Well there was a time when it was widely accepted that a substanial IQ gap between whites and blacks explained different levels of economic and educational achievement. However, these days it's considered "racist" to insist the races differ in IQ.
Since it's now been accepted that all races are equally intelligent, any disparity that exists between them must reflect racism or unwillingness to help certain people. Many people insist affirmative action is a good way to cancel out this racism. |
