Stereotypes: Believe in Them?

<p>Considering how reliable Wikipedia is known to be nor do I consider the SATs to be an accurate measure of intelligence, to answer your question: No.</p>

<p>The fact that you equate going to school as having an equal education is disheartening. Compare an inner predominately black inner city D.C. school to a majority white one in the Virginia suburbs, for example. The quality of education the provide are not equivalent. </p>

“Our study shows that differences in IQ test scores among blacks and whites may have little to do with genetics, and much to do with the relative quality of the educational opportunities afforded to blacks and whites,” said Mark R. Rank, Ph.D., associate professor at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work…</p>

<p>“Look at all high school students, including those who don’t go on to college, and you’ll find that whites on average increase their IQ scores more than twice as much as blacks during high school,” Rank said. “Research shows that many blacks, even those from higher-income families, have less access than whites to quality K-12 education. We suspect that this difference in educational quality contributes to the widening black-white IQ gap at the high school level by holding back some blacks who really have the potential to do much better.”

<p>Unless of course you’re arguing that blacks are just inherently morons.</p>
