Is it even possible to be racist and not to be stupid? I understand the concept, but in practice it always seems like a package deal.

As a small child, when I first heard of the concept of racism, my first reaction was “they think all people of a certain race share the same brain? That’s stupid”. It’s a little more complicated than that but basically yeah, racists think people of the same race automatically share certain personality traits, which is pretty stupid

Well, some scientists came up with races and they probably weren’t stupid

  You really think science was needed for this one?

  Depends on how you define stupid, some scientists are stupid in certain areas of life
