<h2>Racial Truth is not pleasant</h2>
<p>Human Stupidity gets attacked by some of our friends for the race realistic issues. People think we have an axe to grind, to prove white supremacy. No. First of all, Asians are supremely intelligent. And second, Human-Stupidity stands for truth, no matter how unpopular. Like many race realists, we would love Blacks to as successful, rich, intelligent, and low crime as Asians. </p>
<p><strong>May the US inner cities flourish, may Africa surpass Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China. May African immigrants in Europe contribute to the advancement of physics and medicine and win Nobel prizes.</strong> The way Jews did.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in spite of all well intent, this does not happen. See <a href="http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/authors/Hoste-AA.html" target="_blank">Affirmative Action injustice at Law Schools.</a></p>
<h2>Mistaken arguments of race egalitarians</h2>
<p>The next girl is not only pretty, she also has very interesting well founded opinions. But miserably fails on <a href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence" target="_blank">race and IQ</a> issues. She is an example for the fallacy of politically correct thought. If you really know the topics, you can see the fallacies. If not, read my posts and the lengthy discussions about <a href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence" target="_blank">race and iq</a>.</p>

<p>xxxThePeachxxx in another convinced example of <a href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/political-correctness-stupid-dogma" target="_blank">political correctness</a>. For the well informed, she shows lot of negative examples of anthropology fallacies and PC. The typical argument that interbred half breeds prove that pure bred dog or human races does not exist. And being funded by the Pioneer fund makes results biased. But being at a politically correct anthropology department would not bias results?</p>
<p>The arguments are far off, but so are the arguments of valued researchers like Graves. You may skip this video, it is not very intelligent, but typical of the fanatic majority.</p>

<p>Greyhounds are racing dogs. Sausage dogs (Dachshund) are labeled bad runners. Of course, this prejudice is socially constructed and has no foundation in rality. Race is only skin deep. From birth on, parents and dog owners are indoctrinated that they can not run well.. Remedial running classes and&#160; sausage quotas in races are needed to right past discriminatory wrongs.</p>
<p><a href="http://human-stupidity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/miniature-dachshunds-300x200.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 4px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="miniature-dachshunds-300x200" border="0" alt="miniature-dachshunds-300x200" src="http://human-stupidity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/miniature-dachshunds-300x200_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="164" /></a></p>
<p>In reality, Sausage dogs are born with the same running capacity as greyhounds. Saying otherwise is racist.</p>

<h4>Sausage dogs discriminated in dog racing</h4>
<p>The following video shows a a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NX6wIyHdBs&amp;feature=player_embedded#at=14" target="_blank">Sausage dog (Dachshund) race</a></p>

<p>
<hr />Once sausage dogs overcome social prejudice, they will be able to compete in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NX6wIyHdBs" target="_blank">Greyhound Race</a>. As there are many more sausage dogs then greyhounds, a 50% quote for sausage dogs in dog races is only fair to remedy centuries of discriminatory practices.</p>

<h4>Pigmy quotas needed in Olympic races</h4>

<p>Similarly, pigmies grow up being indoctrinated they can not win Olympic marathons or 100 m dashes. Of course, with affirmative action and special remedial running classes, this can be remedied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[      
      <p>In video 9, Rushton is extremely convincing and, sorry, Graves and others sound embarrassingly like fools. You could hear the spectators giggling about some of the contorted evasive answers. Race does not exist. Asked if they had 100 Chinese in a shower, 100 Kenyans in a shower, 100 Englishmen. Can they identify which is which? They still could somehow argue how they could not sort this out. EgalitarianJay, thank you very much for these videos. They are very informative. I will watch them all. From what I have seen so far, they make me much more certain in my conviction. If these arguments is all they can come up with, then there is no way to refute Rushton. I have a hard time how serious scientist can fudge and fumble like Rushton&#8217;s opponents and still be taken seriously.<object style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 390px"><param NAME="movie" VALUE="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnJRtK2jBEE?version=3" /><param NAME="allowFullScreen" VALUE="true" /><param NAME="allowScriptAccess" VALUE="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnJRtK2jBEE?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>Asked about exactly our example Koreans or Africans adopted by white middle class parents, Graves had the balls to argue that they live in a different environment, because there is a societal expectation for blacks to underachieve. a) For someone who says &quot;race does not exist&quot; this is quite amazing. If they can not discern the different races, how can they discriminate? b) all these claims without scientific proof. Test your hypotheses scientifically, Dr. Graves. Is this just me who sees a University professor Rushton present clear research against a bunch of embarrassingly unscientific guys defending indefensible hypotheses?
<p>Here is a playlist of the entire Rushton-Graves discussion about Race and IQ. Interesting summary of facing off the ideological opponents to Rushton&#8217;s theory. See all the videos in one piece here.<object width=480 height=385><param NAME="movie" VALUE="http://www.youtube.com/p/DC0F78B62A560851?hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" /><param NAME="allowFullScreen" VALUE="true" /><param NAME="allowscriptaccess" VALUE="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/DC0F78B62A560851?hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DC0F78B62A560851">http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DC0F78B62A560851</a> </p>
<p>Accidentally, one video got in there from another discussion. I left it in, because it actually contributes to the discussion and is a refreshing variation. Rushton mentioned the <strong>temperament</strong> differences that make racial peace and acceptance difficult. I focussed too much on IQ. He explained that demands of cold winter required special planning, a new strategy that was not required before leaving Africa. The worst winters were in Africa </p>

