Rapping is a career, too. And.? Doesn’t mean it’s reasonable to expect white kids to choose this path in parity with black kids any more than its reasonable to expect the same with basketball.
Okay, no disagreement from me either.
And this is where you stray into unreasonableness. White kids are given every advantage to determine all of their potentials? Really? Not only are you using absolutes like “every” and “only”, but you even go so far as to emphasize the absolutes, which further reduces the credibility of what you’re writing. Moreover, it can’t be reconciled with what you wrote just a paragraph before.
A child of two physicians very well might be the next Michael Jordan. But how he is going to be given every advantage to determine his potential in athletics when his background so heavily favors an academic/medical career track? These parents aren’t sending him to basketball camp, when they’d rather have him in the hospital shadowing Daddy. It’s unlikely that the child of hockey fans is going to be groomed for basketball either.
It’s not an obvious example of disparate outcomes being the result of reasons other than skewed opportunity (as its just as contentious if not moreso than the theory that some races are smarter than others), so perhaps it’s time you pick another example to work with.
Your basic argument is pretty simple: it’s possible that there is a gene or genes related to intelligence that are found disproportionately in some racial groups than others.
All it takes to support this argument is citing known (as opposed to speculative) examples of such a phenomenon. For example, it is a documented fact that Asians as a group as less able to metabolize alcohol due to a lack of certain enzymes. This is largely why alcholism is less prevalent among Asians. This is a reason that has more to do with nature than nurture.
Ergo, therefore, yadda,yadda, it is possible that intelligence follows a similar mechanism.
See how easy it was for me to put together a straightforward, noncontroversial argument to support your position? There is absolutely no need to appeal to the mythology of the “dumb brute”, which is a trap you fall into time and time again when we debate this subject.
When you find yourself drawing the same kind of speculative conclusions that pundits did decades ago when assessing all those Jewish basketball players, consider that it’s time to start thinking like a scientist in the 21th century.
