White Liberals Present Themselves as Less Competent in Interactions with African-Americans

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

Remember when Trausti showed a table of highest salary earners and Indians topped the list, but Indian national IQ is like 89...

...so...off-topic...

Should we change the thread title to "White Conservatives Present Themselves as Racist in Interactions about National IQs?"

or just make a new thread?

He understood what I was talking about. While it's not exactly what I wrote it's the same idea, just expressed quite differently and it's certainly not gobbledygook.

I would agree it is not gobbledygook. It is just run of the mill conservative/bigoted babble. Poverty (normally understood) is not perfectly or even closely related to IQ. The ability to earn is not necessarily related to intelligence.

We aren't talking about the ability to earn, but the ability to spend wisely.

Tell that to Trausti - he's the one agreeing with your babble and linking it to the ability to earn.

Attitude = IQ. See South Korea. Once as impoverished as Haiti.

And you have yet to show the "attitude" or "IQ" over time of either one. IOW, you have no data and are simply yelping.

(I'll also note that both the US and France were, until very recent history, extremely hostile towards Haiti, and interfered wildly in order to drive the country into poverty - much as the US did in many Central American countries that are today effectively lawless.)

Now compare the respective national IQ. No high GDP nation has a low IQ. What is true of nations is true of individuals.

And please recall that Korea, in contrast to Haiti, was devastated by two Japanese invasions at the end of the 16th century. (The Japanese were not the only invaders.) It was a client state of the Qing. Then it was occupied by the Japanese in the first half of the 20th century. Then razed to the ground in at the start of the 1950s. Yet, in one generation it (the South non-socialist part) became a global economic power; Samsung, LG, Kia, Hyundai, Lotte. It did this despite having little natural resources. It only had its people.

The 16th century, that's a laugh. You continue to have no more than a laughably basic overview of history - Japan and South Korea received strong foreign aid in order to get to where they were, which was not available to Afghanistan (a near-constant war zone), Congo (plagued by resource extraction to other countries), or Haiti (subject to near-constant malicious interference, as I said before). North Korea is simply vanished, and the GDP of countries like Russia are left off. To put it simply, this is much less a matter of careful research, and much more white nationalist justification garbage.

All that shows is you have a better chance at taking and doing well on an IQ test if you start with a lot of money. You have the correlation backwards.

EDIT: and GDP is not a measure of how many or how few people are in poverty, or why they are in poverty. A nation that produces lots of Samsungs but doesn't feed its poor is not objectively better than one where everybody has what they need but nobody makes Samsungs.

I don't think he has. Look here. The higher your SAT scores are, the more money your family earns. I think I've got that right.



It's a good thing that individual SAT coaching is widely available free of charge in America. Otherwise, children of wealthy families would have an advantage.

Fun fact (I didn't know this): SAT tests were invented in 1926 by an American white guy whose writings heavily influenced the Eugenics Movement in America in the 1920's and who said, in 1923, "The army mental tests had proven beyond any scientific doubt that, like the American Negroes, the Italians and the Jews were genetically ineducable. It would be a waste of good money even to attempt to try to give these born morons and imbeciles a good Anglo-Saxon education, let alone admit them into our fine medical, law, and engineering graduate schools".
