IMO that’s tangential and misses the point. What you believe about the average of a group is not the same as whether you think individuals in that group should be evaluated on the merits and not based on the group.

I believe in individual, merit-based evaluation. If you do not, then you are racist. That doesn’t mean you are “bad” or should be canceled or any of that bullshit. But it does mean you consent (whether you admit it or not) to being evaluated on the basis of YOUR group, not your individual behavior. And be careful — because the group to which you are assigned might not just be based on race, could be religion, whether you injected yourself on command with pharmaceutical chemicals or any other basis by which you might be categorized. Once you green-light collectivism you’ve opened the door to hell.
