Black-White-East Asian IQ differences at least 50% **

i still don't get why everyone in the thread seems to think there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying asians are shorter or asian men have smaller penises and yet is highly offensive to even imply that black people are not as intelligent.

why is it generalizations only against black people are offensive?

It's not racist. IQ tests used to be very common in America. A half century of evidence from schools, businesses, the millitary, etc. has white IQs at around 100 and black IQs at 85. These IQ tests dissappeared in the 1970's in response to political pressure, because the highlighted the gaps between different races. Still, pretending that it doesn't exist hasn't made it go away. In SAT tests (which correlate with IQ tests) you see a similar gap between blacks and whites.

He is right. Read the thread I posted earlier. A lady had to fight to get her black child an IQ test. They had been done away with during the civil right era.

And again this is where oversimplification becomes racist. There are groups of Asians who are quite tall, and there are groups of Africans who are quite short.

True, but now you're getting overly specific. Would it be fair to say that if you took all the Asians in the world, their avg height would be shorter than that of all Africans as a whole?

This is a perfect example of how dangerous the politically correct movement really is....attack someone and the facts when the truth does not support what you think it should. I have always said that if there was emphatic scientific proof of a difference in intelligence based on races that it would be attacked, labeled racially motivated, declared false and then buried somewhere along with Jimmy Hoffa.

Nice response. You've stunned me with your debating skills, evidence, and logic. :roll:

Read some of this guy's articles. He writes a lot of articles on IQ:

http://www.isteve.com/Articles_IQ.htm

Back in the day, some businesses used to give people IQ tests before hiring them. But that's rare nowadays, except in the millitary which still uses them. IQ tests invariably bring up the uncomfortable topic of racial IQ differences. So instead businesses like Microsoft and the big Wall Street investment banks give people brain teasers and riddles to solve during interviews. There's no paper trail there like there is with an IQ test, so you don't get accused of bias.

The same thing I say to the fact that East Asians generally have a higher IQ. Nothing really.

I am curious as to wether those few extra points will ever matter or if it already does.

so you're telling me that black people (genetic mix with white black and native american) are somehow generally less intelligent than white people, because of IQ tests back in the 60s when racism was an institutionalized phenomenon? And you expect me to buy that and respect your stupidity? You've interacted with black people and you can really believe this to be the case? Wow... I'm amazed... you're actually sitting here suggesting that black people are somehow 15% less intelligent than white people? WOW.... just wow...

seriously go die alone somewhere.

and to the other person with the IQ clearly of less than 65....ronstang.... what facts has he presented? And the idiotic link to a guy who is clearly as biased as all hell is totally stupid and irrelevant... you should go die somewhere too.

haha yeah, i read to the second second sentence and just stopped reading. that article isn't worth my time, and my time isn't worth very much.

It wasn't bad. It was possibly "revealing" and I would like to continue to post.


Revealing of what? I guess I am missing something. I would take a vacation from here before I curbed my opinion to keep my priveleges. PM me if you want, I won't tell anyone.

Yes. Sorry.
I've interacted with Asians and find them to be on average more capable of learning.

Also notice that this is not just a study from the 60s. Every study I have ever read on the subject comes to the same conclusion.
 
even if the stuff written in that articles are fact, there is little doubt that it would offend people on the butt end of the truths, and thus in tact, this shouldn't have been posted. Especially since white people would be insulted.
 
Uh I don't know if I can find it anymore but there was a study that they did on people from a remote village in India or Pakistan. They took some children who grew up in the village and some children whos parents migrated to England and were born in England and compared their IQs. The children in the remote village who pretty much farmed and worked the land had an average IQ of 85. The children who went through the British educational system had average IQ's of like 100 or greater and this was only after one generation. I know Indians are not black but I think this is an interesting study. I don't think race has anything to do with intelligence. Oriental societies breed children to do like 8 hours of homework every day. They have horrendous social skills and athletic skills. Of course Orientals are going to have high IQ's. Black culture in America is overwhelmingly based around athletics and schoolwork isn't given as much credence. Africa is very underdeveloped to this day. I think people are trying to make something out of nothing.

Link to study?

Were they tested at the same age? Same test?

Also many of the things you mention are likely to contribute to the ability to reach potential. It won't change the average.

Interesting because many professors I know, mainly Indian and Caucasian have noticed that Asians in general are very bad at abstract thinking. They are not good at essays or creative writing and in general their coding is very structured but lacking independent thought. I personally just think this is due to their culture. But I would assume that you would think this is a genetic trait. Is the Asians lack of strength and athletic ability also a genetic trait?

Did you really read the study or follow links to sources. It basically says the same thing as the study in the OP.

It says IQ is half genetic. If genetics had anything to do with it wouldn't the scores of the children who were moved to Britain still be lower than that of the native population?

Edited for clarity.
