What the problem is the culture, not the actual physical race, why do you think Asians who are taught to try and are expected be the best in every way are the most prosperous race in America? And in contrast, people who adopt the culture of the ghetto don't do as well? And this is statistically validated. This isn't going to make everyone think, this makes you look like a racist.

I can think of one legitimate definition of racism and it doesn't apply because there's no race based hatred. The word "racist" is mostly used as a club to beat ppl down when it's convenient for the aggrieved to do so. And how do cultural norms come about? Utterly apart from genetics? I think not. And as a white guy I'm not gonna throw a hissy fit at the very thought of Asians having a particular genetic advantage. Or Jews for that matter. It just is what it is. For the longest time I wished I was taller and I'm not short! But finally I had the sense to figure I'd bump my head more while still acknowledging that being taller would have some advantages along with challenges. And I certainly didn't indicate that I thought *everyone* would have an intelligent thoughtful response nor necessarily a majority. But if even one person etc etc :D

To suggest that someone has a genetic advantage is to suggest superiority, which is racism, I don't like the "You're racist" card either, but to completely disarm it because some people abuse it is not okay, racism is the idea that one race is superior in comparison to the other. If you believe that certain races have higher IQ's or are more athletic which gives them an advantage by default, you are racist.

Wow. smh Having a superior ability in math or athletics doesn't make one a superior person.

YESSS!!! It is a cultural thing, I've lived in the American ghetto and I can tell you for a fact that Basketball is marketed as an African American. Racial determinism is one of the core aspects of racism which you are proposing. If I say "Arabs have different mannerism, they are more aggressive and violent." doesn't that suggested that Arabs are inferior? Racial determinism is racist, period.

And people are only as good as their qualities if I look at a person who is intelligent and is contributing to society, they are obviously superior to someone who is lazy and doesn't contribute. BTW, I love how you are ok with racial determinism, but when someone says that positive qualities make certain people better than others is where you draw the line.

I don't believe in "racial determinism". I just acknowledge that genetics have a signicant impact on how ppl are. And you could market basketball to the Asian community all you want that's not going to make anyone jump higher or run faster. There may well bemore Asian players as a result because there are those who can play at that level but do you think all else being equal Asians would have the same proportional representation in the NBA as blacks?

It is because it is their culture, that is what they do, they practice Basketball, and become NBA players. You completely leave out the reasoning behind my argument to try to make it look ridiculous, which is dishonest.

My argument -

Basketball is advertised and played more in the ghetto, so people who live in the ghetto, ( the majority of which is black), are going to play and practice more. Thus the black people make up the majority of the NBA.

Mate, if you believe that people's race influences their character attributes you are a racial determinist, your original post and the fact that you are arguing that black people are in the NBA because black people are more athletic, shows that I don't care what you think you are your actions say different which is more important than words. Look, dude, if someone tells you to become an athlete all your life and you practice (in the ghetto) obviously that's what you will do, but if someone tells you to become a doctor your whole life and you study medicine, obviously you will become a doctor. (Asians) The reason people from the "hood" often become athletes is that they are groomed to be that.

No, because that's a fact, but racial traits, like black people = more athletic, is racist.

I can't help your strange unfortunate inability to seperate having a superior advantageous ability partly based on genetics and being a better person. I wonder if the idea of an evil genius fries your mind. So a and b are fully of the saIQ race and are in fact fraternal twins. Due to genetics a has a much higher IQ than b. He is also a notorious scoundrel while b is one of the best ppl you could ever hope to meet. And so real life goes at times. But you can't see IQ as neutral when it comes to being a better or worse person. It may be that best person I will ever know in this world is a black person with a low IQ whose biological parent have a very high IQs. And the worst person may be a white with a super high IQ.

I don't feel the need to insist that it could not possibly be so. But to you it's a problem. I have this whole time treated IQ difference as neutral as to who is a better person.

No, it's just data if we ask ourselves, "We have the data, but what does it mean?" you say "Racial differences make black people dumber", I say "Maybe the culture they surround themselves in makes them lose interest in academia." Is there a difference in racial IQ's, maybe, does that mean that it directly correlates to physical differences in races. Absolutely not, especially when there is evidence to support that black people who don't grow up in the ghetto are extremely successful, this is an issue of culture, not race.

MY RESPONSE -

Your original argument was about race, not provable physical characteristics that are common in every race. And when looking at attributes, you have to look possibilities, right? So if I say, "Asians are smarter, and Black people are more athletic." I could easily go on to say "I argue that because intelligence is a lasting useful trait unlike strength, Asians are superior." Racial character traits have been used to justify racism, so they are racist.

