“IQ tests are biased against minority groups”

No.
The vast majority of experts in intelligence research agrees they’re not biased against minorities, while the slight majority of applied psychologists says the same (Charlie L. Reeve, Jennifer E. Charles, 2008).
Murphy, K. R., Cronin, B. E., & Tam, A. P. (2003) confirms the finding.
The heading statement is therefore a fringe view among academics.

“The studies are old”.
First, they are not, an academic’s career doesn’t last from 2008-2021, it lasts decades. Second, even if they were, it doesn’t matter. Third, even if it did, the two studies show an upwards trend in rejecting cultural bias.

Not even partisans of the environmentalist hypothesis for the black-white gap think the tests are biased.

Only 24% of southern whites, but 61% of non-southern whites, approved of the 1964 civil rights act. As a whole, 59% of Americans (including non-whites) approved of the bill.

"Survey results indicated that, when compared to a DHM Research panel in 2018, fewer Oregonians believed in protecting and preserving the country’s multicultural heritage.

More agreed that America “must protect and preserve its white European heritage.”

Specifically, when posed similar questions in 2018, 92% of those surveyed agreed with protecting and preserving America’s multicultural heritage. In 2021, that agreement had lowered to 86% of respondents. In 2018, 31% believed that America had to protect or preserve its White European heritage, compared with 40% in 2021."

From a sample of 82 Kenyan children, only two displayed behaviour in reaction to their reflection in a mirror.
“Of the 82 [Kenyan] children tested, only two demonstrated any of the defined self-oriented behaviors when facing their “marked” image in the mirror (one-tailed binomial test, p < .001, with a .60 probability threshold). Of these two children, one removed the mark and one touched but did not remove the mark (both were 48 months of age; one male and one female). Coding of freezing behavior reveals that 80 of the 82 children (one-tailed binomial test, p < .001, with a .50 probability thresh- old) displayed such behavior, staring at their image in the mirror, without any attempt at either touching or removing the mark on their forehead. The two 48-month-olds that self-oriented did not freeze.”

Response to a popular puberty blocker study

"Unfortunately, the finding came from a low-quality survey which is known to have elicited unreliable answers on puberty blockers. The analysis assumed that puberty blockers were available in the U.S. several years before they actually were. Most seriously, Turban et al. (2020) barely acknowledged the fact that adolescents with severe psychological problems would have been less eligible for drug treatment, which confounds the association between treatment and suicidal ideation. The article therefore provided no evidence to support the recommendation “for this treatment to be made available for transgender adoles-cents who want it”"
