- description: Because believing in special creation of humanity at one point would be an actual position. If they believed in that, or that human evolution regarding brain function had zero regional variation over the past 200,000 years (despite differences in brain size and the relative size of brain structures), that would be a real position that could be set against the idea that evolution happened as it happens in all other animals with such a profound dispersion around the globe. Race and Alcoholism: http://www.teachervision.fen.com/alcoholism/substance-abuse/145.html - Hey, maybe white people's IQs are artificially depressed due to their high alcoholism, and the racial IQ gaps would be even wider if this environmental disparity - and all of it's epigenetic effects - were controlled for. WHY HAVEN'T YOU EGALITARIANS ACCOUNTED FOR THIS! Race (and region) and Breastfeeding: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/news/20100325/racial-gap-in-us-breastfeeding-rates Breastfeeding rates all over the world: http://www.childinfo.org/breastfeeding_overview.html - Oh look, SS Africa has a higher breastfeeding rate than the countries surveyed in the CIS. How many IQ points is the CIS losing because they're not breastfeeding as much relative to SS Africa? Voucher Studies Show little effect on academic performance: http://www.cep-dc.org/cfcontent_file.cfm?Attachment=Usher%5FVoucher%5F072711%2Epdf - It's one thing to say differences in schools could explain observed group differences. Differences in nutrition also COULD have an effect. The question is whether or not they DO. Stereotype Threat: Lab world versus real world: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~twei/papers/sthreat_exper.pdf http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~twei/papers/sthreat_naep.pdf The "Challenge" of Stereotype Threat for the Testing Community: http://www.ets.org/Media/Research/pdf/RM-08-12.pdf - No, the only "challenge" is with your hypothesis. Get rid of your shit hypothesis and the "challenge" goes away. Look, a giant social construct: http://www.velesova-sloboda.org/archiv/pdf/lynn-race-differences-in-intelligence.pdf The social construct is so powerful that it actually bends material reality. This mass psychic energy of belief in race differences has actually caused the groups we think are races to have differently sized crania! Race and Stress: http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress-exec-summary.pdf Scroll down to the bottom and take a look there. To the egalitarian: what proportion of the IQ gaps and income gaps are attributable to, for example, hispanics being 8% more likely than whites to worry about money? If all of this was equalized, what would be the effect on IQ, SAT scores, income levels, savings rate, and violent crime rate? Epigenetics has effects. Okay, so maybe if these epigenetic effects were controlled for, the average white american IQ would be 110 instead of 100 (except that the white score is always set to 100 and everything else is normed off of that, but you know what I mean)? Maybe the racial gaps are artificially narrow because white people are oppressed from the schools inculcating that they're privileged and the cause of all the world's problems? If they were taught more balanced history, maybe the black-white gaps would be even wider. WHY HAVEN'T YOU ACCOUNTED FOR THIS POSSIBILITY! Look at this shit: http://www.echt.chm.msu.edu/blockiii/Docs/RecRead/RaceEthnicDiff.pdf "Since race and ethnicity are socially, as opposed to biologically, constructed categories, variation in psychological distress across racial and ethnic subpopulations can be viewed as a function of social and cultural experiences that produce varying exposure to stressors, as well as abilities to cope with them." Oh, well since gender is socially, as opposed to biologically, constructed, variation in psychological distress based on gender can be viewed as a function of social and cultural experiences that produce varying exposure to stressors, as well as abilities to cope with them. Basically this article takes genetic equality as it's starting point, looks at different health outcomes, and then asserts "social" and "culture" are causing the differences. It's beautiful, because if the races have different innate physiologies, they will have different health outcomes when placed in a similar environment, thus ensuring different health outcomes, which becomes an evergreen source of "racism" claims. Look, tall parents have tall kids. That's the power of "culture" right there. Tall people are treated a certain way, we shouldn't just assume that this treatment has no effect on their height. Because in a lab we starved and beat some kids and they grew up shorter than a control group. And over time average height has increased several inches! I'll call this the Brynn effect. Females also eat less. When you control for caloric intake, as groups, male and female height differences disappear!