It is easily forgotten: Human-Stupidity is not really about the scientific discussion and solution of racial theories. We are most interested in unconsciousness, blindness, dogmatism.</p>
<p>We are watching how clear scientific statements by Jensen, Rushton are met with ire and pseudo-scientific rebuttals. Even Mr. James Watson, who is not a normal Nobel Prize winner, but considered one of the most prestigious of Nobel prize winners was destroyed when he dared to speak unpopular truths. Even he is so wrong, where are the scientific rebuttals instead of the ad hominem attacks?</p>
<p>We wish that the truth would be accepted, so the discussion would be based on the truth, not on wishful thinking. Further discussions are here:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://human-stupidity.com/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence/race-differences-in-intelligence-how-i-changed-my-mind/comment-page-1#comment-15008">discussion between J Philippe Rushton and Graves </a> kindly sent by our reader EgalitarianJay. First one 10 minute discussion. There Rushton gives precise answers. His opponents manage to find the most ridiculous excuses to defend their positions. &#8220;Race does not exist. Asked if they had 100 Chinese in a shower, 100 Kenyans in a shower, 100 Englishmen.  Can they identify which is which?&#8221; They still could somehow argue they could tell the difference, but somehow the difference is not clear. Hilarious.<br />
Further down on that page you can see the 2 hour-long discussion.</li>

These videos are also on youtube, but part of it already has been deleted by demand of a TV station.  We wish there was an honest way to see these videos respecting the producers. Either to suffer through some commercials, or to do some micro-payments (no, not human-stupidity, but the interested watcher. I.e. we would gladly pay one fee for your own watching)<br />

<p>This movie let Lynn and Rushton speak first, and then Nisbett gives a few counter-examples, and finally Flynn give his opinion. The trick is, that there is no chance for Rushton and Lynn to give a final rebuttal. A discussion of the four would be great.</p>
<p>Let us give Rushton a chance for rebuttal:</p>

<p>A black professor can ask such questions. I wonder what would happen if a white professor asks such politically incorrect questions, Highly recommended, though long 53 minute speech. </p>
<p align="right">NOTE for those interested in feminism and men&#8217;s rights:   <br />similar arguments apply to feminist claims re. sex discrimination against females. </p>

<h3>Human-Stupidity Analysis</h3>
<p>Walter E. Williams just states observable FACTS. Refusing also affirmative action: nobody should get undue advantages. Earn by your own merits. </p>
<p>He aptly avoids any mention of incendiary opinions like</p>
<ul>
<li>are blacks less intelligent?</li>
<li>are blacks better athlets in certain fields?</li>
</ul>
<p>Though he observes differences between groups, he does not bother to analyze if they could be genetic. He seems to believe that race differences can be remedied, but avoids discussing these subjects. </p>
<p>I would like to see a female speaker with such an open mind speaking about feminism, female disadvantage, &#8230;.&#160; </p>

      <p>Political correctness backfires and vicitmizes Blacks: research about how to improve black health care gets attacked and repressed. If optimal medical treatment differs by race, then researchers gets attacked. After all, race does not exist and is only a construct. And it is only skin deep.</p>
<p>Our comments about such nonsense are at <a title="racial differences in iq" href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence" target="_blank">race and intelligence</a>&#160; and <a title="politically correct dogmas" href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/political-correctness-stupid-dogma" target="_blank">political correctness</a>. Any forensic specialist can tell the race of a person from a few bones. (<a title="J. Philippe Rushton" href="http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/TaxonomicConstruct.pdf" target="_blank">Is Race A Valid Taxonomic Construct?</a>)</p>
<p>The &quot;race does not exist dogma&quot; and &quot;all races are equal dogma&quot; is an impediment to medical research and victimizes black people who are denied optimal medical treatment.</p>
<blockquote><h3>Why Racial Profiling Persists in Medical Research</h3>
<p>Experts within the research community say a small but stubborn streak of racial profiling has long persisted in the medical literature, borne out in studies that attribute health disparities between blacks and whites not to socioeconomics or access to health care alone but also to genetic differences between the races — a concept that implies that a biological category of race exists. [...]</p>
<p>Researchers said also that even after adjusting for patients&#8217; socioeconomic status, the survival gap between black and white patients remained for three of the cancers studied: breast, ovarian and prostate. [...] </p>
<p>That conclusion, critics quickly responded, was flawed. &quot;Race is a sociological concept, not a biological category,&quot; says Otis Brawley, the chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study. &quot;But this study brings race into medicine as a biological categorization.&quot; [...] </p>
<p>But even while Albain&#8217;s and other similar studies don&#8217;t do much to shift the prevailing medical opinion — that disparities in health are fueled mainly by socioeconomics and access to care — they remind us that antiquated and unscientific ideas about race are alive and well in medical research in America. </p>

</blockquote>
<p>Now the author is a little concerned about being seen as attacking academic research.</p>
<blockquote><p>To be sure, no one is accusing authors like Albain of racism, </p>
</blockquote>
<p>oh, really? </p>
<blockquote><p>and people on both sides of the debate want to save lives. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>as long as saving lives would not violate the racial equality dogma, of course</p>

