There is a lot of wasted genius out there. Some of the most intelligent people Ive ever known didnt have college degrees. And on the other hand, some of the biggest morons Ive ever known had degrees. Intelligence always seems to be measured by pieces of paper. The level of formal education is always lower based on economic status. Unfortunately (especially in America), economic status and race go hand in hand.
They are still looking at this. You "race" has everything to do with your phenotype (outward appearance that's expressed via DNA) and nothing to do with your intelligence. Basic genetics right there.This topic is a fail.

Um, yes, real life observations.He is a teacher, who sees certain races of students failing in the same ways time and time again, and says so. Hence a real life observation.This does not necessarily mean that because theyre black theyre stupid, but it does mean that there is a connection (indirect or direct) between race among other things (in this situation at this particular school) and academic performance. He shouldnt be vilified for pointing it out.

He shouldnt be vilified for pointing it out.Its important to see the connection between race and academic performance because it shows you where there are societal issues that need to be fixed. But academic performance and intelligence are two very different things.
