btw, I hope you realise that there are children in africa learning A Level stuff at the age of 10/11. that is all.

you can talk about IQ and statistics and crap like that but people are forgetting that IQ/intelligence is pretty ambiguous. I mean, what exactly is intelligence? have you asked yourselves that question?

anyways, yeah, asians are known to be the "smartest" race. however, I don't think this has anything to do with IQ. I have quite a few asian friends and all of them come from backgrounds that focus on success and good education. their parents push them to do well, in a way, they /have/ to be smart; to prove themselves to their parents, to their country and their society

I know that with most black people, that isn't really the case. however, I am black- Nigerian- and my parents push me to do my best in all I do. I /want/ to do well, I /want/ to be successful and I /can/, regardless of the colour of my skin. why should I be suppressed and why should my potential be limited by society's views?

my cousins (yes, well done, they are black) managed to achieve one of the highest GCSE results in the United Kingdom and now I have that pressure on me to do well. and I appreciate it.

what am I trying to say? intelligence and race have little correlation. it all depends on the individual. I go to a predominantly white school but some of the white people in my class are lazy as hell and can't be bothered to work to the best of their ability.

you all should be pretty ashamed, arguing over this. I am 15 and frankly I am disgusted by some of the comments on this debate. instead of arguing over intelligence, go educate yourselves further, it'll do you good
