Lol, what makes you think I hate it? If I hated it so much, I for one would not be living in the US, and two, would not be living right in downtown Miami, three, would not have worked for civil rights enforcement agencies like the EEOC.
You do hate it though. It doesn’t matter that you live in downtown Miami or worked for some Civil Rights agency. Lol
Science has become another bastion of Leftist group think. If you don't all think alike you're out of the club.
Baloney.
While there is some corruption in science and scientific research, it is still operating-room clean when compared to American politics.
The problem is, the masses are so out of touch with science and math that they have no choice but to dumb down science, just like they are dumbing down many other aspects of society.
You'll do yourself a favor by believing in scientists and reality over politicians, 99.9% of the time.
It’s nothing mote than a classification made-up by humans. We’re all the same species.
Btw, OP, nice race-baiting thread.
No kidding it is made up by humans, it is not like there is some natural rock with a list of descriptions etched into it. Humans have classified things, just as we have classified many things.
If you say "IQ is genetic" in a nice way, then you may be able to keep your credentials.
But if you say "IQ is genetic" in a mean way, then oh boy you are going to lose it all.
Not really. William Shockley, Nobel Prize winner in 1956 for the co-invention of the transistor, which everyone's who is reading this computer and phone depends on, back in the 1970's and 1980's said the very same thing this Nobel laureate scientist is saying, and he said it in the nicest way he could.

My point being, had you followed the conversation, was that it’s not instinctual.

It destroyed him and his career.
Indeed yet most people probably have no clue who he was.
Probably what went too far was his suggestion that those who had low IQ's should take money in exchange to be voluntarily sterilized.
The study of dysgenics probably would not even be funded today, at least not publicly. Whether it is legitimate/valid might not be discovered in this PC climate, but some day people like Shockley will either be vindicated or discredited based on sound (non-PC means tested) science.

Well said. This is one of those rare moments where we actually agree on something. I bet we have a lot in common when it comes to science, but as soon as I mention the word "marijuana" to you, you discredit me as if I was Shockley. Oh well.
If there are severe genetic differences between races in some physical attributes like height (Bosnian women are 4 inches taller in average than Bolivian men, for example), how can you deny that there may be some differences between their brains also?
Science does not care about your feelings.