P.S Having fun mocking me there I bet you wouldn't say what you preach in real life lol, I dare you to go up to a black person and tell them that you're smarter because you are white. I'm calling a spade a spade, I'm not preventing you from speaking I am criticizing your speech which is valid. You are a racist mate.

Well, if I may, I understood it a bit differently ...

The point, as I see it, is not in abusing the differences between races in those mentioned areas but rather to simply aknowledge them as they are. Today we are obsest with fearing anthropological honesty, just to protect ourselves from hypothetic nazism or fascism evolving out of it.

Isn't the point of a civilized society (or one of the points), to have honest discussions about such things while having VALUES to protect them from just such racist actions?

Then why, my good sir, have many different races happened to evolve due to colonial "intervention"?
I don't know about the skull size or the melanin ... Perhaps they have nothing to do with psychology or physiology. But the fact is, that many third-world countries "suffer" lower average IQ rates. Why is that? Just due to society and arrested developement? Why is it arrested? Are you sure colonialism is the only one to blame, as you would most likely argue? Are you sure there isn't anything genetic or biological in the background?

I'm not saying, you can't succed if you come from a different race. Race is not the only factor, ofcourse. But - have you ever thought about how western society contributed to these people having the right circumstances for succes? Dare I say there have been inter-racial marriages that contributed to the gene pool as well?

I don't want people of other races murdered or in concentration camps or whatever. All I am suggesting is that there might be more to it than what we are "allowed" to discuss in todays society. Maybe there are other variables at play, that we do not allow ourselves to explore or proove. And we also have a value system, so that if we stick by it, we do not stray from a humane approach to the matter.

I really don't want to be "racist" about this matter. But if this makes me a racist, then screw it, I am.

The reason people in less developed countries have lower IQ's is that they don't have the resources to exist, there have been records showing people from less developed countries moving here, and they do extremely well in all fields of academia. As for the other points, I don't see how they matter or prove anything.

What do inter racials have to do with anything? Why does what we give other races matter in terms of racial given attributes? What do all of your questions do or change about the conversation?

P.S You don't have to argue for the lynching of other races to be racist, racism is the belief that certain races are better than others, surely if there are differences in character traits, they are not evened out, as even the original poster makes that distinction by saying that the world is not egalitarian, so if nature is not equal and egalitarian, by your viewpoints there must be a superior race.

You are confident that physical differences do not account in any signicant way for the difference in proportional representation in the NBA between blacks and non-blacks. Which is utterly absurd. Race is a matter of human genetics and genetics have more of an impact than you will admit. What can I do? I reject your use of the word racist against me. Now what in the world does a black chess prodigy prove? No one said NO black ppl have great intellectual prowess in various areas. We're talking about averages. And if whites and Asians had the exact same opportunites and interest in martial arts Asians may well prove to be markedly superior. What does that have to do with basketball? Minor differencrs? Height difference is a minor difference in basketball? Fast twitch muscles are irrelevant? Spartans in the NBA? A small group of white ppl long ago proves what?

What my arguments try to prove is that people can be great in both areas, regardless of race, and these people are normal people, they are not prodigies or super-human, such as in my example of Bruce Lee, they studied and perfected their arts and passions and have in turn become great at what they do.

The definition of racism is the belief that one race is better than the other, knowing this you contradict yourself you say that certain people have a skill and a disadvantage based on race, therefore, as you state in the NBA about black people being there because they are more athletic, therefore by your criteria they must be intellectually disadvantaged (making the racial difference balanced according to you) But in the original post you that the world is not equal or egalitarian, so if the world is not equal there must be a race with less negative qualities or more positive qualities that would make it superior, at least by the conflicting logic you follow. Thus, this world-view is racist because it results in racism.

Actual history is filled with people of your caliber trying to justify colonialism by using pseudoscience, and even if the SJW put out propaganda none one believes them.

The NBA is completely arbitrary, white people dominate other sports (hockey and fencing being just two examples), so it's not that black people are physically superior because they, should dominate in every sport then, because the example you provided is arbitrary, you need to provide scientific evidence for your claim. You are taking satire "White men can't jump" and using it as an argument, are you insane?!? And the idea that you embrace "the rainbow", the fact that something exists and you realize it is embracing it, what you need to decide to do is how to interpret race, (just outward differences which are supported by science), or your view (which was used to support racism, and is categorized under pseudoscience today, people have dealt with your thesis, and it is the one that's laughable, my idea is that someone's culture and choices influence their character), if this was so laughable and idiotic, then why did you agree with me?

