Make of this what you will. Via Huffington Post:
"Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.
The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood."
The study suggests that people of low intelligence gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, which stress resistance to change. This, in turn, creates the environment for prejudice to flourish. Such ideologies feature "structure and order," which make it easier to comprehend a complicated world.
