    If you want a real-world example of “per captia” being falsely skewed, look up stats on crime or IQ per race. You’ll find they’re heavily skewed against black people. However, if you continue to dig, you’ll find there are plenty of reasons to question the validity of those stats.

    Yes this would imply that there’s only one body conducting these sorts of stats under just one metric. Except this is universal. Which is why I, in other comments, have pointed out crowdsourced lists as well… Showing that it’s not just the stats from the USA coming to this conclusion.

    The reason measuring IQ by race is an issue is because IQ isn’t even a good metric to measure intelligence anyway. Thus people who say that black people are less intelligent by measurement of IQ are morons from the get-go. And I never made “per capita” as my only proof. You’re just focused on that and have read other threads.

      Crowdsourcing info from people that aren’t experts and can’t tell the difference between a Pitbull and an American bulldog or a boxer, truly we’ve reached the peak of the scientific method!
