Isn't this result a product of modern culture? A hundred years ago virtually everyone was racist including the intelligent, surely a similar result would not have been achieved.

I don't think that fits the narrative that these people are trying to build by perverting science.

Racism:  Buzzword that gained increasing popularity in the 2nd half of the XXth century, after the defeat of Nazi Germany.  Used to discredit political opponents into impotence.

What Jake refers to should be rightly coined: culturism - term signifying a discriminatory attitude towards cultures deemed as inferior to a generally accepted norm - see 'islamophobia'.

I'm not referring to anything, just linking the article :)

Curiously, they reported similar links between homophobia and stupidity.

Well, cultural is a big part of it. If you don't realize how uncivilized you look by being racist or homophobic that's probably a sign of lowered intelligence. When that wasn't true, then obviously there wouldn't be a correlation between intelligence and such thoughts. Smart people don't typically intentionally marginalize themselves with unpopular opinions.

I went into a gas station for some coffee the other day and a relevant scene unfolded. A fat white guy, looked to be in his mid-40s and probably hadn't showered in awhile rumbles in. He's wearing dirty pants, a t-shirt with holes in it, and a ratty baseball cap. Previously in the store, a (tanned) white woman with brown hair, dressed nice sort of like you'd expect a suburban housewife to be dressed. She's looking through one of the aisles for something and happens to be on the phone, which she is talking on in Spanish. The white guy, rummaging through the beer cabinet (the one with the 40s and double deuces obviously--at 7:30 am) and when he hears this foreign tongue being spoken says more than loud enough for anyone listening to hear, "Holy shit, you gotta be fucking kidding me, people need to go back to where they fuckin came from." Since his manner of speaking, while loud, was so poor that you have to be able to translate from "redneckese" to English I doubt the woman on the phone even noticed. But yeah, it was a good commentary on American society in some way, or at least a good example of how deplorable white trash is.
