Racial Realism vs. DEI
Much of the research we have tells us that some standardized tests, like the SAT, can predict the test takers’ academic success further down the line. If you’re in the 99th percentile of SAT takers, you’re probably going to do well in college, all other things being equal. But to what extent should we allow measurable intelligence determine how we organize society? And what do we do with the fact that measured intelligence varies between racial groups? In this clip from this week’s episode, Amy Wax argues that “racial realism” is a necessary countermeasure to DEI overreach. We debate the value and the limits of basing social policy on the fact that there are average differences in IQ between groups.
