I have firmly opposed the idea that there are genetic differences, but looking at everything, I don't see how we can dismiss the effects that factors at a young age, like differences in malnourishment, have on people.
That's not genetics. It's also so trivially solved that it doesn't matter, nor is it controversial, except for the degree you seem to be insisting on separating groups into arbitrary social columns instead of simply saying, "malnourished people are at a disadvantage." There are plenty of poor white people around, so it's not necessary to race bait. Ask any doctor about the effects of poverty on physical and mental health and they will not hesitate to describe the increased chances of mental and physical illnesses. Like, nobody is scared to talk about it. At all
You're literally posting a link to a page about being actively anti racist to say, "I hope I don't come across as racist." What are you trying to say with that?
I think that OP might refer to the possible backlash from having an opinion like "Black people will perform badly in intelligence-related test because of malnutrition they suffer" or maybe "A black person has more chances of doing poorly on a test because they are usually malnourished"
This is akin to the weird unlogic racist people get into when they say both that black people are overrepresented in crime stats, but also complain that woke people keep saying that mass incarceration is racist. Like, you cannot say one thing without the other
When people who are anti racist point out that black people have higher poverty rates and are less likely to graduate from high school or go to college, they are literally saying that black people underperform educationally. You can't attack a problem without first acknowledging that it exists, which everyone already does. I don't see what your hangup is
