Inbreeds are 75%among middle easterners and Africans. Low IQ is the result of inbreeding and yes it has been prevalent in the southern US that’s why many are morons.
Reginald Braithewaite
Isn’t a belief in eugenics in 2019 the mark of a low IQ? You might as well give us stats on where “middle easterners and Africans” fall on your phrenological chart. Belief in that, too, is the hallmark of — how did you put it? — “morons.”
