All fitness and sport equipment will be tax-free.
how would that work if almost everything can be claimed to be for fitness and sport?

were they the only people in America, the ostracized criminals would have to live in a makeshift criminal colony far away from Amish areas.
if population density was allowing it, but if not, they would pretty soon get the need to have a prison system.

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.