<p>But the treatment of race by some medical researchers continues to create a stir. Lisa Carey, a breast cancer specialist at the University of North Carolina, believes that biological differences may well contribute to differences in health, such as the one Albain found, but that any discussion of race turns automatically contentious. &quot;The idea of differences between races has been fraught with misuse over the years, and not just in medicine. Everyone is leery that it could be misused again,&quot; she says. &quot;So we have to be careful how we interpret it, but that doesn&#8217;t mean we should ignore it.&quot; </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Dcotors are intimidated by political correctness dogma. Like Galileo was hampered by the Bible. But, medical and natural science is more realistic then anthropology racial dogmatism: </p>
<blockquote><p>81% of doctors still believed race should be used as a biological basis for diagnosing disease. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is true, if we found the corresponding genes for all health and medical problems, that would be even better: </p>
<blockquote><p>For Albain&#8217;s part, she says race is a surrogate for unknown genes — which, scientists agree, play a significant role in health outcomes. &quot;When we find out what the [genetic] &#8216;it&#8217; is, we will be able to test everyone for &#8216;it&#8217; and we will find some Caucasians who have it and some blacks who don&#8217;t and we won&#8217;t be talking about black and white anymore,&quot; she says. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>But don&#8217;t forget, most effects are not single genes but complex interactions. So don&#8217;t be too optimistic. And in the mean time, while we find race as a good &quot;surrogate&quot; to optimze treatment, should we ignore this knowledge just because we don&#8217;t know better?</p>

In a reanalysis of the Lynn and Vanhanen&#8217;s [...] IQ explaining approximately 70% of the variation in GDP.<sup>[20]</sup> Dickerson concludes that as a rough approximation &#8220;an increase of 10 points in mean IQ results in a doubling of the per capita GDP.&#8221;<br />

<td width="275" bgcolor="#ffffff">Barber (2005) found that national IQ was associated with rates of secondary education enrollment, illiteracy, and agricultural employment. The effect on illiteracy and agricultural employment remained with national wealth, infant mortality, and geographic continent controlled.</p>
<p>Both Lynn and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Philippe_Rushton">Rushton</a> have suggested that high IQ is associated with colder climates. To test this hypothesis, Templer and Arikawa (2006) compare the national IQ data from Lynn and Vanhanen with data sets that describe national average skin color and average winter and summer temperatures. They find that the strongest correlations to national IQ were −0.92 for skin color and −0.76 for average high winter temperature. They interpret this finding as strong support for IQ-climate association. Other studies using different data sets find no correlation<br />

<p>Race and Intelligence research by <a href="http://www.rlynn.co.uk/" target="_blank">Richard Lynn</a> shows a vast support for theses similar to Rushton&#8217;s, that led to my writing this prior blog article <a href="../stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence/race-differences-in-intelligence-how-i-changed-my-mind">Race differences in intelligence: how research changed my mind to overcome the “all races are equal” dogma.</a> and other blog articles in the category <a title="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence" href="http://racial-differences-intelligence/">racial-differences-intelligence</a>.  Richard Lynn extends conclusions from the individual sphere to National Wealth.</p>
<h3>Human Stupidity Analysis</h3>
<p>Lynn might not be the last word or the total truth. His ideas are  extremely important and very relevant.  But his research is so extremely  politically incorrect, that others don&#8217;t dare to follow his line, to  really analyze his research, to prove or disprove it.  The race and  intelligence relation is  clearly established but is <strong>taboo</strong>.</p>
<p>Discussion about racial discrimination and quotas would be very  different if racial differences were taken into consideration. Richard  Lynn correlating the fate of entire nations and continents to IQ, that  is even more astounding.</p>
<h4>In US, average IQ for African Americans (85), Hispanic (89), White (103), East Asian (106), and Jewish Americans (113).</h4>

<tr>
<td width="320" valign="top">As the title implies, Richard Lynn&#8217;s new book builds on Herrnstein and Murray&#8217;s (1994) The Bell Curve. The theme of the book is an examination of whether the same type of racial hierarchy in IQ and socio-economic status that Herrnstein and Murray documented in the US is present in other parts of the world. Herrnstein and Murray found that the average IQ for African Americans (85) is lower than for Hispanic (89), White (103), East Asian (106), and Jewish Americans (113). Lynn shows in detail that similar racial IQ/socio-economic hierarchies are present within Africa, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.</p>
<p>Throughout the world, Europeans and East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) average the highest IQs and socio-economic positions, while the lowest averages are found among the Aborigines in Australia and in Africans and their descendants. Intermediate positions are occupied by the Amerindians, the South Asians from the Indian subcontinent, the Maori in New Zealand, and the mixed race peoples in South Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The same pattern is found on multifarious social and life history indicators such as educational levels, earnings, health, accidents, crime, marriage, fertility, and mortality.</p>

