black people will naturally tend toward having lower incomes because they are far less intelligent on average
@Death in June This chart doesn't show any of the threat coefficients - the rankings could be almost equal in weight or they could be vastly different - it doesn't tell you
Oh wait, never mind
This chart deliberately muddies the waters for your arguments - there are a significant number of positive and negative indicators on this chart that individually outweigh racial factors
And, taken as a whole, they VASTLY outweigh any sort of solely race-based coefficients
Thanks for proving my point for me, though
<:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>
what point does that prove
this seems to show that black people are in fact more prone to criminal activity
even when controlling for other variables
variables that are partially the result of people's race anyhow
You don't have controlled variables here
like poverty
The coefficient for poverty is almost just as high as the one for "percent black"
and
that doesn't go against the original point
and of course again
being black leads to poverty
But that doesn't really tell the whole story - because there's not a universal definition for poverty
so by separating the variables in this manner we're understating the impact blackness has
Being black does not cause poverty
of course it does
No, dumbass, it doesn't
in general people with lower iq's are less economically successful
The IQ thing is a red herring
black people in america have on average an iq one standard deviation below that of white people
Just want to point out that average stats on large groups of people doesn’t dictate how well different people and culture mix, similar stats can be brought up about left handed people..., provided values are close, non of this stuff really matters to much to allow a nation to stay unified
IQ tests are not the only objective measurement of intelligence
ok
And it's not that clear that people with high IQ scores are even legitimately more intelligent
They may just be better at taking IQ tests
yeah they're better at taking a test that measures your ability to apply abstract reasoning to problems
In the particular method of IQ tests, yes
You could probably make the same observations about people who can clap their hands faster
what observations
About economic success
we don't have the data on the relative hand clapping speed of black and white people
You could make the claim about people with green eyes
Or red hair
so this is irrelevant
