I'm saying that if you take a white child and raise him in a ghetto then that child's probability of scoring poorly on an IQ test goes up.

The IQ test also has a significant Western bias and asks socioeconomic questions like:

Running is to a marathon, what sailing is to a ______.

And reading questions about hors d'oeuvres.

There's no way to reason through these type of questions. They have nothing to do with intelligence.

They are income/status indicators that you can only correctly answer if you've been culturally exposed.

The answer is Regatta.
