近来，一些人在微信群传播一篇题为《愈发难以掩盖的现实：不同种族之间的平均智商差异》的帖子，称“美国著名种族研究专家杰瑞德·泰勒”探讨不同种族之间的平均智商差异”。
Jared Taylor何许人也？ 他并非学者，而是一个白人至上主义者。
《华盛顿邮报》在一篇题为《白人至上主义者如今看起来和听起来的样子》（他们不是你祖父年代的三K党）（ “Here’s what white supremacy looks and sounds like now. (It’s not your grandfather’s KKK.)”的文章中将他称为“有影响力的白人至上主义者” （the influential white supremacist）。
这篇文章尖锐地指出，当今的另类右派使用了不同的言辞，但他们的本质不变，和种族隔离时代的种族主义的、种族排斥的和反民主的纯白人的美国的愿景没有变。
"And yet, even as the alt-right seemingly eschews white supremacist language, at least in some public forums to broaden the movement’s appeal, its racially pure vision of a white America is as racist, exclusionary and anti-democratic as that of the segregationist “authoritarian enclaves” of the Jim Crow era."
凤凰网的《“白人至上”，喧哗与骚乱背后的社会撕裂》一文称他为“美国白人至上主义领袖，《美国复兴》杂志创始人”。他的观点包括：
“我不是建议驱逐少数族裔，或取消这些人的国籍。我所提议的是，如果美国人可以按照自己的意愿做出区分，白人会更喜欢跟与自己一样的人学习、工作和生活。”
“不是所有的人都是平等的”
关于智商和种族的关系，都柏林圣三一学院（Trinity College Dublin）神经生物学和遗传学副教授Kevin Mitchell 在卫报的"Why genetic IQ differences between 'races' are unlikely" 一文中说：
"The bottom line is this. While genetic variation may help to explain why one person is more intelligent than another, there are unlikely to be stable and systematic genetic differences that make one population more intelligent than the next.
So if we are concerned about people’s intelligence, we would do better to focus on the environmental and cultural factors that we know are involved and which can be changed. There is no shortage of them: maternal and infant healthcare, early life nutrition, exposure to neurodevelopmental toxins such as lead, and access to and quality of education all make a real difference. IQ scores are a measure of a person’s intellectual ability, not the limit of their intellectual potential. Focusing on things we can change should ensure that everyone can reach their potential."
他说，基因差异可能有助于解释个人之间的智商差异，但群体之间恒定的和系统的差异是不太可能的。智商是一个人的智力能力，并非智力潜能的限制。专注于改变能提升智商的外部因素，比如育婴健保、幼儿营养和教育质量，是我们应该做的，那样可以确保每个人都充分发挥潜力。
