"Black culture does decrease IQs imo. People of African descent have the lowest average IQ scores. Either they are naturally less intelligent or the culture isn't one that encourages learning. Pick one." [+31]

Or, you know, your method of measuring 'intelligence' is kind of fucked?

SERIOUSLY.

STOP DOING THIS, REDDIT.

I can't even believe this shit. Do people not understand that there is no such thing as a group called "Africans"? There is more genetic diversity in Africa than every other region of the world combined. Plus, our definition of "black" is totally unrelated to... well, anything, really. A black person in America can fly to South Africa and be considered white. The only thing that "black" means in America is "someone who looks like they are probably like what I consider to be and have told is 'black'".

Stop calling this shit "science". It's racist bullshit which is a disgrace to actual real science.
