Master race craneum question?

Question

According to evil Adolf, the caucasians are the so-called master race. it has been proven that their craneum, hence the brain too, is bigger than, say, the average latino. Making the caucasian smarter. Im Latinamerican but ive noticed that im a lot smarter than some caucasians ive met. is this true? or are we all as smart or depends on genes rather than race? tho genes ARE race lol

Answer 1

Hi, we come to the nature nurture issue with this question...what do I think....i think the Anglos got it wrong about the land bridge and my people...dominant society gets to write the books and make the assumptions until they are proven wrong by the next up and coming dominantors then we have what they say on record as some sort of all final truth

Answer 2

Considering he himself was caucasian he would need to have been really dumb to have announced any other 'fact' really.  There are people at both ends of the spectrum in all races, it's just a I suppose some races are privvy to a better education system than others and therefore the chance to share their genius with the world.

Answer 3

With that hypothesis we'd have to conclude the "Master Race" went extinct when the last Neandertal died.  Strangely the human brain is slightly smaller, compared to body size, than it was 50,000 yrs ago.  Intelligence has far too many variables to quantify it as of yet.  In the early 20th Century an ethno-centric attitude among the Anglo Saxon science community led them to conclude the British Civilization was dominate because of a superior brain.  

While some cultures do produce more quality members in certain fields, it is most likely due to culture & environment that they excel in those fields.

I personally believe this is a question of DNA & enviroment. I can just hear all the screaming now. After all, we can't forget that as a Native American, I am an "ignorant, heathen savage". I would beg to differ but consider myself above begging. A new theory regarding the earthworks found in North America is contending that they were made by Caucasians. And this "theory" is actually based, in part, on the idea that the American aboriginines were not intellectually capable of such things as per the mathematics, etc., involved in such an undertaking. All of this is ludicrous, of course. But it does prove that white men don't know everything after all. There's a reason we ALL think Adolph is evil.

Answer 5

We are all just monkeys on this bus. There is no difference in the intelligence potential of any race. Up bringing, nutrition, education, society pressures, do much to shape how "intelligent" a person is.

Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here!!

Answer 6

everybody has the same potental when born as long as theyre born with properly developed brains. i think as far as thinking they are better than other races and trying to take over is just  something that every race will have some day done. if you look at cases like this throughout human history there has accually been alot of races/nationalities/sects claiming this at one point or another through time. like first it was the egyptains then later on it was the jews, then the babolonyions, then the romans,  then it spread up into asia with the mongoilians, yadda yadda yadda and so on and so on. until it came to the british wich turned into the white american wich brought forth the african american  parties of the post slave days fighting for equal rights (wich was a good thing). but now "black culture" is on the rise and with the latino american population steadily growing. i think in the future the "white american" (the 'civilized' man) rule will die out and lead way to latinos and blacks running a magority of things and the whites will be in the minority wich will eventually lead to black or latino in power with fascism on the mind and then it will be there turn in time to do something like that. by the time the world ends i think everybody will end up taking there turn. this is why i say make interracial babies and eventually everyone will be so mixed they wont have anyone to fight with about race.

Answer 7

Yeah, that theory of Caucasians being smarter or superior or something is really stupid. Just take a listen at Miss South Carolina, "I personally believe, that US Americans..." Blech! I think all people have the potential to be equally intelligent, but many are simply more gifted at understanding certain subjects. Those who appear "dumb" simply either have not found their gift or make no effort to use their gift. Don't let anyone put you down man, I live in San Diego, and I can tell you from a lot of the friends I have, Latinos are smart!

Answer 8

The theory that the size of the cranium was a sure indication of intelligence has been thoroughly discredited. The whole field of studying intelligence has gone through several major changes in the past 50 years, perhaps the biggest one being the idea that there are several different types of intelligence, such as logic, recognizing patterns, speech, sports, music, and emotional intelligence. Just because someone can do complex mathematics doesn't mean that she's more intelligent than the person who can write symphonies. And Latins were civilized long before Germans were (as were the Celts). The master race theory is complete bullsh*t.
