What do you think causes perceived differences between races?

Question

I'm seeing questions about race on here, some regular curiosity and some hateful, but I would like to know is what you guys think causes statistical differences in races. There are statistics like the following

Asians and ethnic European Jews (ave. IQ 110) are more intelligent than Whites (ave. IQ 100), Whites are more intelligent than Blacks (ave. IQ 70-85 depending on who you ask).

Blacks are better endurance athletes, while Asians are seemingly more flexible for sports like gymnastics, and Whites are in the middle.

Blacks have higher rates of twinning (having twins) than Whites, and many more than Asians.

These are generalizations, I believe people shouldn't be judged by generalizations but by how they actually are. There are very intellectual Blacks and good White athletes, but what does cause such statistical differences in the races? Genetics, environment, culture, or a combination of? After almost a century of trying to erase race it's still here. Please Be Nice.

Red Rose there have been IQ tests taken of Black children adopted by White middle class parents with adopted White children. The Black children on average test lower than their White sibilings. This seems to indicate genetics, but is there something I'm not seeing? (I'm not trying to be sarcastic it is just very confusing to be told race doesn't exist and then I see things like the above, that's why I asked your opinion.)

I don't aim to be racist. My adopted cousin is Sioux and I know people of Black, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern background. I repeat I'm just curious, and maybe I am racist it is after all hard to judge yourself.

Answer 1

IQ tests do not prove anything. Why do you people always think you are superior to everyone else, when you are not. You people have many, many flaws, but you are very good at covering them up. Also if blacks are so stupid, then how comes we can build pyramids, invent paper etc and please do not tell me that Egyptians were not black, because they are, especially ones from the early Egyptian dynasties. Whites in power have systematically pulled blacks down all over the world. Is it not time that you that you said sorry for slavery and also paid compensation for the suffering caused. All you ever do and others like you, is belittle Afro Americans and other Blacks, but you never want to pay up for your evil past. You people are very evil and manipulative and one day (it already is in some cases) will turn back on you. STOP BEING SO RACIST, SAY SORRY FOR SLAVERY AND DISCRIMINATION OVER THE CENTURIES AND DECADES AND FIND A WAY TO PAY AFRO AMERICANS, AFRO CARRIBEANS COMPENSATION, so we don't feel like such a burden on you people. I am really sick of people like you making every other culture different, to yours, especially (Black Afro American/Carribean) feel like absolute s***. You people are certainly not perfect and you may control this world, BUT YOU DO NOT OWN IT!!!!! let that stick in your stupid little head. I absolutely HATE!!! people like you and don't try and justify what you say either, by using some rubbish weak study as back up, or using some crappy cliche, such as "can't sugar coat the truth" or "chip on the shoulder", because I won't be having none of it. (Yes and I used the term YOU PEOPLE a nasty habit I picked up, from what you can believe YOU PEOPLE).

Answer 2

The acceptance of what you just said, I break it down
1 -Asians and ethnic European Jews (ave. IQ 110)= no common seance

2 - Whites (ave. IQ 100), Whites are more intelligent than Blacks (ave. IQ 70-85 depending on who you ask)=common seance

3 - Blacks are better endurance athletes,= white audiences

4 - Asians are seemingly more flexible for sports like gymnastics,
= not a true statement many white Russian, French are very good at this sport
5 - Whites are in the middle.= Blacks take the money now like in pro football, but in pro ball the team is only good if mixed about 50-50 or 60-40 of W/B players on offense and 99% black on defense, just go look at the records and you will see I lie not

But the truth is you just wanted to bash the blacks in a polite way, smoke screen

Answer 3

The reason why black people are assumed to not be as intelligent as whites is the fact that we just received our freedom less than 70 years ago. Black people were depressed for a very long time while all the white people were allowed to go to college get degrees and have great careers in anything they wanted black people were discriminated against, not even allowed to go to college and of course only being offered low paying jobs. So in a sense black people were not able to further their education like white people did.
So please read a History book and open your mind to WHY things are they way they are now, and what caused it instead of looking at modern statistics and basing your assumptions off of them.

Answer 4

Basically very little, just different tribes that had mixed to a certain extent throughout history. The genocide was triggered when a Tutsi officer assassinated the Hutu President of Burundi and his second in command who was the natural successor which ultimately led to a backlash against Tutsi's and across the border into Rwanda. Colonial powers didn't help, neither did German missionaries who rewarded servitude with land. More Hutu's became Catholic in comparrison to Tutsi's and therefore were rewarded with land, including some taken from Tutsi's that did not convert.

Answer 5

I really believe it's culture. Genetics and environment certainly play a role but overall it's the culture we grow up in. It's what is available to help us achieve, who helps with homework, who is home alone raising themselves when the parents are out working or worse. Stuff like that. What is acceptable in one culture is not acceptable in others.

Answer 6

My personal opinion has to do with the environment you live in, meaning the people around you. We would all like to think that we are not influenced by others and that we make our own decisions. But chances are, if you are brought up in a family who used the black racial slur (which I REFUSE to type), then you are probably going to use it. Why? Because you don't see it as wrong. I think its the people you associate yourself with, and the people who are in your life.

Answer 8

Religion is too be blamed, especialy Christianity. The tower of Babel story sums it real good. Then you have Islam to point the finger at.
All racists groups are of some sort of religious background.
