Here is Ibram X. Kendi's take on Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett adopting two Haitian kids: “Some White colonizers ‘adopted’ Black children. They ‘civilized’ these ‘savage’ children in the ‘superior’ ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can’t be racist.”
I look at this subject in a different way. Professor Raymond Cattell pointed out that cultural inventions are the work of exceptionally gifted highly intelligent individuals, so new cultural inventions can demand more complex adjustments from the general population then they are genetically suited for. The resulting genetic lag is the cause of many social problems.
I want Amy Coney Barrett to join the Supreme Court, but a deeper and ultimately more humane way for good people like Amy Coney Barrett to help Haitian children will come when the solid connections between genes, high intelligent and high achievement are better understood and accepted. Richard Lynn's “IQ and Global Inequality” (2006) estimates a Haitian IQ of 72. Europeans have an average IQ 100. Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of 110-117 High-caste Indians IQs in the 115-120 range. 120 is a reasonable estimate for white South African engineering students.
Eugenics is already shaping where the next generation wants to go in education, and parents are already using testing and screening, genetic counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic engineering, and we can move on from there as the deceitful paralyzing of eugenics begins to wind down.
As
to people adopting a child of a different race, basic human
nature is genetically kin and ethnic centered, and if
multiculturalism is not forced upon us we naturally separate into
ethnic groups, and diversity naturally continues with ethnostates.
