From the same scientists that brought you "men can be women" and "race does not determine IQ" and "illegal immigrants totally don't commit more crime guys trust us". I heckin love science!

Now I'm just curious, how the fuck does race determine IQ? That sounds like some nazi shit...

Yes it does, that means "sounds correct."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption...

Black kids adopted by well-off White families remain lower IQ than White kids adopted by well-off White families. In a world that actually gave a shit about the truth this wouldn't be news to you

Your example would actually prove the negative here. Adopting a black kid into the white family did not change the kid's race.

Adoption only changes the kid's environment. How do you read that as an indicator that race was the differentiator?

Do you mean only race of the immediate family in the household, not race of the person taking the test? That seems like a stretch to say it's race based at that point, and also a pretty useless data point unless your recommendation is to somehow leverage that by adopting more kids into white families because your belief is that will make them score higher on an IQ test and that a higher IQ score is a meaningful enough metric to propose such a big intervention.

Black kids start off lower IQ than White kids and environment doesn't change this, hence IQ isn't environmentally determined. Not sure what you don't understand about this.

Correlation and causation are a very different thing.

I don't have a solid enough understanding of the research to say whether IQ scores are correlated with race, but it seems plausible enough to me. That is very different from saying races causes it though. To study such a thing you have to control for so many other environmental and economic factors that it's unrealistic to do. The population sizes would be too small, or you missed controls and the data is garbage.

Yeah you go do that in the Congo. Get some up close and personal research done
