Yes, but it's created an interesting asymmetry because brown people know a lot of highly-intelligent white people, but they don't know a lot of us.

Gives us a slight tactical edge in every debate.

They're always... surprised.

The mental assumption of brown people is that all white people are smart and they are surprised when they meet a stupid white person. And vice versa.
