Yep, I agree. I suppose the people funding these studies have motives and points they want to make.
I'm also amazed at the poor judgement on behalf of the TV channel. What are they thinking?
Here we go on 'statistics' again. I could give evidence on just about anything if I used the right questions and the right demographics. Now if they were to shed some light on what 'IQ' questions were asked and to whom and where their findings were made, it might be more plasible but to be complete, your fundings would have to be way up there as to take your sample findings from all cultures, beliefs and demographics. Needless to say, I don't put much faith in statistical beliefs.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in studies on IQ tests lately?
'Studies reveal whites are more intelligent than blacks.'
'Studies reveal atheists are more intelligent than theists.'
'Studies reveal [political affiliation] is more intelligent than [political affiliation.' (I've seen both sides for this one).
'Studies reveal males have higher IQ's than females.'
I'm all for examining the human condition and discovering new things even if the answer may be hard to handle. But all these divisive IQ studies of Group A vs. Group B seem to be on the rise.

And who's being hysterical?
out of curiosity, if i said "white people are more susceptible to sunburn than black people", would you also have an issue?
Hands down one of the dumbest comparisons I have ever seen on ATS.

I'm an American and I have yet to find any pure bloods here. I myself have 6 different bloods. My children 8, so if they can claim one race is smarter than another how does this affect a mutt?
I'm an American mutt.

agreed!!! I'm so sick of this RACE talk. There is NO SUCH THING as different races!! Different tribes of the Human Race, is what we concern ourselves way too much with.....Why the constant comparison? What do studies like this really accomplish?
Attention white people: We are white because our ancestors moved into caves and into colder climates where they didn't get as much sunlight! Get over it! The black people stayed outside! Who cares?
