    Yes. What sort of evidence would that be?

    Evidence that proves that on average black people are less intelligent than white people.
    Evidence that proves skin colour is a factor in intelligence.

    Is that question supposed to be your evidence?

    No. I am questioning your logic.

    I will provide evidence when you tell me what you consider acceptable evidence.

    Facts:

    Whites score higher on IQ tests.
    Whites score higher on aptitude tests.
    Whites get higher grades in elementary school, high school, college.

    there are many more such facts.

    The same can be said for Asians vs whites — does having white skin make one less intelligent?

    Do you realise that none of those tests are anything to do with your very own definition of ‘intelligence’ you mentioned above don’t you?

    Not at all. They seem to have very much to do with my definition of intelligence. You can't do well on such tests without being able to acquire and use knowledge.

    What tests do you prefer?

    When Americans use the term ‘Asians’ do they mean everybody from Lebanon east to Japan?
    Do Americans have a word for the populations on the Indian sub continent for example?

    Which tests are those? And how well do Blacks do on them? Why do Asians do exceptionally well on them?

    The usage of the term "Asian" by the United States Census Bureau excludes people with ethnic origins in certain parts of Asia, including West Asia who are now categorized as Middle Eastern Americans; and those from Afghanistan who may identify as being either Central Asian Americans, Middle Eastern Americans or South Asian American.

    The "Asian" census category includes people who indicate their race(s) on the census as "Asian" or reported entries such as "Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Pakistani, Malaysian, and Other Asian".

    Most Americans would likely call them Indian if they don’t know their country of origin.
