There's something wrong with this.
China Industrialized and their IQ's eclipsed White Countries? But when America was already industrialized, it didn't bring Black IQ up to the same levels either?
But then you also turn around and say it's poverty? Does China not also have poverty too?
Also, do you ignore the mass slaughter of Chinese during the Communist takeover in the 1950/60s? Do you not count this as oppression?
China has several rigid systems including school and ironically their child limitation rules they had went a long way to helping pre-natal care in their country.
I'm not ignoring any of this. All I can show you is that the gap persists. Asian countries are unique in that their rate of IQ growth was faster than average, whether that is cultural or environment or genetic is unknown. Even when looking at the chart I showed above, African IQ gains are at and even above the rate of European IQ gains over time. I.E. Their slope increase is steeper and faster. Can't answer you why. No one can at this point because the concept is too nebulous. We don't know why IQ changes at such a rapid rate over a short period of time even between generations. That's why scientists can't say race is a primary factor because presently they can't even say heretity between parent and child is a primary factor let alone distant cousin.
But either way, I'm going to bed now. Hopefully there's lots to ponder over for everyone.
