Stereotypes: Believe in Them?

<p>

Seconded.</p>

<p>PlattsburghLoser, if we accept that the IQ score is an accurate measurement of intelligence, that it is true a better education results in a higher score, then we still conclude based on the data that the average white person is smarter than the average black person in the US. That this difference is brought about by education is irrelevant for the purposes of the stereotype; it still exists and the statement is still true; you just provided a reason why. All your statement says is that intelligence can be influenced by education and that white people receive a better one, not that blacks are on average as smart as whites.</p>
