Using formal fallacies to argue for racial hierarchy. Common moves: composition fallacy, false equivalence, circular reasoning about IQ and "race." Example: "The average Black SAT score is lower, so this Black student must be bad at math." That's the composition fallacy—confusing group means with individuals. Rational Racism The claim that if average group differences exist (even partially), then discriminatory policies would be "reasonable." Confuses statistical correlation with moral justification. Example: "Even if the data show lower cognitive scores for Group X, shouldn't we track them separately? That's just rational." No—that's the naturalistic fallacy.
