Rick, you said this: Rick, you compared those belonging to a religion with races while the high IQ property applies to ashkenazi Jews. Your statement goes into the same pocket as those: "Christians are white" and "Muslims are Saudi Arabians".
I said: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=1991798&postcount=16 The studies I'm refering speak of regional people of certain descent. They often put the religious afflilation within the region (as indentification). I just didn't feel prompted to be so specific as I've often am not being specific with the IQ's on asians (which are wildly different in the region). So no, my statement is nothing of the sort. You're reading too much into it.
They may been different within the region, but when we speak of east asians we speak of a genetical group, ashkenazi jews is also a genetical group, but judaism is just a religion. Therefore, mentioning only jews is irrational. And as you said, jews is not a race, and therefore the group should not be compared with races. Yes it is. But I agree that we rarely feel to be specific. However, in this issue, this makes a lot of difference. Ashkenazi jews and Sephardi jews are on different levels.
Well, it's no huge difference than me saying Asian's have high IQ's...actually within Asia the numbers vary more than most other regions. Details..details details.
Umm... except that Russians are not Asian, they are Caucasian. In fact, the Caucasus mountains run right through Russia! Russian is, in fact, Europe's largest state in terms of both area and population.
We are speaking about east asians as a race. This scientific article refer to east asians and Ashkenazi Jews or Oriental Jews etc.
Many russians that came from caucasus immigrated to sibira for 100-200 years ago. But there's lots of native sibirians that belongs to the same genetic group as mongolians.
And undoubtedly, these racial groups have mixed. Which brings up the question of why people cling to contrived and arbitrary racial groupings any more at all, with all of the genetic mixing going on.
I guess mixing between races is much more common in US than in Russia. And still, there's so much significant difference between the usual races within US. Here's how those different races in US performs in scientific IQ analyses:
Well, he wanted me to be particular. The asians I was refering to was: Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Those south or west of that area usually score much lower in IQ tests...the averages that is. Genetics, culture, circumstance, otherwise? I'm not quite sure what makes this possible. *shrug*
Aren't they a mix of caucasoid and mongoloid? I wonder how long that region has been full of semi-white people.....?
Technically I'm everything but negroid and australoid (but those are terms built on mere separation of genetics). But generally speaking, even the American Indians were a breed of many racial backgrounds. Almost ever race has had contact or has been invade by another. Southern europe has dark skin and hair for a reason. The mongols invaded germany once, and raped women there. And it's really not far-fetched to believe most countries have some level of genetic mixture in them. America's really the first place to fully accept the envitable. But I think it's important to understand why one region of people has better average IQ scores than another...even if it's a fairly simplistic answer and not fully racial bound. I have no fear if there's genetic proof of certain asians being predisposed to having higher mental abilities...knowing is better than fearing.
Funny how those sort of follow the wage perspective. Although eastern asians (specifically Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans) are the highest earners out there...and are said to have the highest IQ's. It's not PC to make any sort of accessment out of that, but it's interesting none-the-less.
Is really true, much more... even girls and womes are doing army there... girls from the age of 16/17 or something like that ,if i am not wrong. Israely womens like to get pregment to stay at home
Men enlist active duty 18-21, women go 18-20 Men are reservist until the age of 45 As for the pregnant remark, that's bullshit.