Did you read your source? This article you sent me is unsure of itself, admits multiple contradictions, and disagrees with what its findings are and how to use them. With the multiple contradictions, that the article admits, it couldn't even pass on as a scientific theory, much less as scientific precedent,

"It’s a question of their motivation. This is a tool, not the tool," he says of consumers. "If they're relying on the genetic test as the only performance indicator to tell whether they will do good or bad in sports, they're going to be disappointed, because it's not for that purpose."

"The results do tell you whether you have this protein in your muscle. That is clear. We have no idea if it contributes to performing at anything but an elite level. Even there, there are contradictions. We have very little information that it affects kids' performance."

"It's very similar to gene therapy in medicine. It hasn’t been successful in medicine and never studied in sports performance. It’s a real ethical dark zone, because there are medical concerns even pursuing it and no evidence that it would really work. Anti-doping societies have come out against it. It is definitely a concern."

Data is data, interpreting data is totally different, my interpretation is what the article admits - this proves nothing, and the research is incomplete.

But let's say for the sake of argument that it is reliable, (which it's not), the original argument is genetic differences among races, how can you say that not every race has the genes in the article? You can't, but you need to prove it to prove your original point.

P.S - On your African American selective breeding argument I respond by saying, that even if it did affect anything, (which it doesn't), humans breed selectively on their own, it has been happening since the beginning of time (for humans), every human wanted to mate with the most muscular or physically built of their kind, that's why men are attracted to women with big breast and women are attracted to tall men (height being a genetic trait). It has only stopped being that way in some countries of today.

Here's one of many.
Grab a science book printed be for the Obama presidency and learn about genetics and how they are passed on in families.
This pc culture will eventually drive you insane.

This is another case of you not reading - The article just says that the boy is following in his father's footsteps, not that his father's past offered him a spot. The boy has his own achievements that allowed colleges to look at his record and offer scholarships.

"Melvin, who was named to Missouri’s Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999, is regarded as one of his alma mater’s all-time greats. A 6-foot-1 point guard, he averaged almost 14 points per game"

To say that the article you sent me proves anything, is deceptive and insulting, to not only me who feels like you are trying to deceive me, but to the young man who got a scholarship solely because of skill. You see an outcome, and you fill in a causation completely out of the blue. You're projecting with all of the articles you are using, your arguments are complete leaps of faith to defend them you would have to make many assumptions because your articles don't say your arguments are valid or even imply that they are.

Also, I have read many science books regardless of what administrations provide it as long as it's accurate. What does Obama have to do with it? Strength is an acquired trait it can't be passed down, inherited traits like height

P.S - I'm not P.C, how come whenever someone disagrees with a Trump supporter they are called P.C, it's just as bad Eddo1 when he called everyone he was arguing with a bigot and Islamophobe. (And yeah I called the original poster racist because he followed the dictionary definition of it. Calling a spade a spade.)

The article have you several possibilities.
So your saying an inherently strong family over generations is not passing on traits that make their offspring possibley genetically superior, given they actually tap into that trait. Youre denying science. Lol.
You have to think a little deeper I guess.
Why do you think high school freshman get full ride scholorahips in football, unproven, only on the basis that their father's were superior athletes. Because chances are of they tap into that superior genetic they will most likely be just as fast, strong, and a over all great athlete.

"The article have you several possibilities."

First, is this your only defense for your article? Second, the article admits contradictory data, so in the scientific world, it doesn't even qualify as a theory.

"So your saying an inherently strong family over generations is not passing on traits that make their offspring possibley genetically superior, given they actually tap into that trait. Youre denying science. Lol."

You are changing your whole entire argument, I said that acquired traits like strength can't be passed down like what you said about the "slave master breeding strong slaves to create strong slave children." If the trait is inherited like eye color then it will be passed down. But strength is an acquired trait, (you are making deceptive arguments, there is no such thing as an inherently strong person) I have yet to see a muscular baby, lol. (I mean this is 6th-grade science, I can't believe you are denying what even a 12-year-old knows as scientific fact, and then have the nerve to say that I am denying science.)

"Why do you think high school freshman get full ride scholorahips in football, unproven, only on the basis that their father's were superior athletes. Because chances are of they tap into that superior genetic they will most likely be just as fast, strong, and a over all great athlete."

Simple press coverage, this is the same question as "Why do the president's kids get free scholarships to college." Because it's good press coverage to say that "Oh the president sent his kids here." or "Oh LeBron James sent his kids here."

Show me an actual case where someone thought that the father's ability in a sport must be followed by the son, and therefore they should get a college degree automatically. That is the argument you're making, do you realize how insane that sounds?
I guess not, but I must be the insane one for saying that a person's surroundings affect their life, right?
