"Apparently he does not" is a positive claim ... it does not follow even if you were right about not providing evidence--but you're not. And they can and did provide evidence, you simply ignored it. There are plenty reasons for honest people to believe it. Meanwhile, it's an empirical fact that Lynn is a racist, as well as most "race scientists" and their defenders. I won't comment on this further.

That's simply a lie. They didn't. Nowhere on that website was Lynn quoted as describing himself as a "scientific racist".

> Meanwhile, it's an empirical fact that Lynn is a racist

What would be the evidence for this claim? There could in any case be an association between IQ and East Asian ancestry. Whether there is, is an empirical question, and an empirical hypothesis can't be racist, it is just true or false, or supported/unsupported by the evidence. In the source I provided, Lynn references statistical evidence that supports it.
