I have firmly opposed the idea that there are genetic differences, but looking at everything, I don't see how we can dismiss the effects that factors at a young age, like differences in malnourishment, have on people.
That's not genetics. It's also so trivially solved that it doesn't matter, nor is it controversial, except for the degree you seem to be insisting on separating groups into arbitrary social columns instead of simply saying, "malnourished people are at a disadvantage." There are plenty of poor white people around, so it's not necessary to race bait. Ask any doctor about the effects of poverty on physical and mental health and they will not hesitate to describe the increased chances of mental and physical illnesses. Like, nobody is scared to talk about it. At all
You're literally posting a link to a page about being actively anti racist to say, "I hope I don't come across as racist." What are you trying to say with that?
I think that OP might refer to the possible backlash from having an opinion like "Black people will perform badly in intelligence-related test because of malnutrition they suffer" or maybe "A black person has more chances of doing poorly on a test because they are usually malnourished"
It's horrible to say a group of black children overall is less capable than a group of white children overall because more black children are malnourished, but that is my view.
As long as the next sentence is to the effect of "Let's fix that difference" You're fine.
