I looked this up and every single study reports lower iq in Africa. Asians have the highest. Is this bullshit?

Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.
Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.
Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.

Well yeah everyone knows the iq test is not a good metric for actual intelligence.
So those cultures technically do have lower iq scores.
I don’t personally believe in iq tests though.

I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn’t made for them and it’s dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that’s still a dishonest number.
