Controversial studies suggest that orientals are the smartest race?

Question

followed closely by Caucasians then African .Why do people argue that it is racist to simply to state accurate statistics from a scientific study?

Answer 1

Name the study and provide the academic credentials of those who conducted it, and reveal the source of funding.

Then we'll talk.

Answer 2

It concerns me too that people deny 'unpleasant' but honest facts for fear of being called racist. The study is not controversial, it is universally accepted that most developed Asian countries have higher average I.Q. than any other races. Sadly, many bona fide scientific studies are 'buried' or discredited when they show that any race is inferior in any way to another. It's o.k. to make a movie called " white men can't jump " try making one called " white men make the best scientists and engineers " !!

Answer 3

Problems with that kind of study is, they are not really comparing racial differences, but they are comparing differences in the environment they grew up.  Also, definition of "smart" may also be a problem.  Are they mesuring accademic success or creativity?  

It is a statistic, but not a scientific study.  To make it truly an scientific study, one must create an environment where everything is equal except for race, and study the difference.  (which is impossible to do)

Answer 4

It's not racist, I would say it is true in my experience.

Answer 5

It might have some truth to it.. I want to point out only some.

It is probably partially biased. Since you can view a human as to being an animal you can do a similar thing with dogs like pit bulls are more aggresive, and the Labrador is the calmest, etc, etc. You can look at it from a personal view or a detached one.

Personally I think these studies are not really all too accurate since you can not take a group of races, genders, or ages and consider them as just one being. It does not work that way.
