The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is considering whether or not to launch a criminal investigation into comments made by Professor Emeritus Tatu Vanhanen in an interview with Kuukausiliite, a monthly magazine supplement of Helsingin Sanomat.
In the interview Professor Vanhanen, a former Professor of Political Science at the University of Tampere, said that evolution has made Europeans and North Americans more intelligent than Africans. Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said on Wednesday that he regrets the controversy sparked by Tatu Vanhanen, who is his father.

I was reading on a mailing list I'm on that the average IQ of sub-saharan Africans is roughly 72-75, while the average IQ of Europeans is 98-100. There were many factors involved, including health/environment, that led to those numbers.

But I agree, it's ridiculous to be persecuted for scientific inquiry.

As usual, free speech only applies to politically correct speech.

Or do you have evidence that you want to share with us?

Just where do you consider science a consideration in this crowd, 5stringer?

If you can't read I think it plausible that you can't think. On the other hand, the smartest man I ever knew was my Grandfather who couldn't read or write his own name.

Why is that a straw man?

The prof is correct. Nearly all scientific breakthroughs are attributed to old white guys.

I'll bite. Which "prof" are you referring to?

Old white guys told us that slavery was moral and necessary. Old white guys told us that women could not vote at all and that the Negroes were only 3/5ths of an individual vote and old white guys now tell us that WAR is as American as apple pie.

Sorry, gm, I don't agree.

See the OP about the prof we are discussing.

Actually slavery was invented by the Egyptians, and American slaves were counted like that as a compromise to get The South on board for a higher purpose: kicking English butt. And as for the women issue, the brown-skinned arabs defile their women as a matter of course.

Neither was the guy who invented the toilet, or that peanut guy.

I didn't say all I said nearly all.

BTW Aristotle was greek, like OCA, right?

Young Tom Crapper? Wasn't he a Brit? I do know the Normans had shit chutes, they put them in the Tower of London when they built it in 1078, but I thought Tom Crapper was Brit, oh well, not that it matters. Oh wait, you could have been thinking of the other bloke who invented the dunny, the Burmese bloke U Bend? :laugh2:

Yep, Aristotle was Greek. Top bloke. But i bet he wasn't into rebtika (different Greek).

Greeks consider themselves to be white. Ask OCA.

Probably.

I was wrong about Crapper - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper

But it appears a Brit did invent the flushing dunny - http://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/Renaissance/University/Inventions/FlushToilet.html

It appears then that my post 6 was correct. I amaze myself by being correct so often. :poke:
