You might as well have just said "How dare you disagree with my authority, you imbecile!" But even the vox article does not dispute that IQ is not distributed

You might as well have just said "How dare you disagree with my authority, you imbecile!"
But even the vox article does not dispute that IQ is not distributed equally across populations.
> Race differences in average IQ score. People who identify as black or Hispanic in the US and elsewhere on average obtain lower IQ scores than people who identify as white or Asian. That is simply a fact, and stating it plainly offers no support in itself for a biological interpretation of the difference.
The phrasing is funny "identify as black", ok, but they cannot dispute the facts.
Now, given that IQ is distributed in different ways, why, just why, should we interpret this fact: "there are fewer black people in STEM" as evidence of discrimination?
- tptacek 9y agoYou just quoted three sentences from the middle of the article and ignored thousands of words on either side of your quote explaining why that doesn't mean what you claim there's "lots of evidence" it means. Who are you trying to kid? If you had cited any authority here, I guess my argument would come closer to the caricature you provided. But you haven't. Instead, you briefly tried to pretend that my authority was a random Vox article, written by a random Vox pundit, which you are now clear that it is not.
