" Tests show an IQ deficit, not just for Africans relative to Europeans, but for Europeans relative to Asians.
Among white Americans, the average IQ, as of a decade or so ago, was 103.
Among Asian-Americans, it was 106.
Among Jewish Americans, it was 113.
Among Latino Americans, it was 89.
Among African-Americans, it was 85.
Around the world, studies find the same general pattern:
whites 100
East Asians 106
sub-Sarahan Africans 70
Hong Kong 113
Japan 110
Britain 100 ( must be the alcohol)
White populations in Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States score closer to one another than to the worldwide black average.
