I have a lot of opinions on them.
Race is made up. Race theory as an invention can be dated back to the enlightenment (and conveniently, the transatlantic slave trade). Although there were absolutely concepts of people "not us" the notion of whiteness simply didn't exist. Romans didn't think that they had some magical kinship with Germanic peoples, they thought they were uncivilized brutes. The notion that someone from Senegal and someone from Zimbabwe have some magical commonality is insane those two places are -so far apart-.
I also strongly believe intelligence is a nebulous concept which you can't quantify in any real way. If you are a professor of comparative literature at in New York vs a Sentinelese tribesman - how the fuck do you actually talk about a universal concept between the two that has equal use in both contexts? If you swapped their places would either one of them be "smart"? If the Sentinelese designed an IQ test, would you and I do well at it?
So IQ is basically just a made-up test that we've ascribed some kind of magic powers to like it's this unbiased scientific measurement of individual excellence. Not only is it not that, I don't see the value in doing so in the first place.
And on a personal note, everyone I've met in MENSA is a fucking idiot. People who get high on their own IQ stop thinking critically and snap into rigid dogmatic and generally asinine views of the world.
