You're not really going to have a fair & thorough discussion about this with anyone on this board, including myself admittedlyThose are two distinct things. Interesting you admit that and normally I'd be kinda glad when someone says that in a debate, because then I know I'm not going to get anywhere, but you strike me as being genuinely curious now. Did I expect thorough? No. Fair? Not by all, but by some, at least. In any case, if you ask a legitimate question or pose a legitimate objection, it wouldn't be proper of me to ignore it owing to the inflammatory claims I am making. I didn't know about the relative success of the different races in Brazil at the time of that post and wasn't really implying such. It was in my set of links for evidence of my claims. Richard Lynn published a book titled The Global Bell Curve which contains IQ test results from all over the world and also shows that the racial hierarchy found here in the States is found the world over, and is the same the world over, you find an improvement in IQ scores and wealth and scholastic achievement going from Australian Aborigine/Black -> N. African/S. Asian/Native American/SE Asian/Latino/Pardo/Mulatto -> white -> E. Asian/Ashkenazi Jews no matter where you go. If this were due to environmental factors, why are they THE SAME all over the world? The cards fell the SAME way EVERY time? I was trying to imply that different environments in Brazil & Saharan Africa might be one of the reasons for difference in IQ between Blacks in Africa & Asians in Brazil. The interesting point here is that whatever environment in Brazil, all the different races were exposed to it. Japanese workers were brought in to Brazil to replace the freed black slaves. I'm not going to pretend that the environment is the same for EVERY race even in the same country, but the Japanese came over as poor farm workers and lived initially in squalor in conditions not much better than the black slaves, yet they are doing much better than blacks there today. The same story plays out about tons of immigrants is several countries in the world, such as whites in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, S. Asians in Southern Africa, Chinese in SE Asia, and E. Asians and Jews here in the States. They all started out dirt broke, yet look at them today. You could look around for "non-intelligence factors", but only IQ makes sense as a consistent and thorough explanation for this. |
