By the way, I'm going to get into trouble for saying this but in most of the Western world people with black hair have lower IQs on average than those with brown or blonde hair.


That may or may not be true but i would like to see evidence either way.


Quote
Because black people have black hair and are subject to racial prejudice. They end up with worse incomes and, therefore poorer education. That, in turn leads to lower IQs.
I have never heard of a case of a black person not getting a job in the UK due to his or her skin colour but have heard of white people not getting jobs through a practice called positive discrimination.

Here in the UK all children also have the same access to education.. In the UK unless your talking about the rich elite who send their children to private schools money makes no real difference to the state school a child gets into..

Also i'm mixed race and have seen just as much racism directed from white people onto black people as i have from black people onto white people.

One other thing are you talking about the IQ that someone is born with or the IQ that someone builds through life experiences.

Hmm. In our school, they make jokes on blondes and gingers. [;)] Although it's not really bullying, because we're good friends with em, but we do tease them a bit. [:P] Like if the blonde girl says something really random or stupid, then.. Heehee.

And theres this boy who is completely ginger, and he is called James. But we call him Jinger or Jingy [;)]

Anyway, in that case, the blonde girl is smarter than the ginger boy [;)]
