I thought this simply can’t be true. But I know you guys want facts.
So I did a test.
My assumption is all babies were equal.
I have two friends that have mixed babies and I have two coworkers that have all white or all black babies. They ranged in ages of 5 months to 13 months.
I put them all in a group and asked each one if they were smarter than the others.
Believe it or not, NOT ONE baby said they were.

well, there you go. irrefutable proof.
Good job, Markxxx
Neither have I … ever. Please give us one single cite of this argument being rationally made and/or defended. I want to be better informed and am stunned that I have completely missed the discussions buzzing around this interesting question.
I’m not sure about that. Studies that are racially charged
have a hard time getting approved and/or funded.
A statistically noticable difference might be 4-5 points. When I thought “significant” though, I was thinking more on the scale of 10-20 points. A disparity on that scale wouldn’t need funding or research to notice and once everyone “knew” it, it would only be a matter of time before it would be scientifically confirmed. (Some years ago I heard a statistic that Japan’s average IQ was 110; I’ll see if I can produce a cite for that.) I concur with your opinion on governmental reaction though.
