Ashkenazi Jews comprise 20% of the one million Americans with an IQ over 140, they are sought after by elite corporations and employed in fields that require high analytic reasoning and the ability to solve complex problems at lightning speed. What makes the gifted Ashkenazi Jew unique is that they are under tremendous pressure to become wealthy enough to feel insulated against a sea of anti-Jewish feelings.

I used to be the same way. I constantly lectured people about racism and the plight of the disadvantaged--my friends, my parents, everyone. And I didn't just talk the talk. Like GC, I spent literally hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hours devoted to assisting poor minorities. <BR/><BR/><BR/>When I talk to people whom I haven't talked to in a while, it's embarrassing to have to tell my current views, or at least to inform them that I'm no longer the flaming liberal that I once was. I'm afraid that they'll think I'm psychologically unstable or that I just blow in the wind every which way. Fortunately, I think most of my old friends realize that I'm a sincere person and that it's okay to change your mind.<BR/><BR/>I was dragged to this position kicking and screaming by the evidence. I mean, *no one* is brought up today to be a "racist" in the circles I grew up in, particularly not children of apolitical nonwhite immigrants. All I ever heard from K-12 and the beginning of college was how evil racists were, and I *surely* didn't want to be part of that crowd.<BR/><BR/>Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. When I first began reading about race and IQ, I felt like I was reading Penthouse. Like it was something dirty and disgraceful. There were nights that I literally couldn't sleep. I vaguely feared that I was losing my sanity. It's a tough thing to feel yourself becoming severed from the consensus reality of your community.<BR/><BR/>Now, we think that actually dealing with reality is the best way to make the world a better place.<BR/><BR/>Yes, that's true about GNXP. Despite the occasional (okay, frequent) bluff and bluster (we're only human), we still think that a better world than the one that we find ourselves in is possible, and would like to see that world.The Objectivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416501145750028695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1156642213697455672006-08-26T21:30:00.000-04:002006-08-26T21:30:00.000-04:00O, you might find this analysis of evolution allus...O, you might find <A HREF- HREF="" REL="nofollow" HTTP://WWW.NAKEDGAZE.COM/2006/08/NATURE_VS_NURTU.HTML>this analysis of evolution allusions in recent <I>NY Times</I> pieces</A> interesting.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1151800243937609052006-07-01T20:30:00.000-04:002006-07-01T20:30:00.000-04:00Definitely recommend reading a chapter of Wade (my...Definitely recommend reading a chapter of Wade (my public library had a copy, so I grabbed it), a chapter of Olsen, and a chapter of Reardon this summer. Quite informative and the differences are quite revealing. TM, I think you were too quick to dismiss Olsen based on a quote or two on a website. His book is older than Wade's and not as detailed or well-organized, but seeing how two major science reporters summarize and speculate on recent findings, where they agree and disagree, how they present debates within and across fields shows how in flux things are. Reardon's analysis of that flux is exemplary, despite her focus on earlier debates for most of the book.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1151010225634244932006-06-22T17:03:00.000-04:002006-06-22T17:03:00.000-04:00Any comments on this critique of common fallacies ...Any comments on this critique of <A HREF="http://www.salamander-candy.com/2006/06/how_to_misidentify_genetic_cau.htm" REL="nofollow">common fallacies by geneticists</A>?The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1149520747773944752006-06-05T11:19:00.000-04:002006-06-05T11:19:00.000-04:00Andreasen's earlier essay in The British Journal f...Andreasen's earlier essay in <I>The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science</I> 49.2 (Jun. 1998) 199-225 (accessible through JSTOR; available by request) lays out the case for racial realism with significant caveats:<BR/><BR/>1) human races should be understood as clades or monophyletic groups (ancestor-descendant sequences of breeding populations)<BR/>2) 'race' should be defined as a nested hierarchy of monophyletic groups<BR/>3) races are dynamic, not static<BR/>4) human activity over the pasts everal centuries has been causing race to lose its biological reality<BR/>5) races once existed but they may no longer exist<BR/>6) there is a way of reconciling some forms of racial realism with some forms of social constructivismThe Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1149519479813296252006-06-05T10:57:00.000-04:002006-06-05T10:57:00.000-04:00Lisa Gannett has a very smart essay on the ethical...Lisa Gannett has a very smart essay on the ethical limits of population thinking in <I>Philosophy of Science</I> 68.3 (Sept. 2001) S479-S492 that I have access to through JSTOR and can forward to anyone interested. In it, she substantiates many of the GNXPers claims that population geneticists have not given up on but instead have redefined race. However, she rejects the notion that the new racial science is by definition anti-racist or non-racist.