And it still doesn't invalidate the measures and the results. You can criticize the IQ test used but you cannot say it doesn't matter or worse threaten sanctions against those who are experts and conduct that research. That's not better than being a nazi. Come up with a different test and have it peer reviewed and accepted but don't go trigglypuff on the messenger.
willywonka saysIndians in Central and South America, who knows how the pure blood Indians would have scored.
They are genetically quite close to SE Asians, so might be scoring very high.
Arent american Indians also genetically similar? Why are american Indians low in IQ whereas SE asians are high?
I think culture is a HUGE part of IQ.
They are genetically quite close to SE Asians, so might be scoring very high.Illogical. If that were the case, there would be no racial differences at all as everyone is from Africa. But compare Argentina, mostly white, and 1.4% Indian, to Mexico, 12% Indian, to Guatemala, 40% Indian, and the IQ matches, i.e, Argentina: 93, Mexico: 88, Guatemala: 79. The more Indian the population, the less the IQ.

"They are genetically quite close to SE Asians, so might be scoring very high." Ok, that was wrong.
Perhaps TOXIC WHITE CULTURE and toxic Asian culture are the ways to go if we want successful citizenry.
Patrick saysI was quite surprised that feelings, to her, were more important than science
Is she a scientist or have significant science training/degrees? If not, then i don’t know why this is surprising. Women are emotional creatures and place the most importance on relationships. Men place more importance on doing things and understanding our world so that we can tame it and thus provide for women and the children we will make together. This is as nature intended it to be.
My wife actually is highly science trained and she still comes down on the side of emotion quite a bit on these sorts of issues. Maybe 50-50 on those odds for her.
My wife thought the dismissal of Watson may be justified because he made people feel bad. I was quite surprised that feelings, to her, were more important than science.

Maybe more important than feelings are the fact that any public discourse is political by nature, and politics have practical consequences.
So here you leave people 1 or 2 direct implications away from white nationalism, race based tribalism, etc...
It doesn't lead to holding hands and singing Kumbaya.
I think that left is very crazy about policing speech
Free speech doesn't imply that no public shaming
Shaming should apply to people like Alex Jones.
Fortwaynemobile saysI think that left is very crazy about policing speech
You mean censorship.
Free speech doesn't imply that no public shaming will take place based on what people say.
workplaces should not fire people for politics of any kind. Deplatforming and/or kicking someone or a company off of email services, payment services, etc... these are the tools of tyranny that the left is cheering on.
Very much like Galileo when faced with the hostility of the Catholic Church for suggesting that the earth moves around the sun: E pur si muove
