Do you believe every racial/ethnic/demographic group has the same average intelligence?

If so, why do you believe that would be the case?

Watch an Olympic Games:

The best sprinters are almost all of West African descent.

The best distance runners are almost all of North and East African descent.

The best swimmers are almost all of European descent

Watch an NFL game:

You will find a whole lot more African Americans and Pacific Islanders than you should from their relative populations.

Icelanders make up 0.005% of the world's population, but they have won 21.9% of the World's Strongest Man titles.

If I said "Icelanders are the strongest demographic group on the planet", Would you get angry at me?

Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but they have won 22.5% of the Nobel Prizes, and they make up a large portion of the faculty at elite universities.

If I said "Ashkenazi Jews are the smartest demographic group on the planet." Would you get angry at me?

Measurable differences across racial/ethnic/demographic groups leads to a lot of difficult problems.

Do you base entrance criteria to elite universities solely on class rank and SAT scores, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups?

Do you hire faculty at universities solely on academic achievement, or do you set quotas for different racial/ethnic/demographic groups?

sometimes you can. sometimes you can't. it depends partly on the nature of the accomplishment.
