RSSWe all know that positive discrimination/racial quotas/affirmative action etc is based on the false premise that all races are equally competent. However, I’m not sure if there’s been any discussion of unintended benefits of these policies from a HBD perspective. Here’s two I can think of:
When education and employment are based on merit, the high IQ races get an inflated view of the low IQ races, since they will tend to work and go to university with only the few people from the low IQ races that are equally competent to themselves. This of course leads to disastrous political views. With positive discrimination, the high IQ races get a much more accurate picture of the low IQ races. This would also apply to desegregation policies in general, I’d guess there’s not many white SJWs living among poor blacks. You might call it the “Familiarity breeds contempt”-theory, perhaps someone here can offer evidence for or against it.
Secondly, women have fewer children the more educated they are, regardless of IQ. Therefore, positive discrimination in education will reduce the birth rates of low IQ races while increasing the birth rates of high IQ races.

Now, of course there are also negatives like:
It increases the number of people from low IQ races in positions of power and influence and it provides more opportunities for interracial crime and race mixing due to increased proximity.
The fact that low IQ minorities often live segregated from the rest has protected the high IQ races, but it has also insulated them from the consequences of diversity. What is better, being forced to face the problems of diversity right away while they’re still manageable, or remaining mostly insulated as the low IQ minorities gradually take over?
