    IQ and Race

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4785574.stm

    Why are his views "abhorrent" if there is genuine data backing his claim?

      Ouch, what a sensitive one. If the data backs it up then isn't just like any other report? Can't see it being stomached very easily though. I predict a riot (at Leeds University).

          White people on average are inferior sprinters. Sorry, being abhorent there.

              Well the reason I posted this is because I disagree that there are certain issues that cannot or should not be discussed. You may argue against his theory provided you have marshalled your evidence (if you have some).
              But a knee jerk reaction calling him a racist is wrong.

                    Dr Munira Mirza, a tutor in multiculturalism and community relations at the University of Kent, told 5 Live she believed IQ differences could be explained by social and historical factors and did not exist for biological reasons.
                    Putting aside the rubbish title this person holds I think he/she may be on to something (well at least the social bit, I dont believe something that happened 1000 years ago affects how brainy people are now).

                    If you come from a poor social background then I guess you are more likely to be dumb? And since blacks make up the majority of those who inhabit the poor social areas then I guess this russkie aint really telling us anything we dont already know.
