Race and IQs

[Alexmahone]

I think they've compared blacks of high socio-economic status with whites of low socio-economic status and found that the whites still had higher mean IQ's.

I'd like to see that.

I googled it. http://thealternativehypothesis.org/inde...d-poverty/

Summary: In this post, I am going to look at how well differences in socio-economic status can explain racial IQ differences. First, we will see that affluent Blacks score lower than poorer Whites and Asians on tests of cognitive ability. Second, it will be seen that the Black/White IQ gap is highest among the rich and lowest among the poor. Third, it will be shown that the Black/White SES gap has fallen dramatically over the last 100 years while the Black/White IQ gap has not. And finally, it will be seen that most of the Black/White IQ gap remains when holding SES constant. Over all, it will be concluded that SES probably explains only a small portion of the Black/White IQ gap.

More interesting would be to compare the mean IQ's of men and women. Reports that they happen to be exactly equal are probably not credible. After all, men have larger brains even after adjusting for body size.

At this point, I can answer your OP Q.  Yes, it;s racist, lol.

I guess it would be if I wasn't South Asian myself. It's good to be exonerated by the low mean IQ of your own race.
