Why are less intelligent people more racist on average?

[DraviXi99]

They're both obsessed over race. Two sides of the same coin. It's everything to them.

Racism can attract both good AND bad people (dark triad).

Maybe people at the bottom of the social order *become* racist or adopt racist positions, in the face of mass immigration, as they see it as a threat to their already low standing. Same as the economic threat to low skilled work.
This would skew "racism" towards the lower social orders, more. As middle class people would naturally be more protected/secure in their social position, in the face of new immigrants.

I don't think racism exists amongst the upper class. It's more about snobbishness/blood/lineage. They tend not to see their common humanity in their fellow national. At least that's true of South Asia. And of the British elite (iirc, phrenology and eugenics were aimed at the lower orders, by the upper class).

Less inteligent people tend to get low pay job, who make them live in place with a lot of "diversity". After you witness some behaviors in a daily basis, you tends to be more racist.

Smart people can live in a bubble and be deconnect to some reality. The only non white person they meet is their cleaning lady and the uber eat delivery guy.

if you are working in tech in USA then you are gonna meet many indian Asian. and people in tech still are more liberal. these are all assumptions

I agree with this. People who are more educated are also more liberal on average.

It is anti-racist whites who are less intelligent than average.
In fact are authentic retards.

People who are more educated are also more liberal on average.

Im other words, those "educated" individuals will be
the most likely disseminators of degenerate ideas.

Hitler wasn't racist

This is probably why they say racists are dumb

They're more instinctual. Midwits are also very good at convincing themselves of just about anything if it is advantageous to them (which not being racist is in this day and age) and because Midwits (105-115 IQ, maybe 120 tops) make up the bulk of higher than average IQ individuals, they determine the results of most intelligence studies.

But it's true,he was free from any type of hate that you can imagine,even the racial one.

As the kids say, there sure is a lot of coping.

There are several studies out there to reference.

Bright minds and dark attitudes: lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice through right-wing ideology and low intergroup contact

Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models.

Anyway, I don't understand why this should be shocking. People who are more intellectually curious tend not to be racist.
