You can say the test measure this thing called " X. ".

If you have a lot of this X you are more apt to be successful in life.

"Success" being defined in the Western sense of success.

Psychologists dealing in educational testing provide standardized IQ testing.

Wechsler (sp?) is a common test I believe.

Then there is "social intelligence and emotional intelligence"...and some people who score highest on "IQ" tests are totally lacking in these two categories.

That's ridiculous. If you really believed that then you surely wouldn't mind if Whites moved into other countries and displaced their populations, right? If we're all so interchangeable then why not replace the population of Mexico with Germans? Hey big deal about the natives of Mexico going out of existence. There's nothing special about their genes at all anyway, right?

Why do liberals hope for the extinction of all white people with the exception of those with last names like Martínez or Hassan? Sometimes I read these liberals' post and I get the feeling that these people seem to love the idea of their own race being eradicated
