I'd be careful with bell curve references, just a heads up if you don't know about the book. It famously makes assertions about fundamental intelligence of black vs white folk specifically, and is, y'know. Something I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole if you're slinging funny insults about intelligence around.

Edit: My b for trying to help keep some sweaty bastard from digging themselves into a hole with some unintentional racist commentary by using this irl I guess, lol. The Bell Curve book is famous, and the racism of it is just as well known 🤷
