why high IQ black people do worse than high/mid IQ white people
Regression to mean: children of rich high IQ blacks regress to mean and thus end having lower IQs that children of rich high IQ whites. If you correlate this with individual's IQ instead of parents' IQ or SES, you get much smaller racial gap.
and higher average IQ should correlate with more pro-social,
Consider than men are more criminal than women even if they have equal or slightly higher IQs than women, Among dog breeds, Huskies are stupid but rarely kill people, Pitbulls are smarter but kill people on regular basis.
I've seen no theory for a separate "criminality gene" being fleshed out.
congratulations on anti-HBD people running successful campaign on obfuscation

"Identifying with a criminal culture",
It definitely exists and it's partly downstream of genetics.
orthogonal to IQ.
nobody suggesting it's orthogonal

most interracial relationships involving black people involve a black man and white woman.
this is evidence that black women have very large troubles attracting anyone rather than "black men have no trouble attracting white women in the west"

So at this point, we have pretty clear data that when Europe was Christian (and America), there was almost 0 non-white immigration to Europe
from wikipedia: By the mid-16th century, there were approximately 10,000 Africans in Lisbon, around 10% of the city's population. probably the reason there isn't large amount of blacks in Portugal now because they they all assimiated, this might be part of reasons why the country transitioned from a superpower to "hey, actually portugal belongs to eastern europe" tier.

Your argument doesn’t really make sense.
Really? Do you object to that part that MAOA & DRD4 genes associated with climinality too?
specific dysfunctions, likely enabled by legal and social changes that were predominantly enacted by non-black politicians, entertainers and businessmen, that are not the natural destiny of their inhabitants per se.
I agree about this, but even if this this get fixed, we won't see B-W gap in USA disappear.
Why South Africa, Botswana and Nigeria officially report higher homicide rates (and by large margin) than less functional African countries? Low crime in African countries is suspect.

A thought was pursuing me for a long time, and visited me during Scott's poll again. What if we polled a large number of people about their SMV (e.g on 1 to 10 scale) and their SO SMV, and then check those whose estimates match estimates made by another people. It's very well known that people of both genders greatly overestimate their SMV. What if amongst people with no SMV self-bias we could find some people who are superforecasters without them having to spend tens of hours to play a game. And if you want answer to some difficult ethical question, it might be wise to ask them, they are more likely to give correct answer than people who can write long texts with links to "peer reviewed" articles.

The old OKCupid data showed a huge effect of non-African men finding African women less attractive, but it didn't apply to African men.
Look at the numbers again, it did apply.

India
most rape stories on European women in India are of multiple assailants; Indian men (in large part due to worse nutrition) do not have height and strength advantage over Euro women than Euro men have.

You answered neither of 2 my questions!
that year St Louis reported 200 murders in a city of 300,000 (of whom only 150k are black).
looks like you're showing number of murders for greater St. Louis (which is 3 million) with figure of population of St. Louis city.
why Nigeria reports more 10x homicide rate than Ghana, which it shares border with? Is 0.3 homicide rate per 100k for Senegal in 2015 close to truth?

E.g. USA blacks and whites have same IQs after you "control" jointly for individual's income, education, marital status (and other factors which are downstream of IQs)
or, jokingly, controlling for lattitidue, Texas and Alaska have same climate.

I think Scott Alexander once sarcastically mentioned genetic testing for recessive disease(s) in Israel something along the times "yes, a nazi thing... practised as XYZ in Isreal". I fail to find the reference. What is the name and is it obligotary? Will some or all rabbi require testing before marriage?

I believe the current transgender advocacy, on the reverse, requires trans individuals to be recognized as such even without surgery and/or HRT, Laws requiring surgery and/or HRT, sterliziation are widely seen as transphobic.
This isn't just my interpretation or extrapolation of my opponents' position, this idea is written down in manifestoes
I don't think this has anything to do with mainstream.

a huge amount of Russians were accepted.
ahem. ahem. What means 'huge'? Ever since COVID times, EU does everything to let less Russians in, not more. And they mostly let those Russians the least likely to go to war (e.g. rich).

That doesn't tell you about the IQ of any individual standing in front of you. For that, you would just test them?
Sure, if you have the time and individual in the question agrees. But if you are a business owner considering opening a new branch and you need, to know, say if workers or buyers will do something complex or buyers attempt to steal from you, you cannot test all of the neighborhood beforehand.
If you doing hiring interviews and you have 3 applicants, one of them from lower achieving group and you're short on time, it might make sense to reject one from lower achieving group immediately and use gained time to do longer interview with others. Determining race white vs black takes 1 second, IQ test takes 1 hour. By criterion of information gained by time consumed looking at race is very efficient. Unless, of course, you beforehand know that you are dealing with sample where blacks would be matched for IQ.
I can't think of any policy we would change to address low IQ blacks that wouldn't also apply to low IQ whites.
We can stop trying to forcibly desegregate schools. We can stop rallying with "end racial profiling" and just catch criminals.
