there's also the studies that say that women and minorities score lower than white men on IQ tests... meaning that the test is racist AND sexist
*plans on kicking the test developers in the nuts someday soon*
I've never heard the part about women scoring lower on average...
I've heard about women not being represented as much at the extreme parts of the distribution (high and low), and these findings seem to be completely understandable if you're willing and able to open your mind, be intellectually honest (I can understand how, not being an NT, this might be difficult for you
), and listen to the explanations as to why.
As for minorities, besides the
potential for inherent racial differences in "intelligence", which, if we're going to be intellectually honest, we should keep our minds open to (I'm not saying there are indeed differences, and I have heard of no study that has actually convinced me of the matter, but I am saying it would be just as close-minded and intellectually dishonest to not be open to the possibility that it's true as it would be to simply say something retarded like, "Minorities are dumber than whites", without any credible evidence of it whatsoever), there can be obvious socioeconomic reasons for any currently observed disparities.
{NOTE: Please read, reread, and then reread that sentence again until you
truly understand it, before you go about thinking I'm a racist and writing some stupid post attempting to allege that fact. I'm not a racist, never have been, have actually been vehemently anti-racist my entire life, my best friend since I was four is Mexican, my group of friends literally looks like the United Nations, and both my family and I expect me to marry someone who's outside my "race". That enough? (Please refrain from ignorant responses.)}
If white people had been enslaved by another society for 400 years, only to be free (and not even entirely, really) from that slavery for 145 years, and had little-to-no capital to build with at the beginning of that 145 years, I wouldn't expect them to score equally on an intelligence test as the group that enslaved them and ran that society for the previous 555 years...
I mean, I'm white as white can be, but I'm not offended that asians score higher on these tests than any other "race", including whites (quotes used to demonstrate that I personally believe race to largely be a social construct, based on certain phenotypal [and even potentially genotypal] differences amongst humans, which will eventually disappear for the most part [at least in America]).
Are we gunna say it's because asians were the ones making the test,
and that the test is thus biased towards asians?
That notion is just retarded...
shhh.....do you think they know that we know that we know what they know?
