BORDERS MATTER
@Default™ We're not at that point yet with her
I mean
race objectively doesn't matter
<:brainlet:487682295889920016>
unless you're just scared by non-white people, I guess
That's because you view race as skin color and other's don't, but we're far from able to argue this point with each other
it's economics, education, and ideology which matters
Well, race is essentially only skin deep
Let's not argue this point right now because it's going to go nowhere

@SilverLining Transracial adoption studies

that IQ is a pretty damn terrible way to measure intelligence
<:brainlet:487682295889920016>

It's narrow, yes
No, it isn't.
Look at the...
"Termites", were they?
The best and brightest - those with California's highest IQs, as decided by state administered tests
They turned out... okay... Average, mostly
But some of those passed up actually achieved greater feats
I'm not going to argue this
but yeah, beyond the failure's of terman
What I will point out, however
and IQ in general
is that by any metric