<h5>Review</h5>
<p>“Lynn and Vanhanen have made a major contribution to highlighting the importance of intellegence as one factor in accounting for disparities between rich and poor countries.”–Development Policy Review</p>
<p>“Lynn and Vanhanen have launched a powerful challenge to economic historians and development economists &#8230;”–Heredity<br />
“[A] brilliant integration of economics and psychology that illuminates the nexus between mental ability on the one hand, and national wealth, industrial productivity, and well being, on the other. This is a book that social scientists, policy experts, and global investment analysts cannot afford to ignore&#8230;.Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen&#8217;s thesis is stunningly engineered to allow for no error of inference and no possible outcome than the correct one, strangely overlooked until now&#8230;IQ and the Wealth of Nations does for the study of human diversity and achievement among nations what The Bell Curve did for IQ and achievement in the USA.”–J. Phillippe Rushton Fellow, John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Western Ontario</p>
<h5>Product Description</h5>
<p>Lynn and Vanhanen argue that a significant part of the gap between rich and poor countries is due to differences in national intelligence (national IQs). Based on an extensive survey of national IQ tests, the results of their study challenge the previous theories of economic development and provide a new basis to evaluate the prospects of economic development throughout the world.

<h4>Race differences in IQ</h4>
<blockquote><p>Most of my work has been on intelligence. My major discoveries are that the Oriental peoples of East Asia have higher average intelligence by about 5 IQs points than Europeans and peoples of European origin in the United States and elsewhere; and that men have a higher average IQ than women by about 5 IQs points. I first published the high IQ of the Oriental peoples in 1977 in a paper on the intelligence of the Japanese. In subsequent years the high Oriental IQ has been confirmed in numerous studies of Oriental peoples in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Singapore and the United States.  <a href="http://www.rlynn.co.uk/" target="_blank">Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus, University of Ulster</a></p></blockquote>

<h5>Product Description</h5>
<p>We address the following questions. First, in Chapter 1, we review the major theories of economic growth that have been developed since this problem was considered by Charles de Montesquieu and Adam Smith in the eighteenth century and introduce the 192 countries of this study. In Chapter 2 we define and describe what is meant by intelligence. In Chapter 3, we summarize work showing that intelligence is a determinant of incomes and related phenomena (educational attainment and socio-economic status) among individuals in a number of countries; this is the basis of our theory that the intelligence of national populations is likely to be a determinant of per capita incomes among nations. Chapter 4 describes how we have collected and quantified the IQs of nations and presents new IQ data for a further 32 nations. This brings the total number of nations for which we have measured IQs to 113. In addition, national IQs are estimated for 79 other countries so that we have IQs for all countries with populations of more than 40,000. In Chapter 5, five measures of the quality of human conditions and their composite index (QHC) are introduced as well as 12 alternative variables that measure human conditions from different perspectives. In Chapter 6, the hypothesis on the positive relationship between national IQ and the quality of human conditions is tested by empirical evidence on PPP GNI (Gross National Income at Purchasing Power Parity) per capita in 2002, adult literacy rate in 2002, tertiary enrollment ratio, life expectancy at birth in 2002, and the level of democratization in 2002. Chapter 7 focuses on the relationship between national IQ and the composite index of the quality of human conditions (QHC) The results are analysed at the level of single countries on the basis of regression analyses. The results are checked by exploring the impact of latitude and annual mean temperature on human conditions through national IQ. Chapter 8 shows that national IQ is correlated also with many other variables that measure differences in human conditions from different perspectives. Twelve alternative variables are used in these analyses. Chapter 9 discusses the contributions of genetic and environmental determinants to national differences in intelligence and concludes that the racial identity of the population is the major factor. Chapter 10 considers the causal interactions between our most important measures. Chapter 11 (Criticisms and Rejoinders) discusses and responds to the criticisms made of our theory by reviewers. Finally, we summarize the results and conclusions of this study in Chapter 12 and discuss policy implications. Five appendices complement the text. In Appendix 1, the calculation of national IQs for 113 countries is presented and documented. Appendix 2 includes documented empirical data on the adult literacy rate in 2002, the gross enrollment ratio at the tertiary level of education, PPP GNI per capita in US dollars in 1002, and the life expectancy at birth in 2002 for the total group of 192 countries. Appendix 3 provides documented data on the measures of democracy, of the calculated values of the Index of the Quality of Human Conditions (QHC), and of latitude and annual mean temperature. Appendix 4 includes residuals of regression analyses of the five components of QHC on national IQ for single countries in the group of 192 countries. Appendix 5 provides estimated data on per capita GDP derived from Maddison (2003) for 1500 and 2000 in a group of 109 countries.&#8221;</td>

