    More black people than white people in this scenario would be likely to not identify it. Their culture plays at least as much a part as their IQ. Even a dumb white person might get this question right. Less likely so a black person even one that might be more intelligent.

    Of course you are. It's in your culture.

    As you have proven, whether they do or not does not depend on intelligence. Which is what IQ tests are supposed to measure. They are not intended to measure how familiar people are with eating utensils.

    This is the second time you are attempting to call me stupid again..... What is really rather a stupid thing to do is to go around calling other people white supremacist and acting like black people can't associate a coffee cup with a saucer.

    The extremely soft bigotry of extremely low expectations.

    Next maybe you will tell us they can't identify other sorts of common tableware.

    Did MIT say they were racist, like another poster here admitted?

    You are having alot of trouble comprehending this topic.

    Blacks suck at standardized tests Ergo, the tests are based .

    That's the gist, right?

    You know a racist when they call themselves one.

    Using the SAT is not racist, a racist justifying his racism with cherry picked data points is just that.

    Sorry, but those charts are all laughable, irrelevant trash that do not in any way refute the "trope."
    And that is just a handful of personal anecdotes.

    Seriously, did you expect anyone to take your silly tripe seriously?

    So noticing blacks suck at standardized tests is racist.

    Skin color is a misnomer on those data trends.
    Its not anymore relevant then eye color.

    The name on that data point is a misnomer, you noticed a trend, but skin color isnt the relevant variable.

    Because you may have a fallacious bias.
    Its ok it happens with people who do poorly on such tests.

    Well you'll need to do a better job proving that then your saucer/cup example. That was simply ridiculous.

    What makes you think it is fallacious. Seems like a well founded bias

    Because the sample data beyond skin color isnt available.
    Once again may as well use eye color, make a trend chart, then make some arbitrary claim.

    But it is not an arbitrary claim. Blacks really do suck at IQ tests.

    People really do suck at IQ tests, fixed it for ya.
    The vast majority score below 115. Americans especially.

    Tell me a relevant difference between 90 and 100.
