Good Lord, we have another troll. Anyways, since everyone else is doing it, why don't I? I'm Irish, Scottish, French, English, Dutch, Cherokee, Slovak, Italian, and probably Jewish. My last name is Melton; an English name that came over with the Norman invasion. There's a type of fabric named Melton, and a town (Melton-Mowbray) in Leicestershire, England. Anne of Cleves was given a townhouse there by Henry VIII after he divorced her and some drunk aristocracy literally painted the town red, giving us the saying today. A Melton also came over to the doomed Roanoke colony. I think his name was Thomas? I can't remember. I had to do a project a few years back on my geneology.
Yes, as it is biased and incorrect. You need information from an objective point of view to be taken seriously in this matter. As there are no conclusive results (biased studies done over one hundred years ago) to support your statement - all you are saying is a matter of opinion. Whether that opinion is valid or not...I am leaning towards not.
Statistically, black people on average score one standard deviation less than whites on IQ tests, and asians score one standard deviation higher. of course, that is pretty much meaningless.
I was referring to the Victorian studies of recapitulation and whatnot. I think those scores have a lot to do with cultural attitudes. Speaking generally here (and I hate to do that): Asians are more prone to study (look at their schooling system), while African-American's don't recieve quality education. I bet if you looked hard enough you could find an African-American who comes from an intense study home who scores one SD higher, and visa versa with someone of Asian descent. But you're right, it is meaningless. Who cares about the IQ levels of different races?
Oh dear god. If I didn't have better things to do, I'd report you. The only reason why I am going along with this, is cause I am procrastinating.
*laughs* Then you should be my friend! Wasn't it the Nazi's that killed people of different opinions? Alan, is that you?
