Bro on the bike is a white trash liar especially on the whole Africa IQ thing. He is referring to claims made by a debunked scientist called Richard Lynn. "major academic critiques have accused Richard Lynn of deliberate bias and systematic misrepresentation to fit a specific ideological agenda. Independent researchers have found that he consistently selected data that favored his preconceived conclusions while ignoring contradictory evidence. Evidence of Systematic Bias Peer-reviewed analyses by researchers such as Jelte Wicherts identified several patterns suggesting intentional distortion in Lynn's work: Cherry-picking Low Scores: Lynn was found to have systematically excluded studies that showed higher IQ averages in African countries. He reportedly ignored every available study reporting an average IQ above 85 for African samples. Misrepresentation of Samples: In one "egregious" example for Equatorial Guinea, Lynn assigned a national IQ of 59 based on a single study of children who were in a home for the developmentally disabled in Spain, not a representative group from the country itself. Inconsistent Selection Criteria: Critics noted that Lynn's only consistent rule for including a study appeared to be the final score; lower scores were more likely to be included regardless of the sample's health or representativeness. Ideological Motivation Experts and organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) argue that Lynn's work was not impartial science but was motivated by white nationalist and eugenicist ideologies: "Race Realism": Lynn was a long-time advocate of "race science," a fringe field that attempts to use biological data to justify racial hierarchies. Political Agenda: He openly argued that nations with high IQs must "subjugate or eliminate" lower-IQ groups to maintain dominance. He also advocated for the breakup of the U.S. into racial ethno-states and promoted anti-immigration and eugenics policies. Funding Ties: Much of his work was supported by the Pioneer Fund, an organization founded by Nazi sympathizers to promote "race betterment" and white supremacy. Scientific Consequences As a result of these documented flaws, the academic community has largely rejected his datasets: Revoked Status: In 2018, Ulster University revoked Lynn's emeritus status due to the "racist and sexist" nature of his work. Formal Rejection: The European Human Behavior and Evolution Association issued a formal statement in 2020 advising all researchers to stop using Lynn’s data, labeling it "unsound" and "scientifically unreliable". Publisher Reviews: As of late 2024 and 2025, major academic publishers like Elsevier have initiated comprehensive reviews of his published research due to mounting evidence of its "fundamentally flawed" and "misleading" nature.

I found it telling that Michelle confidently quoted the wrong number (79,000) and, when Aiesha corrected her with the accurate figure (47,000), she immediately switched gears to “Where are they?” rather than owning the mistake. That dodge makes me question her judgment. It feels like she’s leaning into fear‑mongering language that easily panics people who aren’t paying attention to nuance — which, sadly, describes most of this comment section. Also, did you see the reply to the Filipino student who voiced frustration? “You guys make up some of the most cleanest restaurants I’ve ever been to.” That kind of response speaks to a lack of respect for international students. To many in the Canadian workforce, international students and migrants are treated as disposable labor — steered toward low‑ and middle‑income jobs. Yes, fraud should be dealt with, but it’s lazy and unfair to claim that all Indians or international students come here through fraud. If that logic ruled, we’d have to start deporting every non‑Indigenous person — which ignores the whole reality of colonization.

I lived in Canada for 11 years, 2008 - 2019, went to university and worked in Toronto. I come from an upper-middle class family in China, went to a top university in Canada, landed good jobs and I speak English like a native. I got my PR in 2015 and I remember the painful uphill battle I had to go through just get that. All the bureaucracy, redtape, unnecessarily rigid rules, high cost and long wait I received from CIC/IRCC felt like a humiliation to me. Every document was scrutinized and every step had obstacle that fealt unreasonable (my TOEFL examiner ask me why I had to do the language test required by CIC, and I had to visit a notary to validate my Chinese national ID card). It felt uneasy but I understood that these were the rules that everyone had to go through, and moving and integrating into a new society was never meant to be easy. I went back to Canada in 2021 and 2024, and it was evident that the country I once called home had gone down the hill. The streets were screaming crime, unemployment, inflation, drug and filth, it's total social rot. As someone who went through the whole immigration process (and many of my friends who went through the same have left Canada for good, like myself), I attribute much of this to failed immigration policy. I cannot help but feel confused, angry, betrayed and humiliated when I look at the recent immigration policies of Canada and their results, and compare with what I had to go through. The feeling sums up to: Canada penalizes the hard-working and law-abiding people, and rewards the undeserved and the cheaters. Example: when the US creates wars in the Middle East, why does CANADA bear the cost of bringing in refugees? I never regretted moving back to China and East Asia, and I feel bad for those who still truly think of Canada as home, as I am one myself. When the leadership of a country deviates from pragmatism, reason and common sense, and instead embraces idealogies, hypocrisy and political optics, this is what happens. The prices are paid by everyone, immigrant or not. For this, Trudeau deserves a court trial for his incompetence and dereliction of duty; and the people of Canada need some honest and serious retrospection. I will share some words of wisdom by the late Lee Kwan Yew: “Whoever governs Singapore (LKY was the PM and founding father of Singapore) must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards, this is your life and mine. I've spent a whole lifetime building this and as long as I'm in charge, nobody is going to knock it down.” I hope the clownish weakling politicians in Canada (and, in much of the western world nowadays) can be enlightened a little bit.
