Crime Rates Predicted by Race? Huh.

I responded to this series of comments on Quora:

Wow. You meant the crime rates thing? How do you get that? Genetics, place of ethnic origin, and skin-color — because race is not a thing — cannot predict crime rates. No proof anywhere for that. “If” IQs are different, what explains ten or 15 points, and what IS ten or 15 points?

I get that “men” “may” be a titch better at tidily dinks and “women” “may” be a titch better at Super Ave Maria Sisters, and on this or that, but anything over 3 points on any SPECIFIC thing must have many sources and directions of research and evidence, IQ tests are not enough. Especially if they are flawed in anyway on anything, prejudiced by the authors, often Whitey or influenced-paid for by Whitey.

Phillipe Rushton (and Jensen) and his shit has been stomped on for its bad sampling, skimming research, etc. So I wouldn’t take him for the expert on this. Seems like some Whiteys need to step back to consider the logic of their conclusions, and the bias feeding their intellectual dishonesty.

This research, the tests themselves, and their conclusions are slippery. For the 300 years of “research” on smartness of “races” — should be skin-color, if you call it anything, or have any reason to make these difference anything at all — has been done by avowed racist White supremacists up…
