Is there a measurable intellegence difference between races?
7 replies, posted
It has been noted many times that there are different levels of intelligence between the races. Common stereotypes revolve around these including Asians being of above white intelligence and Sub-Saharan Africans being of below white intelligence. It is most usually put down to environment factors that cause the divergence of average IQ between races, however studies such as the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study"]Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study[/URL] note that even when given the same environment some races still out perform others. This is why i believe there is an intelligence gap between races, I do not however in any way support race supremacy or condone discrimination against races with a lower mean intelligence. I do however believe acknowledgement of the reality will allow measures to be taken which can help shrink the intelligence gap between races. As well as allow for education better tailored to students needs to allow them to get the most out of life. Simply ignoring the situation will not fix it.
What do you hope to achieve by posting racial bias things here on Facepunch?
There have been many accounting of this, one of the most notable was a book by a recently deceased author and scientist.

But you keep making the same racial threads about different subjects (usually very awkward things) and keep getting permabanned. You are literally just wasting your (sad) life since these threads just end up getting locked and you banned .. again.

I only just joined though, I don't see how I could have made threads before this point. Additionally I find it easier to discuss more controversial issues online as opposed to in real life because the anonymity of the online world allows people to truly voice their opinions without fear of backlash and I thought some others may feel the same way. I just want to know the truth and thought we could have a friendly debate regarding these more risque issues which we seldom discuss in person.
There is no intelligence gap. Intelligence is based on upbringing, personality type, a bit of genetic luck and the right timing.

The anonymity of the internet allows people to act like twats and fosters childish namecalling and bickering. If you think it's bad in real life you're in store for quite the shocker discussing such things online.

What makes you so sure?
Additionally you acknowledged that genetics plays a role in intelligence, does this not mean it is possible for some races to, on average, have a genetic make up that provides higher intelligence over another races average genetic makeup?
