They have far higher degrees of black ancestry than groups like mexicans, but they're simply not "black."<br /><br />Also, if you're to use SAT scores as proxies for IQ, then puerto ricans have one of the lowest average IQ's of any hispanic group.<br /><br />Still doesn't change how hispanics throw a big monkey wrench into the idea of IQ and crime being huge correlates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-77765841902629009572010-04-24T06:01:16.351-07:002010-04-24T06:01:16.351-07:00"Is that really true?"
I don’t know if ..."Is that really true?"<br /><br />I don’t know if it is true. Black babies mature faster than white babies. I don't know if they are effectively more mature by adolescence or even whether this would imply greater strength.<br /><br />The more I think about it the less I like this hypothesis.<br /><br />My guess would be that it does come down to (partly) biologically determined personality factors.<br />I recall reading of studies which show Blacks as having higher self-esteem as well as studies showing such is linked to higher rates of violence. Whether these latter studies controlled for race I don’t know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-3442214541900169222010-04-21T19:38:33.121-07:002010-04-21T19:38:33.121-07:00"Or perhaps, you are more likely to have inju..."Or perhaps, you are more likely to have injured someone if you are physically stronger, and Blacks are physically stronger than others at a young age."<br /><br />Is that really true?
