I certainly think it is justified, but that people get really touchey when you start talking about IQ. I know people who've been called racist because they made a joke complimenting a black guy on his dong (it wasn't the black guy that cried racist btw) and comedian Tom Papa has been lambasted for saying that Asians do better in school. Is positive stereotyping racist?
