How can you honestly believe that somehow all these people from different areas of Earth evolved to look so different, be different sizes, different strengths, different everything... yet still somehow be 100% equal in regards to intelligence? You don't think it's possible that one group took a slightly different evolutionary path and evolved more intelligence?
Playing the "whitey keeping us down" card only gets you so far. It doesn't explain why some groups turn out to be more intelligent than whites, while others are less intelligent.
I let the test scores speak for themselves. This isn't a fluke. As long as SAT scores have been recorded, certain groups have always done better than others. This is a plain fact, and you can't weasel your way around it. You also can't weasel your way around the fact that no white guy has ever been able to run a sub-10 second 100m dash, while plenty of athletes of Western African descent have been able to do it. People from Kenya seem to dominate marathon events. This isn't a rare occurance, the people from that area are just make better marathon runners.
Can't people read the writing on the wall? Some groups of people that evolved in certain areas of Earth have different capabilities than others. They have their own set of strongpoints/weakpoints.
Now like Dijobi said, I don't know if you'd call that "race", since the categories are way too broad. But you can see that people who evolved in certain areas of Earth do have genetically prevalent strongpoints/weakpoints.

Judge the individual. That is all that matters.

Uhmm....that is because even if you grouped people by race and drew a distribution of their IQs it would essentially be a bell curve. If you overlapped the bell curves created for all the races into one distribution then the medians would all be at a slightly different place but a large part of each distribution would be overlapping a large portion of all the others. Basically you could be around peolple of other races that are on the extreme high end of the distibution for their race or you could be on the extreme low end of the distribution for your race. Your example does not debunk these studies or prove anything except that you don't know much about what you are talking about.

And your obsession with trying to differentiate the intelligence of different racial groups means you are an idiot.... fortunately your furer is dead, and your kind is the exception rather than the rule.

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?Originally posted by: QuitBanningMe
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.

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.

9. Race Differences and the Out-of-Africa theory of Human Origins. East Asian-White-Black differences fit the theory that modern humans arose in Africa about 100,000 years ago and expanded northward. During prolonged winters there was evolutionary selection for higher IQ created by problems of raising children, gathering and storing food, gaining shelter, and making clothes.
According to this theory the groups who travelled the farthest distance from Africa should have higher IQ's. Do IQ results of Native Americans correlate with this theory?

You're too stupid to live... go die in a fire and save all of us from your idiocy.
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.

I hope you realize that means nothing here, we're talking about averages and medians not extremes. No one is debating whether or not there are smart black people; there obviously are, you're one of them. The issue at hand is what the typical black, white, or asian scores on an IQ test. It isn't about how you do or how I do.

Go look at SAT tests results from today. They show the same exact thing: a one standard deviation diffference between blacks and whites in the U.S.
You are a fscking troll, BTW. Leave this discussion to the grownups. What there is no controversy about is the fact that your own IQ is not very high. 🙂

Averages and Medians of arbitrary grouping. It's like getting all the people together who like Eggplant and those that don't and then making a comparison.
Skin color is not an adequate method for categorizing people.
