As such, you'd work to equalize it

2019-05-02 01:20:37 UTC  

How

2019-05-02 01:20:39 UTC  

Affirmative action is simply the recognition of unfair treatment

2019-05-02 01:20:41 UTC  

Racism?

2019-05-02 01:20:44 UTC  

Its not dealing with race and IQ

2019-05-02 01:20:50 UTC  

Mmh

2019-05-02 01:20:50 UTC  

this is true.

2019-05-02 01:21:04 UTC  

Racism typically isn't justified on the basis of IQ, just them being outside of their out group

2019-05-02 01:21:06 UTC  

Affirmative action overlooks context in my observation.

2019-05-02 01:21:18 UTC  

Well let me try to explain my point of view

2019-05-02 01:21:42 UTC  

We concluded that black people are being treated unfairly by society because of the following reasons

2019-05-02 01:21:55 UTC  

They are as intelligent as other races

2019-05-02 01:22:15 UTC  

but for some reason, statistically they don't achieve near as much as other races

2019-05-02 01:22:20 UTC  

We didn't conclude this

2019-05-02 01:22:24 UTC  

Therefore, they must be treated unfairly

2019-05-02 01:22:29 UTC  

But

2019-05-02 01:22:33 UTC  

if it's in their genes

2019-05-02 01:22:39 UTC  

Then it's another story

2019-05-02 01:22:55 UTC  

Once again its perfectly possible to mistreat low IQ people

2019-05-02 01:23:02 UTC  

and further disadvantage them

2019-05-02 01:23:19 UTC  

true but the argument would be weak

2019-05-02 01:23:21 UTC  

There is zero evidence that *being black* affects IQ.

2019-05-02 01:23:28 UTC  

There is

2019-05-02 01:23:30 UTC  

There is no research on it.

2019-05-02 01:23:33 UTC  

Show me.

2019-05-02 01:23:36 UTC  

Melanin doesn't change IQ

2019-05-02 01:23:44 UTC  

ancestry perhaps can

2019-05-02 01:24:02 UTC  

but even if so, IQ goes up with each year of education

2019-05-02 01:24:10 UTC  

I didn't say race caused IQ

2019-05-02 01:24:11 UTC  

thus demonstrating IQ is elastic.

2019-05-02 01:24:16 UTC  

I said race was correlated with IQ

2019-05-02 01:24:17 UTC  

and not inelastic.

2019-05-02 01:24:32 UTC  

correlation does not equal causation

2019-05-02 01:24:33 UTC  

Political class and IQ are also correlated

2019-05-02 01:24:53 UTC  

Doesn't mean much

2019-05-02 01:24:59 UTC  

But correlation is mistaken for causation. Widely.

2019-05-02 01:25:09 UTC  

you're mistaking it not me

2019-05-02 01:25:23 UTC  

You need the casual mechanism

2019-05-02 01:25:30 UTC  

Hi

2019-05-02 01:25:33 UTC  

and i'm sorry someone having melanin isn't going to change their IQ

2019-05-02 01:25:42 UTC  

I didnt say causation
