geographical location gave that rise and one of the reasons I disbelieve the genetic theory of racism is because I've seen it disproved before my own eyes:

If you stick a black infant, or any infant of any ethnicity, and place them into the care of a middle class white family they "act white"

Honestly couldn't tell what their skin color was with a blindfold on.

Humans adapt to the culture and mannerisms of those that raise them.

If you stuck a bunch of white infants in Africa, let them grow up, and then remove the original Africans, you're gonna get a bunch of white people living how they were raised. add in a few hundred years of sunburns and through evolution you'll see skin color start to darken.

simple social behaviour has fuck all to do with intelligence. Do they go on to invent things? where is your data, your source, that shows identical achievement and outcomes?

unsubstantiated and baseless statement, made simply to try and pretend your argument is real. Again, no source, just an opinion.

data

I could ask you the same thing. lol

Your numbers refuse to account for educational development, such as schools, of an area because your genetic-narrative falls apart if you do.

unsubstantiated and baseless statement,

lol whatever helps you sleep at night.

in other words: you got nothing.

you are the one trying to explain away clear evidence of genetics in action, prove it

hypothetical theories are better than using unrelated facts.

edit. To clarify what I mean: You don't either. Geography and the educational institutions in place (or lack thereof) matter and ignoring this means your data is useless in this current discussion. At least I'm using some of the current theories on the topic.
