The "slavs" that are cited in the study are mostly of Roma origin and are not Slavic by ethnicity, only by passport. Eastern and Central Europeans aren't low IQ. My country, Bulgaria, for example, has I think, according to the data a national IQ of 98 and also quite unimpressive PISA results, which are below the European standard, yet we have some of the highest medal counts in STEM olympiads in the world(Informatic and math being our strong suit). This discrepancy can be attributed to the Roma population of much lower IQ(same as the Indian one) being mixed together with the rest in the nationwide IQ studies, and not being differentiated as their own proper ethnic group within the country.

Hi Emil, is there a way to allow comments for article on your personal web site? I came here because I usually read on emilkirkegaard.dk. But I cannot comment there.

Anyways, I'm not sure if you know about the case of Jason Richwine. He was fired after a woke mob found out that he wrote his PhD thesis at Harvard on "IQ and immigration policy". He argues (with data of course) that the low Hispanic IQ is having a negative effect on the US economy. You can find his thesis online.
