Yes- I know you've met some blacks you consider to be almost as good as a real white person, but I'm curious as to why you persistantly try to apply manifestly flawed data to uphold a racist agenda while claiming you aren't a racist.

What was it that turned you into a racist, Cal?
Depends what you mean by "racist". As I've explained before, I don't think the word applies to me as it's context in common usage is different to the dictionary definition.

I guess the thing that changed my mind on these sorts of things was the realization that the idea of inherent equality between racial groups is ridiculous. As for data, the generally accepted view of race and intelligence among scientists is quite different from the radical egalitarianism espoused by popular culture.

I'm pretty happy with life actually. My wife and I recently bought a house and are expecting a baby boy soon. I don't feel cheated out of anything...I just get infuriated by anti-white bias. The USA as a nation is obsessed with race, so that's probably part of the reason I've become so interested in the topic.

Basic human decency, Cal.
It's a question of science, not ethics. On the ethical question I agree that nobody should be mistreated because of their race, but that is entirely separate from the question of whether or not there are real differences between races.
In fact, not recognising that different groups may perform differently on average results in discrimination against successful groups in an attempt to "even the playing field". Different outcomes for different groups are viewed as concrete evidence of discrimination, standards are lowered, and merit is replaced with a racial headcount.
How would a world in which racial differences are significant look any different from the world we live in?

Let's say my view became generally accepted in a hypothetical world in which racial differences were insignificant. Who would be harmed? If everyone recognised that individuals differed, and wouldn't necessarily conform to the average, they would still be accepted as individuals. Standards would be applied equally, and eventually you would see equal performance in ever racial group. The hypothetical world would then realize that there were no significant differences between its races.

Give enough education, stable environments and money to people and they're all pretty much the same.
Although Asher or Kuciwalker for example are definitely more dumb than a boy who grew up on the streets. So maybe that's not definite.
