    If beauty, or the lack of it, is only skin deep, then if we round up all the mingers, skin them alive and send them on their way. It should have the same effect.

    Cant be bothered with this race/intelligence thing again but the figures do seem remarkably consistent. Think it's more the conclusions some draw that may be wrong.

    Hardly deliberate bias by white racists anyhow as they also universally show that Asians are brighter than us.

    Decades back when most people were white (blacks tend to be taller generally so it doesn't work anymore) you could walk around places in London and see the correlation of success to height. Diet maybe? In markets in poor crummy areas one felt taller by contrast.

    If intelligence is directly proportional to height, threaded would be three metres tall.

    Whoa Francko, hold on a minute. I'm going to play devil's advocate here.

    Why is all research in this field crap?
    First, it might well be a casual distribution that is lucky for one particular race at one particular moment, it doesn't have to mean that one race is more clever than the other.
    Well, that is not impossible, but improbable if results from different researches show similar results.
    Secondly, because all those race statistics do no count that white people are on average richer so they can give more education to kids, spend more time with them, so on... the same applies to children with an above than average height, they are more certainly children of richer people who could afford better food, better education, etc. etc.
    Perhaps what you are unwittingly describing is how evolution works. Maybe it was the same in the cold climates thousands of years ago, when "white" people had to work out better ways of hunting scarce resources, learn to store food (become "rich"), learn to find or make shelter and keep warm, and to work harder at keeping their offspring alive in the cold. They developed differently.
    I am amazed that if the man on the street can come up with some discriminatory statement against any category is labelled as a racist/sexist/ect. while academic scientists can get away with that, covered by obviously flawed researches.
    Don't you think it more amazing that academic research is always flawed if it produces descrimitary or politically incorrect results?

    It is obviously because white people are institutionally racist, and owe any non-white people an apology and lots and lots of money.

    You should understand, thousands of years of evolution, have no meaning in todays political climate... white people must pay the price for having been successful.

Let's keep it going. I have more scientific proof of the opposite in this picture than the whole study:
