Looking at IQ figures we tend to find Australian Aboriginals (65), sub- Saharan Blacks (70), Blacks in white societies 85, American Indians (87), whites (100) and on to east-Asians (103) as average scores. This has been known and repeated for many years. We don't know too much about what it means because we don't know that much about what IQ is. We could find out more, but I doubt it's worth much. The average IQ of people the cops catch is about 82 in US society. We used to let kids with IQs above about 115 into grammar schools (about the top 30%).
I don't know what other views are in here. I'm convinced some people are as daft as mops, but this seems little to do with race. It is linked with something we call intelligence, but I'm not sure IQ has much to do with that. I'm bored with racist explanations and sick of the eugenic origins of tests like this. How about this guess. People can not be turned on at all to conforming to whatever gives a high IQ. Mine was high as a kid, but I've banged my head against a lot of walls since. Maybe we have it so wrong our best people tend to rebel against doing what is socially approved as doing well and achieving in the rip-off society?
