African Americans might have been bred to be taller than their African counterparts.
And Poles might have been inbred to the point of mental retardation, but I don't agree with either theory.
Polish American IQ of 109, and an African American IQ of 85.
Now you tell me which one more closely resembles a retard?
The person who makes such as comment as you did.
My IQ is far higher than 109 and I am African American. On top of that, IQ tests have been shown to prove nothing.
A slight disagreement. IQ tests are a good tool for determining intelligence, but they have flaws. A main one being education levels where the test is merely determining a level of education, not intelligence.
If an IQ test is administered in Swahili or Portuguese, I doubt many people on this forum would do very well on it. Because of this limitation, it's important to measure IQ's given a group with the same exact education levels. Anyone who thinks education in the US is the same across all spectrums of society is fooling themselves.
