>According
to the report of a 1996 APA task force regarding the US gaps,
socioeconomic status (SES) cannot account for all of the observed
racial-ethnic group differences in IQ. Their first reason for this
conclusion is that the black-white test score gap is not eliminated when
individuals and groups are matched on SES. Second, excluding extreme
conditions, nutritional and biological factors that may vary with SES
have shown little effect on IQ. Third, the relationship between IQ and
SES is not simply one in which SES determines IQ, but differences in
intelligence, particularly parental intelligence, also cause differences
in SES, making separating the two factors difficult.[4]
Rushton
and Jensen argue that controlling for SES only reduces the black-white
gap by a third or 5 points. If there are racial genetic differences,
then this figure is overstated since part of the differences in parental
SES are due to differences in parental IQ. Furthermore, they argue, an
environment-only explanation predicts that the IQ gap would be smaller
at higher levels of parental SES since these children would be less
exposed to the environmental factors lowering IQ. However, the gap is
actually larger at higher parental SES levels. They also point to
studies finding higher average IQ for East Asians, American Indians, and
Inuit with similar or worse SES than blacks. Comparing black and white
children for the geographical areas of their homes, the schools they
attend, and other finer grade socioeconomic indicators found that the
black children from the best areas and schools (those producing the
highest average scores) still average slightly lower on IQ than the
white children with the worst socioeconomic factors.
There's a
direct correlation between intelligence and violence. On average black
people are less intelligent and more violent. They're clearly superior
at athletics though. Races are inherently different, just get over it. |
