  stevia is just cacaplop trying to swamp these forums with repetitive, stupid racist questions, either via his own threads or crashing other threads.
  
  But, as always, take a look at his posting history and judge for yourself.
  
  If engaging with his inane racist posts is fun for you, then go for it.
  
  Otherwise, don't think you're answering sincere questions.

  The thing is, doesn't seem like it's a safe assumption that grades and test scores are actually a useful measure of ability. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-goog…

  There is a fair amount of social bias built into the tests themselves.

  ^ They are talking about IQ tests, not achievement tests. If you have taken one, they put you into situations and you are supposed to figure out a sequence or objective. Some people might not understand the circumstances because they have not been in a particular situation before. Or that is not something that happens in their life.
  
  It's been a while since I took one. I thought I wanted to become a part of Mensa so I took one of their qualifying tests. I scored high enough, but passed on joining. Why do I need a card that says I am smart ? If people can't tell from interacting with me, then what good is showing them a Card going to do ?

  When scientific issues become political or economic issues, it's hard for this not to corrupt the scientific process. But, for reasons someone who didn't totally sleep through high school can understand, these claims of African genetic inferiority are extremely implausible. Among living species, humans have extremely little genetic variation. So, implausible that a complex, hard to define, characteristic like intelligence would vary a lot based on genetic differences. And Africa, as the human home continent, has the most genetically varied population. If anything, Africans would be superior, since natural selection has a more varied set of mutations to select from.
  
  Since IQ tests are used for screening purposes, they are not very useful if everyone gets a similar score. Questions that everyone answers correctly are taken off the test. But the questions that are left don't necessarily measure reasoning ability well. They tend to measure how much the person's life experience has familiarized them with the schemas that are needed to understand the question.

  Is 13% of the population responsible for 50% of the violent crime? Life is a box of chocolates. Don't eat the yellow snow.

  Only a minority of either black or white people commit violent crimes. Why should anyone be held responsible for something someone else did?
