Oh jeez

You are confusing Tyson Beckford ( 1/4 asian) a model, with Tyrese Gibson, (full black whatever that means in this country) model and actor. They are not the same person.

Sorry. Racist jokes are never in "good fun". This is exactly how racism is transmitted from one generation to another.

Fewer and fewer people find this type of "humor" to be acceptable or funny.

And I am glad about that!

Yes I did. My bad. They are both good looking. Tyson is Jamaican and Chinese.

There's a book called IQ and the Wealth of Nations. I paid over a hundred Dollars for my copy, when it first came out. You, however, can find the best part of that book online, for free.

That best part is the National IQ Table.

Look up Germany (102) and the part of Asia of your other parent's ancestry (101?). Average those two National IQs, then look up Puerto Rico (84) and Jamaica (72). Average those two National IQs. That will give you a pretty good idea of the IQ you potentially pass on to your offspring, as well as the IQ your girlfriend is possibly likely to pass on to hers. Average yours and hers, and you have, roughly, the likely IQ of offspring you'd produce together.

The pertinent column you're looking for is 'Book Score'.

But what if their nationality is American? He just gave his girlfriend's ethnic make up. She could be from the U.S. and that would change things based on your "source."
