+1 not for myself i've had bad experiences growing up and accept some realities but my friend is as colorblind as they come and we fight to the death about the racial motivation (or in his case the lacktherof) of many historical events. His dad is the same colorblind way. both are white BTW. colorblind ppl do exist believe it or not but i do like how you justify your "little racism" by saying everyone does it.... :roll:

    Reasons for IQ differences:

    Code: Select all

    1- The Worldwide Pattern of IQ Scores. East Asians average higher on IQ tests than Whites, both in the U. S. and in Asia, even though IQ tests were developed for use in the Euro-American culture. Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks about 85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa.

    2- Race Differences are Most Pronounced on Tests that Best Measure the General Intelligence Factor (g). Black-White differences, for example, are larger on the Backward Digit Span test than on the less g loaded Forward Digit Span test.

    3- Brain Size Differences. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) find a correlation of brain size with IQ of about 0.40. Larger brains contain more neurons and synapses and process information faster. Race differences in brain size are present at birth. By adulthood, East Asians average 1 cubic inch more cranial capacity than Whites who average 5 cubic inches more than Blacks.


I believe it's partly parents, and partly the media. Teenagers and children who see things like the above normally assume that the statistics mean something definitely when it's only a study and varies from person to person. It's genetics, parenting, living situations, and emotional health that contribute to intelligence and crimes. In no way is any race superior to another, because when it comes down to it- we're all built the same. We all have genetic differences, and every person is unique. Even if blacks commit more crimes than whites, it doesn't mean that whites are better.
Name ten black serial killers. Now name ten white serial killers. It's easier to name the white ones, isn't it?

Media in all countries feeds off of the negative side of things and helps make the generalizations and prejudices that we have today. White people aren't the only racists, neither are blacks or Latinos. How you treat and view people depends on your upbringing, and your friends, because they are the two main influences in your life. If a celebrity is known for a racist remark then if they're weak-minded enough then some people will start to follow along.

How nice of you to generalize... just trying to keep old prejudices up? You don't seem to be German to me after all. I could call this racist now as well, or isn't it racist to call other people racist and thus discriminate against them?

While the term "racist" standing for saying anything bad about anyone, as done in most posts here...

Happy flaming <3
