I have updated my flyer on race and intelligence. The new and improved Version 2 is available in PDF format here and as a JPEG image below (click for the full-size image).
Again, I encourage you to share this flyer with anyone, anywhere. Give it to your friends. Give it to your enemies. Give it to your college professor. Go crazy. And use this information to utterly destroy your debate opponents.
Let me know if you find any mistakes, or if you would prefer a version with a less outrageous title.
On the second column, under “The gap is mostly genetic,” you wrote “Race are genetically distinct.” It should be “Races are genetically distinct.”
the fobby engrish statement makes you sound more credible, don’t listen to jewamongyou.
FUDGE
thank you JAY, fixed
sofia: hush, you
The Minnesota study was a longitudinal one, and the follow-up study published in 1992 is the most pertinent here, not the original 1976 report.

“Some debate has broken out.”
Kiwiguy could you make a list of any fallacies or misnomers that we might have missed. After we — meaning unamused — need to get to work on that information sheet. Perhaps we could even create a blog page dedicated to debunking all the fallacious arguments and misnomers. I fail to see why this is not being or has not been done. Blumestein has a fairly good gasp of the information. But for everyone one of him there are 100s who don’t. Who are persuaded by arguments that could easily be debunked if the material was readily available. For example, “there was not enough time for differences to evolve.” This is easy to reply to if one has a few cites on hand. Ditto the inane subspecies debates. All of us have expended quite a bit of time digging through the lit — this information should be collected and organized and made available in a readily accessible fashion.
People believe in racial egalitarianism because hard core egalitarians make clever arguments and because counters are not readily available; they do not believe because they are being “stupid” or “politically incorrect.”

***Blumestein has a fairly good gasp of the information.***
That’s me :-) I would love to venture on to one of those discussion forums and find others already making those points.

I think your site is excellent in this respect – particularly in terms of providing access to the pdf’s.
***could you make a list of any fallacies or misnomers that we might have missed.***
I’ll have a look at your list.
[…] need to be taken. Are angryblackman and his horde just mad because they don’t want this or this or this to be proven […]
Is there a list of references to go with those citations?
[They’re all listed in the original post.]
Here was my data source for the SES x Race SAT gap graph:
The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education; Winter 2008/2009; 62; Ethnic NewsWatch (ENW), pg. 10

The numbers don’t fit with the ETS data but it’s a nice source to cite.
