The sad truth is that most of the tests themselves are not biased and that they're merely revealing differences in cognitive capabilities in people of differing races.

The problem isn't that they're not accurate... it's that they're too accurate. For years the SAT correlated too closely with IQ and it raised a flag when that test revealed differences in different races of people.

For each individual it's almost impossible to say why they scored as well or as poorly as they did. But when you average out millions of people and analyze the data the trends are extremely accurate.

But the political correctness trend often conflicts with factual correctness. They want to pretend that every race is equal and that there are no differences in capabilities among races. While I believe that no race is "better" than another I also believe it's foolish to think that every race has the exact same capabilities. So to be PC, you must claim that a test is "racist" if it reveals a hidden truth about members of various races.

Agreed and Dumac gave a good response to the post.

Well, not to get into semantics, but that's not entirely true. Physiologically there are differences of course, but to think one race is inherently less or more intelligent than another is absolutely ludicrous and incredibly ignorant. I do not think banning someone for being ignorant is appropriate, I mean we would lose half of our user base if we did that.

91TTZ does not equal a Nobel Prize winner, especially since he's just a member of a message board.
Methinks you complain too damn often about too damn much.

That's no surprise, but it doesn't necessitate a ban.
Most people here don't know what they are talking about and will argue it to the death. 🙂

Not even worth a warning. He's not being expressly racist, not being vulgar or offensive about it. I think Red Irish needs to learn to deal with the reality that some people will have a different opinion. If Red Irish can't have a civilized, adult conversation with someone, maybe it's time for a reality check.

Guys, race is a social construct, not a physiological one.

That being said, he sure seems stupid, but there are far worse things said on here every day.

I thought that what was said more or less equated to saying "***** are inherently dumber", but if that slides around here, so be it.

Maybe, maybe not. So what if he did? It's his opinion and he's not being derogatory about it. Overly sensitive people for the lose.

Fair enough, as it doesn't seem to bother anyone except me, call it closed.