<h5>Review</h5>
<p>This new book by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen is an elaboration and extension of their IQ and the Wealth of Nations (2002) in which they showed that IQ scores correlated around 0.70 with per capita income and rates of economic development in over 81 countries. This was a very bold claim. The cause of national differences in wealth is one of the major problems in economics. Hundreds of books have been written on the subject and several journals are devoted to it. Only very rarely is it ever suggested that national differences in intelligence help determine why some nations are so rich while others are so poor. In my view, Lynn and Vanhanen have made what is arguably the most important contribution to economic understanding since Adam Smith showed that free markets promote economic development. They have shown also that national IQs explain much of the variation between nations in a wide range of economic and social phenomena&#8211;not just income levels. Their book extends the explanatory power of the concept of intelligence in a way that makes a major contribution to the integration of psychology with the other social sciences. In advancing their intelligence theory, Lynn and Vanhanen begin by noting that economists usually regard it as axiomatic that all peoples of the world have the same intelligence. The assumption that the average level of intelligence is the same in all nations is seriously wrong. Lynn and Vanhanen have examined the matter. They found huge national differences in intelligence. Some countries in sub-Saharan Africa appear to have average IQs of 67. Some of the &#8220;Asian Tiger&#8221; nations of the Pacific Rim average out at 105. For perspective, the reader might note that an IQ of 70 is the lower limit for primary school educability, and an IQ of 105 the lower limit for College-level (although of course these can always be &#8220;dumbed down.&#8221; In IQ &amp; Global Inequality, Lynn and Vanhanen have increased the number of countries for which they have calculated measured IQs from 81 to 113. They show that in the new larger sample of 113 countries the correlation between IQ and per capita income for 2002 is 0.68, virtually identical to the correlation reported in their earlier book. A path model in which genes and environment both contribute equally (0.50) to national IQs allows a determination of economic growth (0.71) from 1500 to 2000. These national differences in the rate of economic growth are almost entirely responsible for the contemporary differences in per capita income (0.98). The model also posits that national IQs are determinants of a number of social phenomena such as adult literacy (0.64), enrolment in tertiary education (0.75), life expectancy (0.77), and democratisation (0.57). Some of these phenomena have positive feedback relationships. For instance, nations whose populations have high IQs have high per capita incomes, which enable them to provide high quality nutrition, education, and health care for their children, and these enhance their children&#8217;s intelligence. This is the principle of genotype-environment correlation applied to national populations. IQ &amp; Global Inequality addresses more fundamentally the question of the causes of national differences in intelligence. It concludes that these depend on the racial composition of the populations. Thus, the 6 East Asian nations (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore) all have IQs in the range of 105 to 108. The 29 European nations all have IQs in the range of 92 to 102, while the 19 nations of sub-Saharan Africa all have IQs in the range of 59 to 73. Thus there is remarkable consistency in the IQs of nations when these are classified into racial clusters. Like many important discoveries in science, it seems obvious in retrospect that these national differences in intelligence must inevitably &#8211;J. Philippe Rushton</p>

