Have you ever considered that there's a good reason for that fad?
I just graduated from an elite American college, and almost everyone there was extremely condescending about the idea that race and IQ were at all correlated. They felt similarly about racial culture and success. In these powerful people's eyes, the underperformance of non-White and non-Asian races is ~100% the fault of White people and their machinations.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoIt's telling you created a throwaway to post this. Of course there's a good reason for that fad - scientific racism is a pseudoscience that was created in order to "prove" the inferiority of races and to justify colonialism, slavery, racism, social Darwinism, and racial eugenics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism The correlation between race and IQ is openly "admitted" right there in the into paragraph of the Wikipedia page! If academia is "hiding" it they sure are doing a bad job. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence
- bluthru 10y agoIs there any standardized test where blacks do as well as whites or asians? Did white culture somehow bias the test so that asians score higher than themselves?

I can understand why people would register a throwaway though, considering the blind hostility people like you have in these types of discussions. >The collation between race and IQ is openly "admitted" right there in the into paragraph of the Wikipedia page! Wha? The lead calls it a "contentious debate" and the body cites quality sources that suggest a causal connection.
