Think of it like this. The average level of intellect is average yes, but probably pretty stupid. Then realize that half our population is more stupid
CORRECT! This is something I have been educated about during Trump's reign. I really had NO IDEA that racism was so prevalent and that stupidity was so widespread in our country. I now know why that is. I am an educated person. All of my friends are educated. I have friends who are of many different races, and I live in an enlightened liberal area of Ohio that accepts all of them. My immediate neighbors are first-generation immigrants from Germany, South Korea, and India, and Portugal, professionals all of them. I knew, of course, that not EVERYONE was like my friends, neighbors, and me, but I have LEARNED that nearly half the country is either JUST stupid or racist. It is very sad to learn that.
I had to end one friendship during this Trump time when he and I got into a discussion of race following his comment that Obama wasn't the first black president because he was half white. Basically, he meant (and confirmed) that if Obama were "100% black" that he would not have been talented enough to become President. I do not remain friends with racists, and I told him to go pound sand. More white people should do that when other white people feel comfortable saying racist things to them. It's unacceptable.
