Of course, there is no exact evidence that different races possess different intelligence (g factor (IQ)). Let’s pretend blacks have the same genes for intelligence as East Asians and white people. However, there have been experiments with the exchange of children of different races into respectively different families (black children into white families and vice versa). And the results were saddening. Tons of prominent scientists are advocating (or must advocate) something indisputable.
I hate any kind of racial hate
While I am trying to explore the truth, I must highlight that I hate racial hate. I don’t care whether you are white, black, brown, yellow. But I assess individuals by their intelligence, talents, creativity, morals and last but not least their personality. No racial hate belongs to this world. And I am saying it as I live in a racially hateful country where color of your skin determines who you are.
The best option is to improve people no matter what race they are (IQ 400: Rise of AI-Humans and Robots, Jan Bryxí 2025).
The minority isn’t such a minority
There were 47.2 million African-Americans in 2021. No matter how adverse environmental factors such as upbringing, culture, education, socioeconomic conditions, access to quality education, nutrition, and social support systems were, the USA still has competitive chances for everyone and statistical distribution always produces an aberration. We should also note there were programs with massive positive discrimination. So hundreds of Nobel Prizes were awarded to Americans. And of course, we cannot count the 1950’s and so on where extreme racism was present) with still no African-Americans as winners (and there should be a lot of them).
But we must admit there have been a lot of black children adopted into white families (9,588 in 2020). Such a huge number would be expected to produce at least some individuals who become extremely good scientists or people placed in extremely cognitively demanding occupations.
Black children are not raised just in African-American communities (or broadly the American culture). They are raised in German, British or French cultures. And a lot of adoptions into white families had happened in countries besides the USA. As a matter of fact, the billions of black people live in many different countries.
However, they have their own overachievers (you can find them in sports, music and so on) but no results in cognitively highly demanding disciplines.
Put black or Hispanic children into an overachieving culture
Making black or Hispanic children at least more intelligent? Put them into East Asian or Jewish families and make the government pay for it. But putting them in cultures that care for their children to be over-achievers. The Ashkenazim Jewish or East Asian family would provide far better start for Hispanics and African-Americans and disprove the claims of some theorists that their behavior (heightened criminality, for example) is genetically given. I call efforts to mark races with some particular behavior excluding IQ as incredibly ridiculous. As a matter of fact, send the check for the exchange to super-rich interest groups. It would be a drop in the bucket for them.
Meanwhile exploring DNA connected with intelligence would prove some races have lower intelligence. Heavily funded research or superhuman AI project would uncover the truth. But if we explore our DNA more, we would find decisive evidence whether racial intelligence is a reality or a myth. However, such an approach would likely prove there are innate differences between human races.
The important thing is that no matter what the truth is, we should never incline to racial hate.
