Race and IQs

[Edwardo Piet]

It's only racist if you believe that a race is superior to other races because of the difference in IQ.

Africans have darker skin than Caucasians. It's not racist to point that out or acknowledge that fact. It is racist if you believe that lighter skinned people are superior because of their skin color, or vice versa.

I'd also like to point out that not only does intelligence not necessarily make someone superior but I do NOT think IQ tests are an accurate indicator of intelligence. Intelligence is a lot more sophisticated than the ability to pass multiple choice IQ tests within a given time limit. My parents have very high IQs (my dad's is 154 and my mom's is 161) and they both know I'm a lot smarter than they are but I can't be arsed with IQ tests. One I did before had a lot of geometry questions and my visual thinking is appalling. That doesn't make me logically unintelligent. I'm also a slow thinker and these things are timed. But being a slow thinker doesn't make you a bad thinker. I ended up getting the minimum possible score because I didn't finish it within the time limit. Does that make me learning disabled? LOL No way lol. Unanswered questions aren't fails, that's silly.

I would contend that if everybody had equal access to fulfillment of their needs, the differences would be slight.

That's not really the point though. Accepting the fact that there are differences between the races doesn't make you a racist.

I mean for starters does admitting that asians have higher IQs than whites make me a self-hating white person? No, lol.
