Truth because some people actually do grow up believing that being smart, is dumb or at least "not cool". How do I know this? Well, I grew up around people this way. People who, because off peer pressure, purposely try not to learn. I asked them why and the answer was "its not cool". So its not because I dont want to believe certain people are dumb. Im saying they are dumb because of their stupid mistake not genetics. And im sorry to say but your reasoning is quite biased.
Yes, I know it's considered "not cool" to be smart by certain people. However, that changes absoutely NOTHING. There may STILL be genetic factors involved also.
I'm also sorry to say but your reasoning is quite simplistic.
While I do acknowledge there MAY be little racial differences in AVERAGE intelligence, I'm NO racist. I don't regard non-whites (I'm a white Dutch guy) as inferior and I don't oppose race-mixing. As a matter of fact, I would certainly date certain non-white chicks FYI.
Well you never really had to clarify that your not racist; I actually understand your argument. Also, it seems that you understand mine. Even if the differences are small mentally, your argument is that there IS a difference. I was just concerned that your point of view was that there is a big difference. Although even if there was you do find that people who arent intellectually proficient in one area are good in other areas
IIN to think racists are smart

True, but only caused by the way these people grow up.

Are you sure that's actually true, or if it's merely what you'd LIKE to be the case?
