NotPoliticallyCorrect



NotPoliticallyCorrect.me is a blog operated by an Italian-American man who uses the pseudonym RaceRealist on Twitter that promotes racialism pseudoscience. To his credit in April/May 2017 he changed his views on hereditarianism and now criticises the idea that genes play a role in population differences in intelligence, as well as questioning the validity of IQ. Instead however of giving up all his HBD beliefs, he still defends a form of pseudoscientific "race realism",   influenced by the philosopher Michael O. Hardimon, but that does not entail there are IQ differences among human races; this minimalist concept of race is "characterised by nothing more than outward physical differences and health-related biological susceptibilities". Curiously he has left up all his pre-2017 blog posts that are sympathetic to hereditarianism, but has claimed he's leaving them up to show the evolution and change of his views.

RaceRealist was an anti-vegan activist between 2018-2019 who used to pal around with carnivore diet advocates but since 2022 has come out against the carnivore diet and now mocks the pseudoscientific health claims of Shawn Baker.

Race realism
RaceRealist identifies as a "race realist", a euphemism that is commonly now adopted by Neo-Nazis and white nationalists (for example David Duke) because openly identifying as the latter is toxic to the ordinary public. Although RaceRealist denies being a white nationalist he advertises VDARE, Jared Taylor's American Renaissance and Kevin MacDonald's Occidental Observer on his website. All three are white nationalist organisations; Taylor's explicitly so. RaceRealist is also a part of the pseudo-intellectual "human biodiversity" blogsphere, with Emil Kirkegaard and John Fuerst who try to present themselves as scientists, when their agenda is racism and trying to legitimise the far-right politics of the Alt-right.

On his website, RaceRealist calls "race deniers" liberal creationists. This is amusing since racialism is a pseudoscience comparable to creationism.

RaceRealist defines human races as follows:

I define ‘race’ as a genetically isolated breeding population.

However, by this definition the only races that might exist are strongly endogamous ethnoreligious groups (that are essentially breeding isolates) like the or (Lancaster) Amish people. Certainly not what RaceRealist has in mind. RaceRealist's concept of a "black" or "white" racial grouping doesn't fit his own definition of race since these are not isolated, nor in fact are they even breeding populations (that tend to be much smaller in size).

Immigration
In a 2016 blog titled "Non-Western People are Abnormal to Our [Western] Societies" and its comments, RaceRealist argues that non-Western immigrants (read: brown people) cannot assimilate into the West and therefore he opposes "non-western" immigration:

In particular, they assert that non-Western immigrants cannot control their rape-y urges due to low IQ and high testosterone:

RaceRealist extends this reasoning to "Negros":

However, he asserts that not all non-Western immigrants are degenerate rapist idiots:

As a result, he supports IQ testing on non-Western immigrants:

Jews and anti-Semitism
RaceRealist asserts that Jews evolved nepotism as a survival trait:

He bizarrely maintains their higher average IQ is partly a product of "breeding with beautiful Roman women a few thousand years ago", for which there exists virtually no evidence:

RaceRealist denies being an anti-Semite, yet supports the views of the virulent anti-Semite and white nationalist Kevin MacDonald and often retweets him, including a tweet where MacDonald argues "white people" have "a genetic interest in their race" to exclude Jews as an out-group.

Pro-Soy Shill
On the bright side, RaceRealist calls out Paul Joseph Watson for claiming that soy feminizes men. Even in this glimmer of light, however, RaceRealist states that "East Asians seem to be adapted to soy". Alas.

View on RationalWiki
I finally made it on "RationalWiki", though it mischaracterizes me as altright and a white nationalist. Twitter contributor "Race Realist Eighty frickin' Eight" wishes to make it absolutely clear that he does not consider himself "altright" and certainly not a "white nationalist". They first, unironically, clarified that the 88 in their username is their birth year. Later, RaceRealist wrote a response titled "My Response to (Ir)RationalWiki", in which they then asserted that the 88 was kept because "it's good to weed out the people who aren't serious about discussion and just look for things to discredit people that are meaningless to the conversation at hand". Right.

RaceRealist has since removed 88 from his Twitter username.

Views on veganism
Trying to get a lady-friend of mine to drop the vegan BS, she says it's "for the animals" and whatnot. it's tough getting through thick skulls.

RaceRealist between 2018 and 2019 was a staunch anti-vegan and was defending the carnivore diet on Twitter. He used to pal around on Twitter with his carnivore friend Travis Statham and Shawn Baker to attack vegans.

He also claimed that veganism causes mental disorders.

Similar to his views on race, RaceRealist quickly changed his views on veganism and now mocks the claims of the carnivore diet on Twitter. As of 2022 he attacks Shawn Baker and calls him a "grifter".
