Was it the correlation between race and intelligence? It is (if you view IQ as a significant indicator) a fact. Whether it is due to cultural differences only, or genetic factors as well, is still an open question. For more reading you can use any PSYCH-200 book. But I would not recommend you doing that right away, because you seem to be too fond of mounting amazingly irrelevant comparisons, doing momentous little analysis of other people's problems, attacking somebody else's grandmother's views, and waiving the banner of righteous wrath and supreme knowledge. It looks like prejudice is your problem more then it is mine (to the point of making you hallucinate, it seems), while the supreme arrogance may be just a trademark. I do not really appreciate straining to keep up with the insolent tone you introduced - probably getting old and lazy. Net.singles contains more stuff that I generated on the matter about 2 weeks ago - please ignore thoroughly. Mellowly yours, Mike Musing
