Reply to comment by personAAA in Controversial race researcher gets prestigious Cambridge University fellowship by hieronymusanonymous
Such research has been done and was done for a long, long time. Its not forbidden.
Its just that the scientific consensus points to these ideas being wrong.
The author refuses to accept this and just wrote a paper to complain and smear those who disagree.
If the author could actually do research and provide insights into the intelligence of "racial groups" that would be science. He would be providing new insights and challenging our understanding of these matters.
But he can't do this, so he goes after his fellow colleagues.

Could you link a research review or something elaborating on the scientific consensus you mention? This is the first time I've heard someone being categorical on this topic, but it's not exactly an area I'm familiar with.

Bell Curve - An extremely popular best seller. Yet we are told that this kind of books are forbidden. This is done in bad faith.
The Mythical Taboo on Race and Intelligence - yet the "race researcher" mentioned in this post is inventing imaginary oppression.
https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/science-genetics-reshaping-race-debate-21st-century/ - there are no separate or distinct "races". A "race" is a sociopolitical classification, not a genetic or biological one.
Measure the "intelligence" (a difficult thing in itself) of groups that cannot be objectively defined is destined to fail.

I am used to it. People pushing these race & intelligence narratives are almost always vicious authoritarians.
