    People should be treated as individuals. It doesn't matter what the average intelligence of any group is. What matters is the actual intelligence of individuals.

    You write as if there were something shameful in being a racist.

    Ghetto has been used to describe a variety of segregated areas for a variety of races.

    As early as 1908, "ghetto" was sometimes used metaphorically to describe slum areas that weren't mandated by law but that were limited to a single group of people because of other constraints. That year, Jack London wrote of "the working-class ghetto." Immigrant groups and American Jews were also identified as living in these unofficial "ghettos."

    "But whatever the root language, the word's original meaning was clear: "the quarter in a city, chiefly in Italy, to which the Jews were restricted," as the OED puts it. In the 16th and 17th centuries, cities like Venice, Frankfurt, Prague and Rome forcibly segregated their Jewish populations, often walling them off and submitting them to onerous restrictions."

    Interesting article here about that word....

    Most Americans just expect equal opportunity.

    Nonsense. Stupid is not bound to a race. It's bound to education. Racebaiting thread.

    Trump supporters are more educated than the average American, and they don't have a homicide rate 8 fold higher than the white average.

    I'm talking about American contemporary usage of the word ghetto. It's a poor black area usually around the projects.
    The hood is another term used similarly.
    Ain't no poor Jews in the US...haha

    So why don't black-white SAT scores reach parity until blacks at the top economical decile are compared to whites at the lowest economic decile?

    Why do Northeast Asians have consistently higher IQ than whites and why do whites have consistently higher IQ than blacks - including Northeast Asian and black children raised by white couples?

    The bell curve. That's what we're talking about, not education.

    So this very topic is what led me to creating the poll Is Science Becoming Irrelevant. There are studies that conclude there are differences in IQ between the races. There are also studies refuting these studies and state that there are not. If there is a chance that there are indeed difference wouldn't that be needed information for governing?

    Let's assume there are differences: One of the major things that has started leaving the US are manufacturing jobs. At the same time the unemployment rate of minorities started going up. Is this a coincidence or the fact that many of those factory jobs were held by the minority? Got me, but if that is the case wouldn't it provide evidence on why manufacturing jobs need to return to the country.

    Let's assume that there is no difference in IQ between the races: Why is there more "success" within the Asian community then even the Caucasian, and far more than the other minorities? I believe some of it is culture, but all of it?

    If people are going to try and "fix" the woes of the country or world wouldn't they want all of the information available? I have no idea which studies are right and which are wrong, but to dismiss "science" because it is racist is not productive. Science should not be racist it should be facts, PC and partisan has made it racist.

    IQ has nothing to do with education and averages for Asians, whites, Hispanics, and blacks differ by quite a bit.

    That's not what I've read. Trumps support is blue collar, non educated. He at one time had support of educated suburbanites, but they are fleeing in droves.

    Because blacks will be a continuous drag on society in every respect.

    Manufacturing? Machines do most American manufacturing. Nobody goes to work at "The Factory."

    Ignoring inherent rcial differences will ensure blacks will continue disproportionately killing whites and being a net drain on the economy.

    I'd rather address the reality to come up with realistic ways of improving the US.

    We have lost many jobs overseas that people are still doing. Yes we have had many factory jobs get replaced by machines though.

    Actually it's not. You're missing the point.

    There are many conservatives (and I guess others) who make this claim. Whether they base it on genetics or culture or whatever means nothing on regards to there following.

    Assuming it's true for the sake of argument (and it's not)...what would they have us DO with that information?

    So what is wrong with you?

    Why isn't your IQ higher than Condi Rice's?
    Why aren't you as rich as Michael Jordan?
    Why aren't you advancing medicine like Ben Carson?
    Why aren't you as well known as Collin Powell?
    Why aren't you as rich and successful as Kenneth Frazier - CEO of Merck?
    Why aren't you CEO of Xerox, like Ursula Burns?

    What have YOU done that is so special compared to these black Americans?
    You are nothing but a pretender who tries to ride on the coattails of other successful people. Pathetic.

    I don't think it's fair to accuse conservatives of this. Too broad a brush.

    We invented machines to do our manufacturing.
    You want a good job? Learn a marketable, in-demand skill.

    Good question. It reminds me of the accusations of conservatives being racist. Even if it's true, so what? What would the accusers have us do with that information? The only answer I see to that is to hate conservatives and vote liberal. The voting angle doesn't really work with the "Blacks are less intelligent" thing, so that only leaves the hate..

    Other factory jobs just plain suck.
