You realize the type of people who typically conduct these studies lean left most of the time? Besides, these types of social studies typically have such a broad definition of "racism" or "homophobic" or "sexist" that it could literally include almost anyone. I have seen these studies done by political sciences and psychologists, and when you look deep you can usually find several flaws in how they measure things in order to make it biased toward what they believe. I say both far right and far left people are morons. That being said, in my life I have to say left wingers are typically the less intelligent whereas businessmen and people who are successful tend to lean right.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2095549/Right-wingers-intelligent-left-wingers-says-controversial-study--conservative-politics-lead-people-racist.html
Here are some facts.
- Children with low intelligence grow up to be prejudiced
- Right-wing views make the less intelligent feel 'safe'
- Analysis of more than 15,000 people
Right-wingers tend to be less intelligent than left-wingers, and people with low childhood intelligence tend to grow up to have racist and anti-gay views, says a controversial new study.
Conservative politics work almost as a 'gateway' into prejudice against others, say the Canadian academics.The paper analysed large UK studies which compared childhood intelligence with political views in adulthood across more than 15,000 people.The authors claim that people with low intelligence gravitate towards right-wing views because they make them feel safe.
Crucially, people's educational level is not what determines whether they are racist or not - it's innate intelligence, according to the academics.
