Do you own a car, fly anywhere, or eat imported food?
I think you misunderstanding what an 'airframe' is...

" intelligence being correlated with ethnicity is a plausible hypothesis"

No it's not, it's flat out racist.

The crazy workarounds are maybe bad designs, but an airframe design that's still in demand after 50 years and been built 10,000+ times isn't a crappy design.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone familiar with aviation agree that the 737 is a poorly designed airframe...

"All I'm saying is that much dumber people have been known to get much closer to taking over the world."

Like who?

Doesn't mean it a bad airframe...

This is completely false.
Southwest only has 34 737MAX planes in their fleet of 750 737s.

"crappy old airframe"

It's actually an incredible good design with a proven history. What exactly makes you think its such a "crappy" design?

"Extreme offense is usually taken when someone attempts to correlate intelligence with race"

As it should be, there's simply no data to back up claims like this.

If genetics played a roll in intelligence don't you think we'd see some intellectual differences between groups of genetically similar people(i.e. races), like we do with physical characteristics? Some races of people are taller than others on average, and some races are more resistant to certain diseases. Obviously we don't see differences like this when it comes to cognitive ability though.

"genes that make one less intelligent"

Come on, surely you aren't suggesting that genetics have anything to do with intelligence, are you?