<h3>Christophe Lemaitre 9.98 First White Man To Run Sub 10 Seconds</h3>
<p>The lone white man running 100 meters in under 10 seconds. 70 blacks and one white are in the select group of Athletes that run 100 meters in under 10 seconds.  Even on the European Championship, he is the only white guy!</p>
<p>Maybe he could be the first white man in decades to qualify for the 100 meter finals? Maybe the races are not equal? Or are whites and Asians just disadvantaged and discriminated in running? See some politically correct attempts to explain away the obvious:</p>
<blockquote><p>Nearly all the sprinters who have beaten the 10-second barrier are of West African descent (with the exceptions of Australian runner Patrick Johnson, French sprinter Christophe Lemaitre and Namibian Frankie Fredericks).[4][5][6] No sprinter of predominantly Asian or East African descent had officially achieved this feat[7][8][9][10], though unofficially the Polish Marian Woronin surpassed the barrier with a time of 9.992 seconds[11], until French athlete Christophe Lemaitre ran in 9.98 on July 9, 2010[12]. Colin Jackson (a mixed race athlete and former world record holder in the 110 metre hurdles)[13] noted that both his parents were talented athletes and suggested that biological inheritance was the greatest influence, rather than any perceived racial factor. Furthermore, successful black role models in track events may reinforce the racial disparity.[8]  <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-second_barrier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-second_barrier">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-second_barrier</a></p></blockquote>
<p>A misunderstanding: some people argue that the fact that there is one guy among 70 blacks is proof that the races are equal. Nobody argues that the races are totally different, it is the famous bell curve: there is a small difference in the mean, and a large difference at the extreme ends at the Bell curve.  Just as there are no white top 10 world championship 100 meter runners, there are no black Math or Physics Nobel Prize winners.</p>
<p>Also very funny: those black racists, who gleefully defend black superiority in 100 meter running, are not aware that by the same logic and theory (see Rushton, below) Blacks are less intelligent and more prone to crime.</p>
<p>More <a href="http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence" target="_blank">articles on Race</a> on Human-Stupidity.com.  Rushton asserts that research shows blacks to have more testosterone and more fast twitch muscles.  According to <a href="http://human-stupidity.com/stupid-dogma/racial-differences-intelligence/race-differences-in-intelligence-how-i-changed-my-mind" target="_blank">Rushton&#8217;s racial theories</a>, r-selected populations excel in short time mating strategies, where fighting and running skills are advantagous while k-selection favors more social organisation and long term planning.</p>
<blockquote><p>[Rushton] asserts that Negroids use a strategy more toward an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-selection">r-selected</a> strategy (produce more offspring, but provide less care for them) while Mongoloids use the K strategy most (produce fewer offspring but provide more care for them), with Caucasoids exhibiting intermediate tendencies in this area.</p>
<p>He further asserts that Caucasoids evolved more toward a K-selected breeding strategy than Negroids because of the harsher and colder weather encountered in Europe, while the same held true to a greater extent for Mongoloids. Rushton argues that the survival challenges of making warm clothes, building durable shelter, preserving food, and strategically hunting large animals all selected genes for greater intelligence and social organization among the populations that migrated to cold climates. <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race,_Evolution,_and_Behavior" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race,_Evolution,_and_Behavior">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race,_Evolution,_and_Behavior</a></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[      
      <blockquote><p>One of the world&#8217;s most eminent scientists was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night [2007] after he claimed that black people were less intelligent than white people and the idea that &#8220;equal powers of reason&#8221; were shared across racial groups was a delusion.</p></blockquote>
<p>James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in the unraveling of DNA who now runs one of America&#8217;s leading scientific research institutions, drew widespread condemnation for comments he made ahead of his arrival in Britain today for a speaking tour at venues including the Science Museum in London. [ ...]</p>
<p>Anti-racism campaigners called for Dr Watson&#8217;s remarks to be looked at in the context of racial hatred laws. A spokesman for the 1990 Trust, a black human rights group, said: &#8220;It is astonishing that a man of such distinction should make comments that seem to perpetuate racism in this way. It amounts to fuelling bigotry and we would like it to be looked at for grounds of legal complaint.&#8221;</p>
<p>Source of this and following quotes:<br />
<a title="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/fury-at-dna-pioneers-theory-africans-are-less-intelligent-than-westerners-394898.html" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/fury-at-dna-pioneers-theory-africans-are-less-intelligent-than-westerners-394898.html">http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/fury-at-dna-pioneers-theory-africans-are-less-intelligent-than-westerners-394898.html</a></p>
<p>Right: the law decides whether the truth can be said by an eminent scientist. Human Stupidity, Dogmatism and political correctness in its pure form. Like the pope who would prohibit Galileo to show proof that the earth is round and moves.</p>
<p>But Galileo was counterintuitive: we all see that the earth does <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> move. But there is a wealth of intuitive <span style="text-decoration: underline;">anecdotal evidence</span> in favor of difference between the races</p>
<ul>
<li>medieval sailors reported primitive tribes in Africa, but highly developed civilizations in Asia. That was right before white colonialism, which could not be blamed for the differences</li>
<li>African Nations, even experimental nations like Liberia, for some reason never function and prosper. So Dr. Watson&#8217;s sincere concern is justified.</li>
<li>In the US, states, cities and districts with high percentage of blacks tend to have more crime and poverty.</li>
<li>Second and third generation kids of war fugitives from Korea or Vietnam in the US do not need any affirmative action. On the contrary, Asians are taking over the nation&#8217;s top Universities. So why do 10th generation Blacks need affirmative action, and even that seems not to work?</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>Dr Watson told The Sunday Times that he was &#8220;inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa&#8221; because &#8220;all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really&#8221;. He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but &#8220;people who have to deal with black employees find this not true&#8221;.<br />
His views are also reflected in a book published next week, in which he writes: &#8220;There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.&#8221;<br />
The furore echoes the controversy created in the 1990s by The Bell Curve, a book co-authored by the American political scientist Charles Murray, which suggested differences in IQ were genetic and discussed the implications of a racial divide in intelligence. The work was heavily criticised across the world, in particular by leading scientists who described it as a work of &#8220;scientific racism&#8221;. [...]</p></blockquote>
<p>Especially by leading sociologists who invent such gems like &#8220;race does not exist&#8221; or &#8220;race is only skin deep&#8221;. Any child can disprove the first statement, and any forensic expert can tell you the race of a person by a single bone. An expert on race and intelligence  <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15560402&amp;sc=emaf" target="_blank">J.P. Rushton&#8217;s comments on Watson on NPR</a></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qYHVgLe2L3E&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qYHVgLe2L3E&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>It is important to state that Dr. Watson is not a racist. There is no glee: &#8220;hey, we have proven white supremacy&#8221;.  No, he is sorry for the results, but true scientists are interested in reporting the truth, not what people want to hear. And he is truly concerned about finding the right policy for Africa. Obviously the last century of Africa policy has not yielded good results.</p>
<blockquote><p>Keith Vaz, the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said: &#8220;It is sad to see a scientist of such achievement making such baseless, unscientific and extremely offensive comments. I am sure the scientific community will roundly reject what appear to be Dr Watson&#8217;s personal prejudices.</p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, the scientific proof for the &#8220;Bell Curve&#8221; is overwhelming. And with the overwheliming anecdotal evidence cited above there should better be some good scientific proof for Keith Vaz unfounded statements.</p>

<blockquote><p>Read this, everything you need to know about scientific research about racial differences: <a href="http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/reb.html" target="_blank">RACE, EVOLUTION, and BEHAVIOR: A Life History Perspective, by J.P. Rushton</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In school I heard disparaging remarks about Artur Jensen and other &#8220;unscientific&#8221; &#8220;dishonest&#8221; &#8220;cheating&#8221; scientists doing faulty research about race differences.</p>
<p><em>The Bell Curve by </em>Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray actually looked fairly convincing to me, but if even President Bill Clinton denounced it, there must be something wrong about it.</p>
<p>There always was some complex theory to explain away the IQ differences:</p>
<ul>
<li>different culture</li>
<li>parental expectation</li>
<li>mother&#8217;s malnourishment</li>
<li>IQ measurements are racially and culturally biased</li>
</ul>

