Re: Who Cares About Differences Between Races?

I think it would do away with affirmative action, because if it is finally proven that black people are less intelligent then it should then be admitted that they have no place attending the finest institutions of higher education, and then by extension holding high ranking positions in government or the private sector.

Huh? If averages were different, many individual blacks would still be more intelligent (whatever metic) than many individual whites. Many would still attend top schools and hold top positions on merit. Regardless, AA would still be around anyway. You'd have to make the argument that admissions/employment statistics are nearly 100% attributable to lower intelligence and other factors unrelated to slavery/racism. That's an impossible argument to prove. Supporters of AA from a "right-past-wrongs" perspective still have their motivation. And the "diversity" crowd wouldn't be affected one inch.
