>>11847882IQ scores by race rank the same way regardless of the country in which the testing is conducted.
Blacks actually perform slightly better in the U.S. than in many non-African countries, although I am personally inclined to attribute that to the likely greater white admixture in U.S. blacks.
Additionally, while European countries tend to avoid publishing information about educational studies and exam scores broken down by ethnicity, they still break it down this way when they report dropout rates, and the distribution tracks closely to the U.S. data for all races:
asians the least, followed by whites, then hispanics, and finally blacks. (Occasionally hispanics drop out more frequently.)
Do you think black ghetto culture is explanatory in western Europe too? I think the U.S. has tried everything it can try, and the results have actually widened the difference between the races. I don't rule out that there isn't more than can be done, a reversal of incentivized single motherhood, for example, which has absolutely wrecked their communities.
But I think the evidence and good sense overwhelmingly point to the differences in average scholastic ability being genetic at this point. If one is to have compassion for them as a group, I think it is best to accept that group for who they are and negotiate with that reality instead, rather than trying to force them to be something else.
