Why am I not surprised that the man with the brain of a 12-year-old psychopath is wondering whether slavery can be justified.Skans » 12 Jan 2023, 9:29 am » wrote: ↑ While I tend to think that genetics (specifically racial genetics) and intelligence are significantly correlated, I don't know the degree of correlation nor have I seen this actually quantified. Further, if race and intelligence is objectively correlated, then does it explain all of the problems that have existed between various races? Is it possible that races capable of only specific levels of intelligence are not compatible with one another, without one race being subservient to the other?
That must be one of them there scholarly articles you were talking about
It's an alternate spelling. Educate yourself.
Those lists complied by pop culture sources are always shown to be bogus when scrutinized. One of the first examples is Otis Boykin. The article give him credit for inventing the pacemaker. That is bogus. Boykin worked for a company that worked on the development of pacemakers. Boykin left the company and later sued them for his alleged contribution. His lawsuit was dismissed.Skans » 12 Jan 2023, 10:08 am » wrote: ↑ Anecdotal evidence. Here's a link to some black inventors. So, your "observation" is now negated.

This is precisely why I do not put much credence in anecdotal evidence. See, I knew you wouldn't like the list I gave you - purposely chose it for that very reason. It provides a list of black people who allegedly "invented things" to try and prove they are just as intelligent as white people - anecdotal evidence. Now, perhaps you understand my interest in genuine, peer-reviewed, data-published studies on this issue rather than anecdotal evidence. Just for the record, if such studies showed that blacks were as smart or even smarter than whites, I wouldn't care. I would just be intrigued.
Whether it is or is not is irrelevant to the point I was making. Anecdotal evidence is always full of **** and refutable by someone providing different anecdotal evidence. I chose that list because it sounded like it had some BS in it. This is why I'm more interested in what unbiased (or as little bias as a study can have, anyway) studies have to say on the matter.FOS » 13 Jan 2023, 9:51 am » wrote: ↑ those 'black inventor' lists are always full of simply blatant lies.

A test can easily reflect the bias of the those who wrote the test.
And AGAIN, intelligence and talent of all types are INDIVIDUAL traits, and demonstrably NOT linked to skin color.

Race is indeed skin color, but albinos are an exception.

People of color does not refer only to Black people, of course.
Yes, you are an exception, but that doesn't make you exceptional!

It refers to anyone who is not descended from White Europeans: Africans, African-Americans, anyone visibly resembling Black Africans, as well as Native Americans, Latin Americans, Eskimos, Inuits, Aleuts, and Asians from any part of Asia except perhaps Israel.
It is a convenient and more positive way to refer to "anyone other than people of White European descent"./