<div id="attachment_149" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 308px"><a href="http://human-stupidity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/race_intelligence_adoption_rushtonsm1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-149" title="Adopted Children's IQ by Race" src="http://human-stupidity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/race_intelligence_adoption_rushtonsm1.jpg" alt="race_intelligence_adoption_rushtonsm1" width="298" height="389" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Adopted Children&#39;s IQ by Race</p></div>
<p>My opinion changed when I read about trans-racial adoption studies. That was the last drop that really disproved all these desperate attempts to explain away racial differences in intelligence.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;The best evidence for the genetic basis of race-IQ differences comes from trans-racial adoption studies of Oriental children, Black children, and Mixed-Race children. All these children have been adopted by White parents at an early age and have grown up in middle-class White homes.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Chart 9 summarizes the results for Oriental children adopted into White middle-class homes.<br />
Korean and Vietnamese babies from poor backgrounds, many of whom were malnourished, were adopted by White American and Belgian families. When they grew up, they excelled in school. The IQs of the adopted Oriental children were 10 or more points higher than the national average for the country they grew up in. Trans-racial adoption does not increase or decrease IQ. The three-way pattern of race differences in IQ remains.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In plain English: adopted Asian babies grew up to be very bright, adopted black babies grew up to have low intelligence.<br />
<span id="more-144"></span><br />
One more desperate argument that was posed to save the &#8220;racial equality&#8221; dogma:
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>They claimed “expectancy effects,” not genes, explained the pattern. They argued that the Black and White children were not treated the same. Even if parents took good care of their children, the schools, classmates, and society as a whole discriminated against Black children and this hurt their IQs. Because we expected Black children to do poorly in school, they lived up to our low expectations.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Even that argument got promptly destroyed.  Rushton:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>A special analysis of the Scarr study compared parents who believed that they had adopted a Black baby but, really, had adopted a Mixed-Race (Black-White) child. The average IQ for these Mixed-Race children was just about the same as for other Mixed-Race children and above that for adopted Black children. This was true even though the parents who adopted these Mixed-Race children thought their babies really had two Black parents. </em></p>

<p>That did it for me. It destroyed my ingrained indoctrinated beliefs that all races must be equal. It opened up my mind to the possibility that there could be racial differences.</p>
<p>Before we go on, may I stress a few more points</p>
<ul>
<li>I have no axe to grind against blacks. I am not interested in proving that blacks are stupid or inferior. I am not a white supremacist</li>
<li>I have an axe to grind against dogmatism, blindness, stupidity. I have an axe to grind against the catholic church for repressing Galileo&#8217;s truth about the moving and revolving earth. And I have an axe to grind about political correctness repressing the truth, repressing research.</li>
<li>This site is about human stupidity versus truth and consciousness</li>
<li>Rushton, though much maligned, is not some crazy cook but one of the most prestigious research scientists to date: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times;">Rushton holds two doctorates from the University of London (Ph.D. and D.Sc) and is a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American, British, and Canadian Psychological Associations. He is also a member of the Behavior Genetics Association, the Human Behavior and Evolution Society, and the Society for Neuroscience. Rushton has published six books and nearly 200 articles. In 1992 the Institute for Scientific Information ranked him the 22nd most published psychologist and the 11th most cited. Professor Rushton is listed in <em>Who</em></span>.  Some of Rushtons scientific publications can be found on his University page: <a href="http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushton_pubs.htm">http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushton_pubs.htm</a></li>

<h2>Summary of Racial differences</h2>
<div id="attachment_151" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 447px"><a href="http://human-stupidity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/racial_differences_rushton1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-151" title="Racial differences summarized (J.P.

