Once you accept IQ is genetics, the leap is straightforward

2019-05-02 01:04:09 UTC  

Is IQ really correlated with race?

2019-05-02 01:04:12 UTC  

IQ is genetically cringed*

2019-05-02 01:04:16 UTC  

Correlation is not Causation

2019-05-02 01:04:21 UTC  

Give me a smart black guy and dumb black guy

2019-05-02 01:04:24 UTC  

and tell me if they can't git gud

2019-05-02 01:05:05 UTC  

?

2019-05-02 01:05:12 UTC  

and yes iq is correlated with racew

2019-05-02 01:05:18 UTC  

but I think it's environmental

2019-05-02 01:05:24 UTC  

Also race in general wasn't even a concept of color of skin until some dude ironically named coon invented the 5 Races idea.

2019-05-02 01:05:33 UTC  

It is though

2019-05-02 01:06:05 UTC  

Then why are policies such as affirmative action based on race

2019-05-02 01:06:18 UTC  

It is when we want to advantage black people?

2019-05-02 01:06:26 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-02 01:06:30 UTC  

Everyone accepts race

2019-05-02 01:06:44 UTC  

And it seems some race have higher IQ

2019-05-02 01:06:45 UTC  

Not anthropologists

2019-05-02 01:06:52 UTC  

not biologists.

2019-05-02 01:07:02 UTC  

Well most people accept the concept of race

2019-05-02 01:07:16 UTC  

doesn't make it useful nor scientifically true

2019-05-02 01:07:29 UTC  

Why is it used in affirmative action?

2019-05-02 01:07:40 UTC  

Because its a political class of people who are and were oppressed

2019-05-02 01:07:52 UTC  

its not practical to look at their ancestry

2019-05-02 01:08:00 UTC  

on an individual basis.

2019-05-02 01:08:15 UTC  

Race wasn't even considered as color of skin until 1779 when Blumenbach proposed them in The Anthropological Treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.

2019-05-02 01:08:28 UTC  

Its all a social construct.

2019-05-02 01:08:35 UTC  

What we know is that generally, black people were and are treated unfairly in America.

2019-05-02 01:08:40 UTC  

Ok

2019-05-02 01:08:41 UTC  

Especially with regards to education

2019-05-02 01:08:49 UTC  

We also know that generally, black people have lower IQ

2019-05-02 01:08:52 UTC  

Schools in black area's will just be worst by virtue of having less funding

2019-05-02 01:09:00 UTC  

Not generally, statistically.

2019-05-02 01:09:04 UTC  

Yes true

2019-05-02 01:09:13 UTC  

Libertarians also have higher IQ's

2019-05-02 01:09:18 UTC  

than any other political group

2019-05-02 01:09:22 UTC  

You can't use race sometimes and deny it when you don't like it

2019-05-02 01:09:31 UTC  

How is that relevant?

2019-05-02 01:09:48 UTC  

Yes you can, I deny race as a scientific category

2019-05-02 01:09:55 UTC  

while also admitting it does exsist as a political group

2019-05-02 01:10:01 UTC  

and a descriptive group

2019-05-02 01:10:04 UTC  

Like red heads
