Is it racist to point out that races have different iq's ?

No, a fact cannot be racist. Racism is discrimination based on race. I see no way how stating a simple fact is discriminating a particular race.

Please don't make any threads in the future.

No race is naturally smarter or dumber than another. Millions of blacks live in poverty, lack basic needs, and don't have quality education, so this will obviously affect intelligence. East Asians aren't smarter just because they're Asian; they're smart because their cultures value education a lot.

I think that too many people in this thread are trying to ignore the fact that black people, white people, and Asiansare different. Why do you think that black people are way better at foodball, basketball, track, etc and white people are way better at swimming, long distance running, etc. Its because they are different, black people have a higher center of gravity allowing them to sprint faster and jump higher. White people have a lower center of gravity allowing them to swim with less of thier body in the water and have more slow twitch muscle fiber so they run better over long distances.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that genetic difference would lead to differences in IQ also. Intelligence is very genetic and it make sense that groups with different genetics would have a different makeup of their brain, leading to one group being more intelligent (ON AVERAGE) or at least better at what is asked on IQ tests.

I've meet a Bangladesh man who are qualify to be a doctor... and yet he work at the construction site..... sometimes Opportunities >>> I.Q

There's nothing racist about pointing out statistics, that's just relaying facts. What conclusions you derive from those statistics is another storyEJ902

And sadly this took 3 pages.

The way I see it smaller the penis higher the IQ, think about it.

You would be wrong to say some races are more intelligent than others. While testing hs shown many times that whites an asians score higher on IQ TESTS, this does not mean that they any one race is necessarily smarter than one or the other. An IQ test is bassically just testing your ability to take that kind of test. If the test had originated and evolved in say an african american culture it could have very different results.

Well the average Ethiopian has lower IQ than a normal gorilla, so I can believe it.

Mhm, too bad we are all raised to believe our value and intelligence= our letter grades

Mozelleple112

This is true. Elves are more intelligence than orcs and often have magica bonuses but orcs often get strength bonuses. I usual play with a human character because they often have the most balanced starting attributes.

No. It is NOT racist.

Human races/ethnicities are basically the same as Dog breeds.

Why is it okay to measure a dog or cat's personality and ability by their breeds

but not our race?

and yes, Humans are animals(creatures).

That's easily a case of correlation instead of causation.Tylendal

How is it easily a case of correlation not causation? Sure, there are lots of factors which effect intelligence, but don't be so quick to rule out race.

If it's true there's a genetic link to intelligence then it's likely there's going to be intelligence disparities between the different races because of the different traits valued by different cultures. Intelligence would have a better chance of propagating in some societies while other, poorer nations which rely on farming and hunting will favor traits which make good farmers and hunters.

[QUOTE="Marth6781"][QUOTE="Jacobistheman"] There are anatomical reasons that the average black person is better at basketball than the average white person. The reason that Jewish people were know for being good at basketball is because basketball became popular in the Jewish culture before it became mainstream so everyone who played a lot was Jewish, once it got popular and everyone started playing it, black people started to stand out.

I'm asian and I failed to get into university. What's your speculation on my penis size?

P.S. According to a i09 link Asians have a few per cent more neanderthal genetic relations than Europeans whilst Africans have absoloutely zero. I thought Neanderthals were suppose to be dumb?

That is very racist to say

its not racist but its not fair, you got races that were enslaved and were discouraged to learn how to read and write.

Enunciating statistical data is racism?

Humanity is doomed.

Listen, intelligence is mostly based off of environmental factors anyway. And IQ tests are not a very substantial measurement of intelligence in this regard. I would hope that most of you know that the human brain is more complected then a simple test can measure.

Well the definition of racism is "Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.". So by definition, yes, that is textbook racism lol.

It's obviously a social/cultural issue and not a genetic one. It's plain as day. On average, Asians put more effort towards their education, so obviously on average they would be more educated.KHAndAnime
