Yes, since my descent into my dotage has not yet completed, I was aware of these points. I think. What were we talking about?

Amusingly enough, some of the best haircuts I've ever received have come from black barbers in 'hood barbershops. Despite my Southern European hair.

It's a shame that racial differences on standard IQ tests is such a taboo subject for discussion. I would be fascinated to see how the groups who test poorly would do on measures of the other types of intelligence. But I imagine applying for a grant to study such things would be problematic.

Genetic differences between the races are obviously not a social construct. The belief these differences reflect superiority or inferiority, on the other hand, is one.

Race is a social construct? Sounds ridiculous. After all, you can see differences in skin color. - 17/11/2024 12:47:57 AM 41 Views
