The racial differences in IQ are significantly more than 5 points. Sub Saharan Africans average 70 while Northern Europeans average 100. East Asians are 5 points above that.
These diferences are not social or cultural, so we should study them and deal with things like diversity understabding that outcomes in success are related to inteliibence. My brother who was a doctor told me that his class would have been 100% jewish if the admissions stabdards weren’t rigged. He knew this because he dated and married the dean’s secretary.
I say I’m glad my hip was replaces by a second generation Jewish orthopod instead of the affirmative action doctor admitted beside him.
We should recognize individual ability but not ignore racilal differences to say that everyone should participate equally in success, and if they don’t adjust the system tp accomodate tem.
The reason for the perception of inequality is......inequality.
Segregation in Africanized enclaves promotes inequality
“I say I’m glad my hip was replaces by a second generation Jewish orthopod instead of the affirmative action doctor admitted beside him.”
That is entirely your choice. Me, I would choose the Ortho who has a track record of successful operations, who has high ratings from patients and who has no lawsuits. If he or she comes from Africa or is African American or Israeli or went to Harvard Med School does not seem to me to be relevant when the choice is about an individual surgeon. I might follow your choice if there was no information on his or her actual job performance - but then that is a different kind of problem.
Some decades ago, the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study was done. They studied black kids adopted by white middle-class families in infancy. Testing their IQs at 17.
Want to guess the results?

The black adopted kids, raised in white middle class families, sent to white middle class schools, all their lives, averaged an IQ of 89.
White adopted kids: 106.
Biological kids of the adopting couples: 109.
To my knowledge, no further similar studies were ever done.
