Are there statistical differences between groups with regard to things like IQ? Probably. This is likely to be true whether you compare black Americans to white Americans or french Americans to Russian Americans. I wouldn't be surprised if you found some sort of statistical disparity just comparing right handed individuals vs left handed ones. In a way it seems less likely for different groups to match up completely in every domain than for there to be some sort of statistical disparity. I think the implications of this are less profound than a lot of "race realists" tend to presume. |

I actually disagree.
There are likely to be disparities between groups either way, because it's just a random distribution of certain traits and there's no reason for them to be identical. Like there can be average height differences between groups as well. There's no inherent reason all groups should be equally equipped in every domain. |

The thing to remember is they are statistical differences, not hard rules. |

There’s this and that impediment to drawing a convincing conclusion and we jump all over them when science doesn’t align with what we’re comfortable with or even might have the potential to. Hell, we can’t study race. Race isn’t even real. Black people don’t even have darker skin. It’s not like back in Darwin’s day when people were just pulling science out of their ass in accordance to social taboos. We’re all about the truth.

Like the very idea of race has no basis in biology and the way we categorized people by race were largely based on superficial cues that don't match up with specific genetically distinct groups. |

Right. It’s just by magic that people notice you’re the only white guy in a crowd.
