>If Black people are not heavily under-represented in a ‘cognitively demanding’ organization that is very strong evidence the organization is racist against White and Asian individuals!
Any way of measuring cognitive ability shows that blacks have lower cognitive ability on average than whites and asians. Not only that, they have a lower variance in IQ, meaning fewer people 3 standard deviations above the black mean than whites/asians 3 standard eviations above the white/asian means respectively.
Any sufficiently large and non-niche organization (e.g. not some black focused charity or anything else that may legitimately have some metirocratic basis for favoring black applicants, or is located somewhere where there’s mostly black people in the local labor market) that hires people at least significantly on the basis of cognitive ability and does not consider race should hire far fewer black people per capita than whites or asians. This has to be the case.
If this isn’t the case, then this organization simply then factors other than cognitive ability must be dominating the hiring criteria, especially if we average this out over a whole sector, type of organization or the whole economy to smooth out any idiosyncrasies.
And we know for an indisputable fact that A) Universities engage in affirmative action on the basis of race which results in black applicants being admitted to selective colleges with academic scores below that of other races who get admitted and B) Black college graduates at all levels of qualification have significantly lower IQ, literacy and numeracy than graduates of other races at the same qualification level. So yes, its trivially true that institutions discriminate against whites and asians on the basis of race. You may think this is a good thing, but if you deny it exists then you are objectively incorrect.
>Obviously this point of view is completely at odds with any sort of fair and inclusive community or organization.
Hiring people on the basis of their cognitive ability is necessary NOT inclusive. Hiring the person who is most intellectually capable is necessarily discriminatory, even if we’re talking about picking between people of different races.
As for fair, what is “fair”? Who decides what that is? Is a high IQ asian applicant missing out on a position at harvard to a lower IQ black applicant on the basis of their race “fair”?
I think this is highly unfair. But perhaps even more importantly, this will lead to worse social outcomes because there is a strong correlation between job performance and IQ.
Anything other than picking people at random is going to be not “inclusive”, but doing so would make the maintenance of a modern economy impossible.
