What is the relevance of such a test?
Why don't we try and make a comparative mapping of brains of
... Manchester Fans and Liverpool Fans
... Vegetarians against Meat Eaters
... Democrats and Republicans
... Racists and Non-Racists
...
Can't you see all those tests are likelly to give different results?
Do you know why?
BECAUSE WE ARE ALL DIFERENT, THAT'S WHY.
It will be a damn lucky shot if any of these tests does not give even a slight diference!!!
And then?
Are we saying that some are more inteligent than the others?
We don't even fully know how the brain works and you pretend to draw conclusions on the mapping of it? And specifically concerning such a puny thing as the colour of one's skin?
And you don't like to be called RACIST? To bad, for that's exactly what you are!

wow the ignorance you display is amazing. You call me a rascist for even ASKING a scientific question. I never said anyone is better or smarter than anyone else. have we become so PC that it is off limits to even raise the question as to whether race MAY matter??
The relevance of such studies is scientific understanding of how the brain works. You should read my posts, I specifically drew NO CONCLUSIONS. I merely pointed out that race COULD be a factor in some trends and that I was unaware of studies that prove conclusively that it is NOT a factor
All I am saying is that genetic differences that might make a difference in one area (systemically and on average) could make differences in another area. I know that individual variances will be large since individual characterictics would swing wildly around any group mean but perhaps race X is more inclined to certain types of reasoning (logical, spatial, intuitive) while race Y is inclined to others. Is knowledge for the sake of knowledge that dangerous to you ?
I daresay that scientists would be interested in any systemic differences between vegetarians and meateaters. Perhaps diet can impact brain function in a systematic way ?? Some probably think this. Also studies of people in different regions could be interesting, in particular if we include regions of higher pollution and exposure to toxins. The effects of some of these pollutants are barely understood. As for sports fans, there are certain ones that SHOULD be studied to understand how they can maintain the delusion that " this is the year" for their team to win it all after decades of futility
. It is self evident to say we are all different. What a concept !!!! But if I tested boys and girls on height, weight aqnd body fat percentage, we would find that they are all different. However after sufficient testing of a large enough sample we could conclude that boys on average are taller, heavier and have lower body fat. This in no way precludes a girl from being any of the heaviest, tallest or leanest and there would definitely be girls who are taller, heavier and leaner than a majority of boys. The fact of individual variance does not eliminate a trend identifiable on a given variable. (I am stating self-evident stuff back at you since you do not seem to understand that groups can have trends evn though members vary widely)
Why do these questions scare you so much ? I present a balanced outlook that comments that racial variance we see is likely due to socioeconomic factors and outright racial discrimination but that there does not seem to be enough science to disprove the idea that the genetics of race may matter. So I wonder if it could and does matter. Your response is the highly persuasive " You are a racist if you mention race".
If you want to talk at me, stop stating the self evident and provide a link to a series of reputable studies that show that race is irrelevant to how brains function. It is probably the case that race IS irrelevant but as far as I know, the brain is so little understood that scientists just don't know yet. So getting on your pedestal is just politically correct crap supported by nothing.
) than being called a dirty racist
