What is your honest opinion on racial differences in IQ? From findings in books like the "Bell curve" by Charle's Murray and "Why Race Matters"

by Michael Levin? Do you think that there is any truth and science to it or do you think that it is pseudoscience to push eugenics and a political agenda? If you do believe that the racial differences in IQ are legitimate, what do you believe the reasons for that are? Do you believe that race matters?

During my lifetime it has always been perceived that Southerners (US) are less intelligent than people in other parts of the country. That perception was mainly driven by the fact that the southern culture is very different than that in other parts of the country. We did and still do live a slower and more laid back lifestyle. The fact that our speech is a little slower and perhaps considered less elegant that that in other parts of the country helped lead to the conclusion that we are less intelligent. It has been proven that no region of the country is more or less intelligent than another region.

Most of the perception that blacks are less intelligent than other races has been proven to be related to culture more than anything else.

BTW it is now considered that there is only one race of people on earth. The human race.
