Questions about race and intelligence should be asked as it's important to the future of the country. If people of East Asian ancestry really do have a higher intelligence than people of Anglo-Saxon (ancient Germanic) descent then that's an important factor when we look at the Anglosphere's geopolitical competition with China, and therefore of the future of democracy in the world.  It makes more sense that it's their higher intelligence rather than the discredited theory of communism that has been responsible for China's incredible rise compared with the Anglosphere in the last few decades. The American team for the International Math Olympiad is comprised entirely of Americans of East Asian descent for example. The fear that the Anglo-Saxon elite have of upsetting their masses with a shot of much needed race reality means that this will never be discussed and thus one day we'll all wake up using the Yen as currency and speaking Mandarin as our first language.,(reply>), ​ @Johnny Kush  erm, why the obsession with black people? I didn't mention them. They are only 13% of the population and have always been around 10% since the census began. It's white people falling behind Asians in the US and worldwide which is the main problem facing the West and democracy whether "White people admit that Asians are smarter" or not. Also," in the UK it's white working class males that have the worst educational outcomes and that's part of the Anglosphere. East Asians are at the top of course. And the worrying thing is it's not just the working class: <br><br>"Tonbridge and Malling", the constituency that encompasses the town, is among the safest Conservative seats in the country and ranks above average judging by national indicators for employment, health and well-being. This is not an obvious place to find students struggling. Yet at the Malling School last year only 30 per cent of pupils got five good GCSEs including English and maths. Of the third of students eligible for free school meals (FSMs) – the national average is one in five – just 17 per cent get five good GCSEs, falling to 15 per cent for boys. Here," almost all of these pupils are white."<br>Source: Google <b>lost-boys-how-white-working-class-got-left-behind</b><br><br>This need to feel superior to black people and the buzz that a certain section of the white community gets out of it (usually those on the lower ned of the IQ scale ironically) needs to stop and we have to start facing up to life in an Asian dominated world and the lower expectations that whites will need adhere to unfortunately. It might turn out that the (White) American Dream was just that", a dream.,(reply>), The rise of China over the past 40 years is due to two primary drivers. The use of China as a cheap, slave-wage offshore manufacturer which built a manufacturing base and intellectual property theft by China.<br><br>If not for stealing Western technology, China is still a third world backwater.,(reply>), Please. White people admit that Asians are smarter. Its the blacks that always need coddling. Nobody can admit theyre not as smart as whites or Asians.<br><br>When the assumption is that there are no differences, it makes people think that there is a way to "close the education gap". It makes closing the gap seem like a realistic goal because youre ascribing its existence to socioeconomic factors only. When you admit that there is an inherent difference, it means the gap will never be closed, even if it could be narrowed somewhat. We are still deluding ourselves as a society.