<p>Then of course, the non-scientific &#8220;evidence&#8221;, the hearsay, the anecdotal evidence, our daily experience, suddenly made sense:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The Whites who explored China were just as racist as those who explored Africa, but their descriptions were different from what they and the Arabs had written about Africans. In 1275 Marco Polo arrived in China from his native Italy to open trade with the Mongol Empire. He found that the Chinese had well built roads, bridges, cities connected by canals, census takers, markets, standardized weights and measures, and not only coins, but paper money as well. Even a postal system was in existence. All of these made him marvel when he compared the Chinese to what he saw in Europe and the Middle East.<br />
Even though he was an Italian, proud of his people and well aware of the greatness of Ancient Rome, Marco Polo wrote: &#8220;Surely there is no more intelligent race on earth than the Chinese.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In amazing ways, Rushton forms a coherent picture to make sense of all the racial differences shown in reasearch.  Some differences are biological and can not be talked away by simple psychobabble or sociology-babble.</p>
<p>In a few cases medical treatment and medication showed racial differences. which proves a real quagmire for race equality dogmatist. Should they talk away and hide the differences as racist and cause medical malpractice and suffering for black patients? Or should they accept the scientific facts and actively promote racial analysis of medical studies and see their beloved pet dogma undermined?</p>
<p>Rushton&#8217;s book sums up the relevant research. Please forgive me for always quoting Rushton, incessantly. Nobody can say it better, nobody summed up the entire field in a more concise and coherent manner then Rushton.
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Many statistics in Chart 1 come from the United States, where Orientals are a “model minority.”<br />
They have fewer divorces, fewer out-of-wedlock births, and fewer reports of child abuse than Whites.<br />
More Orientals graduate from college and fewer go to prison.<br />
On the other hand Blacks are 12% of the American population and make up 50% of the prison population. In the U.S., one out of every three Black men is either in jail, on probation, or awaiting trial. That is much more than the number who graduate from college.<br />
Chapter 2 shows how this racial pattern in crime is found worldwide. INTERPOL Yearbooks show the rate of violent crime (murder, rape, and serious assault) is four times lower in Asian and Pacific Rim countries than in African and Caribbean countries. Whites in the United States and in European countries are intermediate. The 1996 INTERPOL violent crime rates clearly show this pattern: Asian countries, 35 violent crimes per 100,000 people; European countries, 42; and African countries, 149.<br />
Chapter 2 also finds that Oriental children are slower to mature than White children while Black children are faster to mature. This is true for the rate of bone and tooth development and the age at which a child first sits, crawls, walks, and puts on clothing. Oriental children do not begin to walk until about 13 months, White children at 12 months, and Black children at 11 months.<br />
Chapter 3 looks at racial differences in sexual activity. Orientals are the least sexually active, whether measured by age of first intercourse, intercourse frequency, or number of sexual partners. Blacks are the most active on all of these. Once again Whites are in between. These contrasts in sexual activity lead to differences in the rate of diseases like syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and chlamydia. There are high levels of AIDS in Africa, Black America, and the Caribbean and low levels in China and Japan. European countries again fall in between.<br />
The races differ in rate of ovulation (Chapter 3). Not all women produce one egg during the menstrual cycle. When two or more eggs are produced at the same time, a pregnancy is more likely. So is the likelihood of producing fraternal twins (i.e., two-egg twins). The number of twins born is 16 out of every 1,000 births for Blacks, 8 out of every 1,000 births for Whites, and 4 or less for Orientals. Triplets and other multiple births are rarest in Orientals and highest in Blacks, with Whites in between.<br />
Chapter 4 is about race and intelligence. Hundreds of studies on millions of people show a threeway pattern. IQ tests are often made to have an average score of 100, with a “normal” range from 85 to 115. Whites average from 100 to 103. Orientals in Asia and the U.S. tend to have higher scores, about 106, even though IQ tests were made for use in the Euro-American culture. Blacks in the U.S., the Caribbean, Britain, Canada, and in Africa average lower IQs &#8212; about 85. The lowest average IQs are found for sub-Saharan Africans &#8212; from 70 to 75.<br />
Chapter 4 also looks at brain size. Bigger brains have more brain cells and this leads to higher IQs. The races vary in brain size. The Collaborative Perinatal Project followed more than 35,000 children from birth to seven years. Orientals had larger brains than Whites at birth, four months, one year, and seven years. Whites had larger brains than Blacks at all ages (see Chart 2). The data on adults in Chart 2 come from a sample of 6,325 U.S. Army personnel.<br />
Chapter 5 asks whether differences in our brain size, our bodies and our behavior are because of genes, environment, or both. It also asks whether individual differences can tell us anything about race differences.</em>
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Chapter 6 discusses the gene based “life-history theory” I have proposed to explain the racial pattern in brain size, intelligence, and other traits. Evolutionary biologists call it the r-K scale of reproductive strategies. At one end of this scale are r-strategies that rely on high reproductive rates. At the other end are K-strategies that rely on high levels of parental care. This scale is generally used to compare the life histories of different species of animals. I have used it to explain the smaller but real differences between the human races.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>On this scale, Orientals are more K-selected than Whites, while Whites are more K-selected than Blacks. Highly K-selected women produce fewer eggs (and have bigger brains) than r-selected women. Highly K-selected men invest time and energy in their children rather than the pursuit of sexual thrills. They are “dads” rather than “cads.”</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Chapter 7 shows that the race differences in reproductive strategies make sense in terms of human evolution. Modern humans evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Africans and non-Africans then split about 100,000 years ago. Orientals and Whites split about 40,000 years ago.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The more north the people went “Out of Africa,” the harder it was to get food, gain shelter, make clothes, and raise children. So the groups that evolved into today’s Whites and Orientals needed larger brains, more family stability, and a longer life. But building a bigger brain takes time and energy during a person’s development. So, these changes were balanced by slower rates of growth, lower levels of sex hormones, less aggression, and less sexual activity.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Why? Because Africa, Europe, and Asia had very different climates and geographies that called for different skills, resource usage, and lifestyles. Blacks evolved in a tropical climate which contrasted with the cooler one of Europe in which Whites evolved and even more so with the cold Arctic lands where Orientals evolved.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Because intelligence increased the chances of survival in harsh winter environments, the groups that left Africa had to evolve greater intelligence and family stability. This called for larger brains, slower growth rates, lower hormone levels, less sexual potency, less aggression, and less impulsivity. Advanced planning, self-control, rule-following, and longevity all increased in the non-Africans.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I realize that these topics are controversial and that readers will have many questions. Chapter 8 lists the questions I am most asked about Race, Evolution, and Behavior, and my answers to them.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Conclusion</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Race is more than “just skin deep.” The pattern of Oriental-White-Black differences is found across history, geographic boundaries, and political-economic systems. It proves the biological reality of race. Theories based only on culture cannot explain all the data shown in Chart 1. The next three chapters describe the scientific findings on race differences (summarized in Chart 1) in greater detail. Later chapters explain why these differences follow such a pattern.</em></p>
