If you are going to call someone racist, at least have the balls to come out and say it. Not that it is any of your business, but my wife is of a different race. Not exactly common behavior for the aryan nation type. You are pathetic. Rather than raise a single scientific issue, you simply say, no reason to study this it doesn't mean anything. And then, when all else fails, you play the race card.

Race is considered when researching all sorts of physical and psychological fields. Diets, for example, often have a racial element in their study. You seem to be proud of your high IQ, yet you are incapable of discussing this subject intelligently.

The reason I pointed out the Scotland/Ireland factoid was because I saw that information in an article about a census taken in the UK which specifically listed, Northern Ireland and Scotland as having higher overall average. The entire point, (if you could use all of that massive IQ you purport to have) is that in all the articles I have ever read on this issue, some groups such as Anastasi Jews are singled out while other groups such as "white" and "Asian" are always lumped together. The idea being that while Anastasi Jews is a small sample (population-wise) "white" or more so, "Asian" is a huge non-descript sample. It would be more scientifically valuable if studies were done to narrow down these groups.

It could be found that simply changing your diet could boost your IQ by 5 points, wouldn't that be interesting! Of course, you see absolutely no reason to study this, since you are already Einstein's second coming. But for those who have learning disabilities, they might just like to have a drug or diet or who knows what to help them lead more normal lives.

Pardon me now, I have to go pay tribute the Fuhrer for inspiring me during this post!

"Anastasi Jews"? I think you meant Ashkenazi (European) Jews. Maybe conflated with Anasazi, a missing culture which was quite advanced, in what we now think of as Navajo territory.

No, with respect to your post, what amused me is that you call yourself "thedugal," which probably means that you're Celtic. So talking about Irish and Scots being smarter than other whites is rather self-serving.

It's just a little tacky to assert that your own ethic group is smarter than average. If you saw an Italian man arguing that Italians are smarter, or a Greek arguing that Greeks are smarter, maybe you'd see the humor.

Or maybe you don't see the humor in crowing that your own kind are the epitome of intelligence, especially based on group averages?

white" or more so, "Asian" is a huge non-descript sample.

"White", "black", "Asian" are all huge non-descript samples. White is a dumb definition as then I'd include Japanese who are 'white'. Ditto for 'blacks' to whom I would include southern Indians and Maoris/Melanesians. Keeping it at the only 3 broad 'races' Caucasian, Afroid and Mongoloid is again too broad. Coming down to british, French etc. again is too broad. How do you define what is broad or not??? THe only real sample is the individual
