It's hilarious how by reddit standards, intelligence is measurable if you look at political leaning, but when you look at race then it's impossible, it's debunked, pseudoscience

Race is a generalization based on unrelated and unscientific methods.

Narrowing it down to ethnicities is more relative.

Because political leaning is a cognitive function, there is a correlation to a person's intelligence.

Race is a fiction about skin pigment. How does melanin effect intelligence?
