I don't understand. What are you accusing me of?
Plus this theory was debunked in the early 70's by many sociologists who collectively turned the Bell Curve theory on it's head, by the late 90's...when they proved that Black kids, taken from the ghetto as infants and moved to Lilly-White suburbia...did go on to outperform or stay on pace their White peers, academic output.... through high-school
I didn't think that it was but you can never be sure since scientists are people with political/social biases. There have been countless historically held beliefs in the scientific community that have been fueled by political sentiment rather than an impartial understanding of empirical evidence.
Anyways, in regard to the video, I think that voluntary racial separatism (maybe a separate all White, Black, Native etc. state) can be justified (or discouraged) on consequentialist grounds. The 'racism' that I see as wrong is any ideology that disregards the interests of individuals on the grounds of race.
