Reply to comment by Ken-Popcorn in I'm a native to Massachusetts and I love the state, but I really wish many of my fellow Massholes stop degrading people from certain states we may not like. by BoringAccountName78

I think there's a difference between cracking some jokes about CT not being part of New England and the entire South being a shithole and everyone there being stupid and racist.

Massachusetts has an average IQ of 104.3.

Let’s see how the southern states compare:

Mississippi – 94.2

Louisiana – 95.3

Alabama – 95.7

Arkansas – 97.5

Tennessee – 97.7

You might not like it, but those states are more than free to vote out all the Republican dipshits who domainte their anti-education/anti-science ethos. Those states don’t want to properly fund education because it would allow folks to see through the bullshit GOP propaganda that is very much anti-working class. And while those states are free to tell religious homeschool parents and wacko “book banning” parents to fuck off, they don’t. Because they encourage that horseshit.

Meanwhile, in Mass we just passed a new wealth tax to put even more money into education.

So it’s not some misplaced lie or bad faith posturing when folks simply point out the massive educational and intelligence disparities between the states. It’s a very real thing.

It’s also why Mass has so many insanely expensive private high schools and colleges.

We are the education capital of the country. No state is even close for the concentration of educational opportunities we have.

That's because Mass has a much higher white population, and IQ tests are proven to be racially/culturally biased. They mean nothing.

Try again racist.

California has only 6% black population is almost all white and Asian, and they have an average state IQ of…wait for it…95.5.

Believe it or not the conservative white folks in Alabama and Texas are dumb as shit.
