but for some reason, statistically they don't achieve near as much as other races
We didn't conclude this
Therefore, they must be treated unfairly
But
if it's in their genes
Then it's another story
Once again its perfectly possible to mistreat low IQ people
and further disadvantage them
true but the argument would be weak
There is zero evidence that *being black* affects IQ.
There is
There is no research on it.
Show me.
Melanin doesn't change IQ
ancestry perhaps can
but even if so, IQ goes up with each year of education
I didn't say race caused IQ
thus demonstrating IQ is elastic.
I said race was correlated with IQ
and not inelastic.
Political class and IQ are also correlated
Doesn't mean much
But correlation is mistaken for causation. Widely.
you're mistaking it not me
You need the casual mechanism
Hi
and i'm sorry someone having melanin isn't going to change their IQ
I didnt say causation
but having melanin is correlated with lower IQ
correlated
Sure
does not cause
So what
means nothing
If I, a reasonably educated individual, can be misled by a poor discernment of correlation vs causation... imagine what a low IQ individual would take from our debate... or the points of someone utilizing evidence to push an agenda.

It means there are reasons
Sure
it could be 100% environment
and we're trying to get to the root of these reasons
