Being more intelligent does not stop people being racist – it simply makes them better at covering it up

A study has found that they were just as likely to be prejudiced as their less educated peers but did not act on their feelings. Or, more accurately, did not naively express their beliefs, while still acting upon them. For example, the intelligent are more likely to send their children to, say, Sidwell Friends School than to a D.C. public school.
