Actual genetic white supremacist racism.
Why do those white supremacists consistently put SE Asians above them on the list?

Why do poor people of European ancestry consistently outperform rich people of African ancestry in the US? Does IQ not play a part in culture?

LINK / Sorry pal
That article just says that second generation immigrants do better than their parents. Is that really a shocker? It also even said most of the second generation immigrants for this study are children of immigrants from the early 20th century not from today's immigrants. One of the most troubling parts of this article is the rate at which women in the second generation immigrants are having kids unmarried, almost twice the rate of the initial generation of immigrants

And you're wrong.
1. Your article is from Pew which is VERY left wing and into the plight of the 3rd world.
2. The data was 2000-2012. The move away from student visa and high skill immigration and toward African and refugee immigration under Obama hasn't had a chance to chance to produce 2nd generation adults.
3. You left out a HUGE low IQ immigration population: Illegals. That's what the entire debate is about.
Sorry, pal. Check out the lower IQ averages in Europe over the last 5 years due to immigration from Africa.

A few thoughts:
** Its unfair (but not suprising) to blame the entire low average on immigrants and minorities. Guys, we have alot of low to average intelligence white people.
a) look at how many social science and "studies" degrees are issued every year in America as opposed to marketable subjects.
b) Look at Presidential elections over the past 40 years. Notice how many Democratic policies we have.
C) social movements like #metoo.
Also, what defines a high IQ. And is it more relevant than just making wise decisions.

How long before IQ tests are deemed racist?

Actually, half of white people are below average IQ.

The Bell Curve's I - V divisions is helpful.
The five divisions are not equal. That's why it's called a bell curve.
I - retarded, and V - very bright, are small percentages of the population. V = 120 and above.
II - dull, and IV - bright, are larger.
The average, III, is about 95-105.
Also, people tend to marry within their own division so the children are the average of mom and dad, plus or minus 4 points.

Oh, it's been a charge forever. My favorite criticism from a leftist was about racially biased questions (even though IQ tests don't have questions like ACT or SAT tests). His argument: 'They ask the children about the parts of a yacht. Black folks don't have yachts. It's racist.'

OP should research and write a peer-reviewed paper on this eugenics theory. Until then, this whole emphasis on genetic IQ wreaks of racism. Not the “he said the N-word in a comedy routine” racist, not the “I’m going to call the cops on this suspicious brown person” racist. Actual genetic white supremacist racism. Every time something like this comes up, I think to myself, “Well I’ll be damned, the pro-affirmative action crusaders really do have an axe to grind. White privilege is an actual thing.”
Ah yes, it must be racism, and yet you offer no substantial counter argument. Shouldn’t we be talking about Jewish or Asian privilege as the studies show they have a higher average IQ than whites? No, that wouldn’t fit your bullshite worthless comment.

Given current immigration trends and birth rates, virtually all (93%) of the growth of the nation’s working-age population between now and 2050 will be accounted for by immigrants and their U.S.-born children, according to a population projection by the Pew Research Center.
You OK with that?

The ones near the equator are closer to the sun. That melts brain cells. (true science)

I literally never blamed it solely on minorities or immigrants.

I mean it’s a common fricking fact that countries with stupid citizens don’t do well. Don’t know why that’s such a shock to you.

Are you suggesting that the People of Ville Platte and Chalmette our net positives to the state of Louisiana?
Or are you agreeing that immigration from Third World countries is a net negative? I’m confused.
