I doubt whether any of these types of studies are bias free.

I saw a newspaper report last year of an academic study that showed black africans had a lower average IQ than other races. The researcher was howled down as a racist. Research that shows racists as having lower average IQ is applauded by the PC types because its the outcome they want. Its like saying communists have lower IQ than free marketeers.

Does anyone know what the sample sizes were (I can't be bothered looking). Is 4 points statistically significant. If there were any sample groups that happed to have the reverse outcome (racist sample more intelligent) I bet the results were never published. :?

Asians (I believe) can be very racist. More so than WASPs. Would this study be relevent in Asia too?

That site is clearly not basing its results on hard science. Its more a
slam against racism. But I'm sure they feel as i do that there could be truth in the concept though.

I think its self evident that to believe what the neo-nazis say or to wear a white hood on your head, your not really all that smart :lol:

You people should to the test done by Harvard to see if you're a racist or not. I thought everyone was racist in some sort of way or another.

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/


so, now lets pause and think about this, that test gives a positive bias <a not racist bias> and I suspect pretty much every other racism test does aso, to people who don't make ignorant assumptions about other cultures <like that people in wheelchairs can't ski or something silly like that> so, if someone is less ignorant, lets say has a wider base of knowledge, a higher capacity to absorb information, dare I say a higher I.Q. than that son of a b***h is going to score higher on the not-a-bigot-o-meter

statistically insignificant collation of bad data

that test's scores can be manipulated on top of the fact that they are biased in a way that screams to me that the people putting the tests together are a little bigoted
