Black vs White (economics)

Quote from seneca_roman:

I don't understand why people don't want to acknowledge there is a possibility that genetics plays a part in intelligence.

Consider this:

"The 2005 study "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence" by Gregory Cochran, Jason Hardy, and Henry Harpending at the University of Utah wrote Ashkenazi Jews are greatly overrepresented in occupations and fields with the high cognitive demands. During the 20th century, they made up about 3% of the US population but won 27% of the US science Nobel Prizes and 25% of the Turing Awards. More than half of the world's chess champions are Ashkenazi Jews. "

Wasn't my hypotheses; it belongs to the paper's author from Utah.. My hypothesis is only we should not shy away from studying the relationship between genetics and intelligence and I cited the Utah paper as an example. God help anyone who does this research in our PC environment.

I have no idea if their hypothesis is correct. However, growing up and going to schools with more than half Jews makes me think they are on to something. I went to school with some brilliant kids.

Thanks for the link.

Here's an interview with the professor, who received his phd from Harvard, who was one of the researchers involved with the Jewish IQ studies, and the Bell Curve:

Quote from Ricter:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is–ought_problem

In theory, we have the intellectual and moral tools to defuse the dangers. "Is" does not imply "ought." Group differences, when they exist, pertain to averages, not to individual men and women. There are geniuses and dullards, saints and sinners, in every race, ethnicity, and gender. Political equality is a commitment to universal human rights, and to policies that treat people as individuals rather than as representatives of groups; it is not an empirical claim that people are indistinguishable. Many commentators seem unwilling to grasp these points.

-Steven Pinker phd, Harvard Univeristy
