THIRTY YEARS OF RESEARCH ON RACE
DIFFERENCES IN COGNITIVE ABILITY

J. Philippe Rushton
The University of Western Ontario
Arthur R. Jensen
University of California, Berkeley

Quote:
The culture-only (0% genetic–100% environmental) and the hereditarian (50% genetic–50% environmental) models of the causes of mean Black–White differences in cognitive ability are compared and contrasted across 10 categories of evidence: the worldwide distribution of test scores, g factor of mental ability, heritability, brain size and cognitive ability, transracial adoption, racial admixture, regression, related life-history traits, human origins research, and hypothesized environmental variables. The new evidence reviewed here points to some genetic component in Black–White differences in mean IQ. The implication for public policy is that the discrimination model (i.e., Black–White differences in socially valued outcomes will be equal barring discrimination) must be tempered by a distributional model (i.e., Black–White outcomes reflect underlying group characteristics).
Besides repeating the chant "we are all equal" perhaps someone can supply supportive evidence that we are.

But then we all know what kind of racist trash we can expect out of UC Berkeley!

Ummm....no. Not exactly.

European immigration is a major building block, but they're FAR from being the only important component of this nation's establishment.

Moreover, why should we have allowed you to come here instead of some random Mexican or Chinese? What makes you so special?

I don't care about other countries. I care about this one.

You said that you'd prefer a monoculture with a united people as a feature.

Well this country has never been united in its history, so you don't know nor have you ever experienced an united America. It hasn't existed before.

So why did you immigrate to a nation that isn't united as a people and never had a history of being in that state?

Why didn't you immigrate to Poland or Japan instead?

Um, why did you come here knowing exactly how diverse this country is if you're against diversity?

Really...how? Where'd you immigrate from that has closer cultural ties than Mexico has to this country? If it's not Canada, then you're just blowing hot air.
