Albert Himoe cites Philip Rushton as the only support for his claim that
"it is by now well established that blacks have on average lower intelligence
than whites." Rushton's "research" (including his obsession about an
inverse relationship between intelligence and penis size across races) is
generally viewed as completely discredited. Tenure and academic freedom
mean that Rushton, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario,
can continue to present his views, but there is no reason for anyone
else to take them seriously, let alone treat them as "facts" that are
"well established."
Huge thanks to Robert Dimand for the above. Albert Himoe wrote:"East Asians, Chinese,
Japanese, Koreans have on the average higher IQs than whites." By the way, the three
ethnicities listed above are all East Asians. I suppose that was for emphasis. Anyway, as
a person of South Asian descent, I am relieved that I don't have to labor under that
burden. And I wonder how women fare in Rushton's research. I am sure I don't want to
know.
