But the piece, ultimately, tries for a "nurture" explanation for the facts on Nobel prizes, etc. Basically Eastern European Jews have had to rely on the intangible because they keep having the tangible taken away. Citing this paper for the IQ stat is certainly sloppy, but racist because the author is? I assume the NYT has an editor (two maybe?) that read the piece before publication. Are they racist?

I don't think I would jump to calling Bret Stephens a racist, but this is a good response to him. When people like him conflate opposition to Israel's policies with anti-Semitism, they cheapen anti-anti-Semitism.
