Find them. If IQ is a
- 6:48reliable metric for success in Western
- 6:50society, then naturally those of low IQ
- 6:53will not do well in Western society, and
- 6:55therefore we should not be importing
- 6:57them, nor should we expect low IQ groups
- 7:00to have similar outcomes to high IQ
- 7:01groups, even in the absence of
- 7:03discrimination. Since IQ is so
- 7:06artificially advantageous in the West,
- 7:08let those of low IQ thrive in other
- 7:10societies. Why do they insist on coming
- 7:13to our ones where they'll suffer? The
- 7:15reason is because there are no societies
- 7:18where high IQ isn't advantageous.
- 7:20MPC tier.
- 7:22Culture fully explains disparities.
- 7:25This is everyone's favorite cope when
- 7:28they don't agree that the West is
- 7:29discriminating against certain groups,
- 7:31but don't want to give leftist reasons
- 7:33to call them racist. Here's the thing,
- 7:35you're going to be called racist
- 7:36regardless when you disagree, so you
- 7:38might as well be honest. Why do some
- 7:40groups adopt or create certain cultures
- 7:42more readily than others? Both genes and
- 7:45culture obviously have an effect on each
- 7:47other. Genetics influence on what
- 7:49culture you're most innately compatible
- 7:51with, and culture works as a form of
- 7:53selection. But which came first,
- 7:55genetics or culture? This isn't a
- 7:59philosophical question. Genes obviously
- 8:01predate culture. Culture is a product of
- 8:04a people, not the cause of it, even if
- 8:07there is a feedback loop. Just because a
- 8:09culture works for one group of people
- 8:11doesn't mean it works for all.
- 8:13Abysstier. Different groups are
- 8:15different for a reason. They adapted to
- 8:18survive in their own unique
- 8:19circumstances. The expectation that you
- 8:22can transplant a people from one part of
- 8:24the world into another, and that they'll
- 8:26integrate and perform at identical
- 8:28levels to anyone else, is a delusion
- 8:30rooted in the routinely debunked blank
- 8:33slate ideology. An ideology perpetuated
- 8:36solely by the fear of being labeled
- 8:38racist.
- 8:39That concludes the tier list. If there
- 8:41are any other arguments you'd like to
- 8:42see addressed, please share them in the
- 8:44comments below.
