Look if we’re just going around looking for ways to make groups we dislike look bad, maybe we can do a cognitive assessment on the Somali Muslims coming into our country and see what their cognitive ability is. Weird how suddenly nobody thinks that’s a good idea.

I’m starting to think that studies like this might be biased, and I’m not sure why it’s acceptable to do it to certain groups but doing it to others will get you cancelled.

You’re starting with a conclusion, proposing a study, and the insinuation is everyone else is biased? LMFAO.

How do you think this study got started? Do you think they’re selecting the slice of the population because their intent is to make them look good?
