White Genetically Weaker Than Blacks, Study Finds
Fox News ^ | Friday, February 22, 2008

Posted on 02/22/2008 11:13:54 AM PST by Sopater

White Americans are both genetically weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University-led study finds.

Researchers analyzed the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestry and 15 African-Americans.

The Europeans showed much less variation among 10,000 tested genes than did the Africans, which was expected, but also that Europeans had many more possibly harmful mutations than did African, which was not.

A serious scientific study, with which all well-intentioned people will have to agree. There is consensus, the books are closed, this is a done deal. Blacks are better than whites.

In other news, scientists say that whites have higher IQs than blacks.

And that would be hateful, racist, clearly wrong, and those scientists should be deprived of all access to government grants for the rest of their lives.

Best to not push the issue too hard. Like letting sleeping dogs sleep.

Yes, and Ashkenazic Jews show less "genetic diversity" yet have, arguably, the highest average IQ on the planet.

What a load of merde. There are just as many, if not more, arguments to be made AGAINST "hybrid vigor" than for it.

The argument in this study is similar to arguing that a mutt is genetically superior to a purebread Jack Russell.

I can only wonder how much such a study cost and the reasons they gave for having such study.

In the end..... what good does it do?

Yeah, yeah. And we can't dunk either.

But we can swim. I'll take swimming over dunking a basketball. /s

I will say this, black guys look a hell of a lot better bald than white guys. I’ve never seen a shaved head on a black guy that didn’t look better than having hair. Most white guys with shaved heads look like chemo patients.

If this is true, are white people going to get affirmative action programs to “help ‘em out”? And are they going to get “hate crime” laws to give them special protection?

In any random group of 15 Americans classified as "African-Americans", at least 10 will have some European ancestry, while in a random group of 20 Americans classified as "white", you will likely get 19 or 20 of exclusively European ancestry.

So clearly the African-American group will have European plus African genetics and be more "diverse."

In terms of "weakness" as measured by number "harmful mutations", it only takes one mutation - spread out amongst the group - to really weaken it. Like sickle-cell.