<BR/><BR/>Jenny Reardon has an analysis of the controversy over the Human Genome Diversity Project in <I>Social Studies of Science</I> 31.2 (Jun. 2001) 357-388 (again, available through JSTR and distributable upon request) that's considerably more nuanced than characterizations in this page's comments area suggest. Her account supports my contention that racial realism is a racial project.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Robin Andreasen tries to find middle ground between racial realism based on population genetics and social constructionist accounts of race in <I>Philosophy of Science</I> 67 (Sept. 2000) S653-S666 (also accessible through JSTR and available upon request) by suggesting that social constructionists should limit their critiques to "common-sense" misconceptions of the biological basis of race. In general, Andreasen is closer to supporting the GNXP project than either Reardon or Gannett but couldn't have responded to the former's constructivist arguments or the latter's anti-racist arguments.

What they'd see is that the racial rank order with regards to infant mortality is stable. This then leads us to why this is the case. Here we're left with a two factor problem - environment and genetics and we need to discern how much influence each contributes. During the first parsing they should look at rates of multiple birth across race. <A HREF="http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/003206.html" REL="nofollow">Jared Diamond</A> reported:<BR/><BR/><I>in Asians (average value for 14 populations, <B>3.9 per 1,000 births</B>, including 4 populations transplanted to Hawaii), than in Caucasians (average for 8 populations, <B>7,9 per 1,000 births</B>), All but 2 of the 14 Asian values were less than any of the Caucasian values, The differences in dizygotic twin frequency, and presumably ovulation rate, are in the same direction as the differences in testis size. The frequencies of dizygotic twins are even higher (<B>up to 49 per 1,000 births</B>) among African blacks</I><BR/><BR/>Next up correlate the infant mortality to the IQ of the mother for we know that lower IQ people have worse <A HREF="http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/003236.html" REL="nofollow">health outcomes</A>. <BR/><BR/>At this point they can start looking to environmental factors, but once they tred onto SES they shouldn't ignore IQ, which is a determinant of SES. Take a look at the Infant Mortality difference between Hispanics and Blacks who share a similar SES environment but have different mean population level IQs. After accounting for the above, the residual effect is the area to which they can try to craft some policy response. <BR/><BR/>Of course, there also needs to be a correction for IVF treatment.<BR/><BR/>The problem for the "race doesn't exist" folks is that race is a powerful explanatory factor here, but there's little use in invading their insular little world with this kind of data.TangoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228734445464184781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1148362247114811232006-05-23T01:30:00.000-04:002006-05-23T01:30:00.000-04:00Any deep thoughts on the US's shameful infant mort...Any deep thoughts on the US's <A HREF="http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2006/05/22/regarding-the-uss-high-infant-mortality-rate/" REL="nofollow">shameful infant mortality rate</A> and its <A HREF="http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/431" REL="nofollow">#1 status in worldwide imprisonment rates</A>?The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1148316383746232732006-05-22T12:46:00.000-04:002006-05-22T12:46:00.000-04:00One more request for comments on this study of gen...One more request for comments on this study of <A HREF="http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/08_00/Icelanders.shtml" REL="nofollow">genetic diversity in Iceland</A>.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23061971.post-1148315742832359142006-05-22T12:35:00.000-04:002006-05-22T12:35:00.000-04:00You guys know of John Wakeley's work?
