I feel ya. It's kind of the result of a "learned simple prejudice" (lol) that I assumed he had a high IQ because he was white. Prior to becoming racist I actually did question his intelligence because in high school he had poor grades, especially in math.

I don't consider that conclusive though, because school is pretty gay. I did pretty well in math starting my junior year of high school, but I attribute that to a really good teacher who had sort of a "bootstraps" mentality which inspired me to direct lots of energy into my academics. I valued my academics a LOT. Prior to that in my freshman/sophomore years of high school I barely scraped through algebra with a C or a D. I figured my friend just never had the opportunity to take an interest in academics. And fwiw I ended up getting burnt out on it my last two years of college and was back to getting Bs, Cs, and a few Ds. Which really embarrasses me actually lol. Glad I have a CS degree now but I miss the genuine love for the craft I once had. I was actually quite a happy person.

However those indicators you mention are relevant.
I couldn't tell you how low his iq truly is but I do think it's >100.
