I just finished your pop quiz. I passed as a prehistoric white male but failed as a moden human being. I'm ashamed to tell you my score, but I feel just awful and so white with guilt that I glow and shimmer when I stand in sunlight.
I have a question, professor. In your opinion, is IQ statistically correlated with race? I have read Dr Murray's conclusions on that, which also make me feel guilty. I may just be too damn smart for my own good.
How about a correlation between race and self-defense? And toxic masculinity? It may just be that I feel so much guilt because I'm too white, too smart, too masculine and too skilled at staying alive. "Ah, ah, ah, ah. Stayin alive! Stayin alive!"
BTW: I wonder if sarcasm correlates with race, intelligence, masculinity, survivalism, and guilt.
They say correlation isn't causation, so I guess there's some hope for me if I get anti-racist counselling and take my meds.
If I understand it, adaptation leads to evolution, so that biological fitness of the species requires short-term apatation to environment, habitat and threat, which adaptation leads to long-term genetic changes for better functioning and survival. Thus, it seems that the human species is in a slow death spiral toward evolutionary extinction if humans are socially constrained from making necessary adaptations.
From this I conclude a) that stereotyping the common sources and prevalent types of biological threat is both a rational and an instinctual matter of survival of the species, not a racialist matter of unwarranted cultural bias, and b) that self defense is a natural human right, not a racial prerogative.
Dear Professor Briggs:

I didn't fall for your trap, I didn't answer any of the questions because I knew that any answer I gave, as a white male, would make me a racist.
So - now you know how Blacks feel when they are expected to learn math and take whitey-designed tests! : }
