New study finds that the impact of a parent's education on their children's educational attainment is negligible once genetics is accounted for.

Probably the best line of evidence CRTermites have for systemic racism is the callback studies. Famous is the story of the woman who received 10x as many callbacks after changing her name to sound more white:
https://selfuni.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/unemployed-black-woman-pretends-to-be-white-job-offers-suddenly-skyrocket/

The real effect however is much more modest:
https://sci-hub.ru/https://doi.org/10.1080/1369183X.2015.1133279
and the effect size is inflated by publication bias:
https://tandfonline.com/doi/suppl/10.1080/1369183X.2015.1133279/suppl_file/cjms_a_1133279_sm2318.docx

Still, if some effect were to remain in a preregistered large N study, such an effect, even if small, would be a slam dunk, yes?

Well, I'm just going to have to be mean about this, but not all names are equal. Some names sound stupid. I can think of White names which sound dumb:
Angus, Barbie, Baxter, Betty, Bessie, Becky, Butch, Kurt, Gus, Doug, Garth, Gilbert, Gunther, Igor, Keegan, Mort, Nevaeh, Peggy, Rufus, Shelby, Waldo, Ridge, Dick, Gaylord, Bob, Bill, Billy, Mackenzie, Bella, Libby, Toby, Sasha, Malka, etc;
and I can also think of Black names which sound dumb:
Lafawnda, Shaniqua, Shaquan, Anfernee, Shaligua, Ja'Quarius, Latonda, Shequeeda, Tyisha, Mar'Quita, Toree, Ty'Ressha, LaQueesha, Shawanda, Tysheena, Tomique, Shalonda, Laquisha, Condoleeza, M'eshell, N'degeOcello, Mubinge, Dwayne, Aaliyah, Fatoumata, Dominique, LaTanisha, Tyreese, etc.
I can also think of Black names which don't sound dumb:
Lexus, Cosby, Cleveland, Carvey, Demarcus, Jasmine, Shanice, Darnell, Jamal, Maurice, Xavier, Terrance, etc.

Given the IQ gap, we'd expect Blacks to be more likely to pick names which sound dumb and to not be able to think of as many options to choose from given their more limited vocabulary.
Subjectively, it seems like this is the case: Some Blacks engage in a weird practice where they take the two parents names and mash them together to create the child's name. I've also noticed Blacks engaging in a practice where they'll take a White name, give it to a kid, have it be pronounced normally, but spell it wrong. While the White names of old were probably filtered for popularity over hundreds of years with anything dumb being filtered out, anything new has not had to survive any such selection effect. Indeed, in Freakonomics, it has been noted that "nearly 30 percent of the black girls are given a name that is unique among the names of every baby, white and black, born that year in California."
https://b-ok.cc/book/608367/39828c
Consequently, there is evidence that the callback disparity is due to the socioeconomic connotations of the names rather than their Black connotations:

For many Civic Nationalists who grew up on 80s culture, this image represents a time when Blacks and Whites "got along." They didn't get along, but that's the belief, and many CivNats want to return to when such sentiments were...credible. That is, a time when their neighborhoods were all White with a token non-White who served the purpose of reassuring them that they weren't "racist."

But baked into these cinematic moments is the White audience's tacit, implicit expectation of White Primacy, as Devon Stack would say. Carl Weathers is seen as Arnold's peer, his "equal" but Arnold is the star, the hero. This is what the White audience wanted.

Superficially, the idea conveyed is that we're past race, but deep down, no one wants that. Especially not 80s nostalgists. The time they want is one in which Whites and White culture are dominant with token Black guys who serve to accentuate certain ideas and moral paradigms.

Vikings were not Black or Arabs or "diverse":

They did a genetic study on Vikings and found that Viking pigmentation was near-identical to modern Scandinavians and that they were all genetically Northwest European, no different from modern Northwest Europeans.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/703405v1.full.pdf

The "diversity" that the study found among Vikings was that like 2 of them had slightly more Southern European DNA (probably meaning that their father married a French woman or something) and that Nordic people have a lot of ancestry from neighboring Nordic people.


"Exploring twenty-two SNPs with large effect associated with eye color and hair pigmentation, we observe that their frequencies are very similar to those of present-day Scandinavians."

The study adds the libtard disclaimer of "[there is] not a single ‘Viking phenotype’" by which they mean some have blond hair and some have brown hair, not that some Vikings were Arabs or Black.
