For example, many blacks today believe white cops, whites in general are disproportionately hostile or racist towards them and disproportionately target them and cruelly kill them in police shootings, even though objectively this isn't true. Deviations from this norm seem to correlate with the above measures of exploitativeness or psychopathy: blacks and Jews are among the most exploitative according to the above measure, and they are unique in the relative lack of hostility and positive favor they enjoy from out-groups. Blacks and Jews are regarded as uniquely saintly and special by many whites and other out-groups, which short-circuits to a large degree the normal hostility and suspicion they would receive for simply being out-groups. This would make sense since exploitativeness consists of being able to manipulate minds, emotions, feelings. People less adept at such manipulation are going to be less successful at getting out-groups to deviate from the norm of viewing out-groups with hostility and suspicion.

History shows that conscientious, high-IQ groups (e.g., Japanese, Germans) can be brutal, and efficiently so.
