Just as there was in the past (& still is today, if you surf over to the "wrong" sort of freespeech protected website) a "desperate attempt to try to make entire races unequal (to Whites) with or without the scientific evidence....
And frankly, the scientific racism was considerably more invalid than "scientific liberalism" is..... the former involved flat out falsification of data plus invalid logic, the latter involves largely a reaction AGAINST the former plus wanting to err on the safe side when it comes to VERY complex & still incompletely understood issues that can heavily impact human lives.

Yes. Not the least of which will be pointing out the distinction between "rule of thumb" generalities & absolutes (that's the one that racists have trouble with).
"Even if" blacks were "on average" inferior to Whites (something I disagree with, but am using hypothetically for illustrative purposes), this would STILL mean that at least "some" blacks were SUPERIOR to "some" whites.... which would totally negate any rationale behind racist legislation or social behaviors. (Snicker, you'd of thought that the racist minority of Whites would have realized the obviousness of their illogic by now... if Whites really were superior, you wouldn't need legislation & lynchings to keep blacks down by denying them opportunities.... it's only if the difference in level is ARTIFICIAL that it would need constant legal & social support to maintain.)
