Expecting a group with an average IQ of 85 to compete in a nation where the average IQ is over 100, when you exclude the group with an IQ of 85, is the very definition of systemic racism if you think about it. Its truly sad that we put this pressure and expectations on certain groups.
Are you saying that genetically, they have lower brain function? Cause if its a nurture thing, and not a nature thing then putting pressure on them is a way to raise that number. If its a nature thing, then you've basically proven that something can be racist and be true. And we have to decide as a society whether its more important to go with facts or to not be racist, in those instances.

I am not saying it, science is. Its a scientific fact that certain races have different average IQs and it is also a fact that IQ can only be increased through nurture by a very, very small amount. Since IQ is caused by nature I wouldn't call it racist, it is just a fact and we need to be honest about it.
If you look at the success Asian people have in this country compared to other minority groups it is due to the fact that they have extremely high average IQs, much higher than white people. Yes they also have great family units and work hard but a lot of that has to do with them being smart enough to know they will be rewarded for doing this. Jews have the highest IQs of anyone and it is obvious when you look at how successful they are compared to most.
Intelligence isn't what makes people good or bad, and there are obviously outliers in every group, so it is a complicated problem. I don't have a solution I know would solve everything but the current system of hiding the facts isn't helping anyone and I have a few ideas that could help, I do know unless we are honest we will never solve ANYTHING.
