On the Apr. 17, 2024 episode of The Matt Walsh Show, far-right Daily Wire host Matt Walsh claimed that Aboriginal Australians “happen to have, on average, the second lowest IQ of any demographic group on the planet”[…]
In the first segment of his show, Walsh criticized the push by some people — including Australian National University professor Rowena Ball — to “decolonize math”

“So, what do these activists mean when they say they wanna decolonize math, given that the entire idea of decolonizing math is completely incoherent?” Walsh asked. “The Arabs were colonizers too. And why are Australians of all people so interested in promoting this idea?”

“Well one possibility is that, by some estimates as the Twitter account i/o points out, Aboriginal Australians happen to have, on average, the second lowest IQ out of any demographic group on the planet,” he said. Walsh was referring to a post on X by the account @eyeslasho, which is known for spreading racist content

The owner of the account often refers to DEI (or “diversity, equity, and inclusion”) as “DIE” and has stated that “Black men kill other people, white men kill themselves.” In another post they claimed that their goal is “undermining the unhelpful and reality-disconnected sacralization of black people in America by white liberals”

“Now that’s the sort of thing that’s supposed to be unciteable, but it’s impossible to talk about certain groups struggling academically without bringing up the intellectual elephant in the room,” Walsh continued. “I mean there might be a reason why there aren’t many Aboriginals working at NASA, let’s say”

Walsh then insisted that “liberal Westerners” feel “embarrassment” over “the fact that their ancestors were far more advanced in just about every way and by every available measure than the native people they conquered.” He concluded that this is why they want to find ways to “even out the score”
