IQ distributions differ across races. IQ proxies a general factor of intelligence. Afaik intelligence researchers believe both sentences are correct. I care more about being correct than about being culturally compliant, and I expect Bostrom feels similarly. So I don’t expect him to disavow claims that seem to be correct.
Your blanket statement about what “intelligence researchers” believe is misleading and implies a level of consensus that does not exist in the field (see for example https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/01/23/intelligent-argument-race). I am aware of the empirical evidence purporting to show ethnic differences in intelligence; I simply think it is low-quality and unconvincing.
No one mentioned in the article you linked disputes either of these sentences: “(1) IQ distributions differ across races. (2) IQ proxies a general factor of intelligence.” Their discussion addresses “Why is (1) the case.”
