College Professor Says Math Is Racist, Anti-Gay, etc

There is no credible evidence that I'm aware of that any one race is more intelligent than another. But there is no point in discussing the issue with you, because your mind is made up. Having clearly never bothered to cultivate your own intellect, thinking of yourself as a member of the "master race" is too important to your self-esteem to entertain other ideas.

"There is no credible evidence that I'm aware of that any one race is more intelligent than another.'

Is there any "credible" evidence that all races are equal that you are aware of?

Make your own thread about it, Spanky, and have a Heil Hitlering good time with it.

Try reading Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" if you think the relative positions of "races" in the modern world reflect innate differences of ability in the "races".

I was just showing you reasoning was meritless...no need to show your true colors (pun intended)

I'm giving you advice on how not to be an ignorant idiot though it obviously too late.

Why don't you just read the book?

why dont you read all the studies showing the abilities in the different races?

Such studies fail to control for the innumerable confounding variables arising from cultural differences, socioeconomic status, geography, historical experiences, linguistic influences, and so on. The IQ tests, themselves, have demonstrated a racial bias deriving from the selfsame variables. Bias is the most difficult thing to control for in any statistical analysis. Even experiments on mice have been recently discovered to be bedeviled by significant biases tracing back to which supplier the mice came from.

I can't claim to fully understand why anyone (like you) would subscribe to such boneheaded tribalism, given the complete failure of experimentalists to produce a study demonstrating the inferiority of any one race that stands up to peer review and can be replicated. Frankly it's just depressing to ponder, and during my more charitable moods I can only find it within myself to pity you.

Addendum: studies of the brain structures of different ethnicities seem to always fail the Bonferroni correction. I throw this in to convey an inkling of the extreme difficulties in nailing down what appear to be at best extremely miniscule differences in the brain. The Bonferroni correction, to be clear, concludes that any purported differences are statistically insignificant, and that's despite all the confounding variables I listed in my previous post. What's worse for your case (i.e. that some races are genetically inferior mentally) is that there are likely many more confounding variables that are as yet unknown.

so you nailed the all time puzzle, bonferoni got it figured out.

You know you could always do as I do and open your eyes. You are making a decision based on emotion…not a wise choice.

You are by no stretch the paragon of dispassionate discourse here, and I'm confident my choice to not be a racist as​shole is the correct one.

yeah I see you speaking up all the time when those white cracker comments come out.

You are not fooling anyone.

on a side note…what would you libs do without the word racist?

Thankfully the word exists so we can describe someone who stupidly believes that "races" are superior/inferior to other "races".
