First of all, IQ tests aren’t known to be reliable in measuring intrinsic or natural intelligence. In Japan, there is a traditional ‘caste’ of people called the Burakumin, who are like India’s ‘Untouchables.’ Though legal discrimination against them no longer takes place, they live in ghettos and their crime rates and other social problems are far and beyond those of other Japanese. Very little has been done to bring about equality for the Burakumin, despite lip service from the Japanese government. The average IQ of a Burakumin is 85, and the average IQ of a non-Burakumin Japanese is 102. The thing is, Burakumin are just as ‘ethnically’ Japanese as anyone else. They are physically no different. Now, within our own society, whites rank above African Americans. However, when you examine more closely, factors such as social isolation and poverty come into play. ‘Race’ is a superficial and often spurious explanation. Also, 100 years ago, American soldiers entering WWI tested as ‘Morons’ across the board. This was back in the days when most people dropped out of the 8th grade. ‘Moron’ was the technical term for an IQ of around Forrest Gump level. Also, immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were subjected to IQ testing; however, a guy who speaks nothing more than Yiddish who lived in Lower Valkynvania his entire life as a peasant isn’t going to know what two guys on a tennis court are supposed to be doing. Ask him how to butcher a pig, on the other hand, and he could have described it in detail.
