>Despite the forbidding air that envelops the topic, ethnic differences in cognitive ability are neither surprising nor in doubt. Large human populations differ in many ways, both cultural and biological. It is not surprising that they might differ at least slightly in their cognitive characteristics. That they do is confirmed by the data on ethnic differences in cognitive ability from around the world. One message of this chapter is that such differences are real and have consequences. Another is that the facts are not as alarming as many people seem to fear.
> East Asians (e.g., Chinese, Japanese), whether in America or in Asia, typically earn higher scores on intelligence and achievement tests than white Americans. The precise size of their advantage is unclear; estimates range from just a few to ten points. A more certain difference between the races is that East Asians have higher nonverbal intelligence than whites while being equal, or perhaps slightly lower, in verbal intelligence.
> The difference in test scores between African-Americans and EuropeanAmericans as measured in dozens of reputable studies has converged on approximately a one standard deviation difference for several decades. Translated into centiles, this means that the average white person tests higher than about 84 percent of the population of blacks and that the average black person tests higher than about 16 percent of the population of whites.
> The average black and white differ in IQ at every level of socioeconomic status (SES), but they differ more at high levels of SES than at low levels. Attempts to explain the difference in terms of test bias have failed. The tests have approximately equal predictive force for whites and blacks.
> In the past few decades, the gap between blacks and whites narrowed by perhaps three IQ points. The narrowing appears to have been mainly caused by a shrinking number of very low scores in the black population rather than an increasing number of high scores. Improvements in the economic circumstances of blacks, in the quality of the schools they attend, in better public health, and perhaps also diminishing racism may be narrowing the gap.
> The debate about whether and how much genes and environment have to do with ethnic differences remains unresolved. The universality of the contrast in nonverbal and verbal skills between East Asians and European whites suggests, without quite proving, genetic roots. Another line of evidence pointing toward a genetic factor in cognitive ethnic differences is that blacks and whites differ most on the tests that are the best measures of g, or general intelligence. On the other hand, the scores on even highly g-loaded tests can be influenced to some extent by changing environmental factors over the course of a decade or less. Beyond that, some social scientists have challenged the premise that intelligence tests have the same meaning for people who live in different cultural settings or whose forebears had very different histories.
> Nothing seems more fearsome to many commentators than the possibility that ethnic and race differences have any genetic component at all. This belief is a fundamental error. Even if the differences between races were entirely genetic (which they surely are not), it should make no practical difference in how individuals deal with each other. The real danger is that the elite wisdom on ethnic differences—that such differences cannot exist—will shift to opposite and equally unjustified extremes. Open and informed discussion is the one certain way to protect society from the dangers of one extreme view or the other.

>Reminder that latam is the main culprit of console wars. I suspect the same here, since there are so many /v/tards hanging around.

>Carl had many fans here and he wasn't the only one

>>Hey look. It's a joke. Haha! Did you catch it?! Fuck you for not understanding the joke! He's great!
>Faggotry behavior

>Um solo Minecraft sucks, and that's what EN kinda was prior to the connection

>The point of a vtuber is that it's an anime image that moves and shows emotion, faceless chuubas may as well be PNGs.

>>the one tainwanese girl that was in
>it's funny that people continue to convince themselves that she's Taiwanese when she has only ever typed in simplified Chinese, even on her roommate account years before ever joining Hololive. hell, why would someone from Taiwan be on Weibo instead of the social media sites that are significantly more popular in Taiwan like Plurk that AREN'T under CCP control?

>she died, lost her dinos and then decided "I'm going to make my own Ark servers - one for vtubers on Twitch and another for Chinese vtubers!". the later died out within a week, the former continued on without her for a couple months before it was shut down.

>>I-It was great please like it!
>No. It was trash and you need to get holoEN's dick out of your mouth.

>Tell me how we are wrong. Oh yeah, you can't.

>good lord you're all retarded.
>rrats would have at a field day if they didn't mention pomu going on hiatus.
>when they used the word "details" they were referring to the fact that pomu was getting surgery.
>as in, Haruka was trying to let Pomu say the word "surgery" because she didn't know if that part was public knowledge.
>pomu being a bit of a pomu pushed Haruka to just say it herself.
>but it just so happens that pomu has already talked about her upcoming surgery in her own streams multiple times, so haruka didn't let out any personal information but she wasn't sure so she was trying to avoid it, she was trying to let pomu speak for herself and let pomu decide what needed to be said but pomu got confused and said nothing.
>it doesn't matter what they do, you rrats are going to take it and spin something out of it regardless.
>I wish you would actually kill yourselves.

>Anyone feel like these threads would be vastly more enjoyable if males weren't included? So much time and effort wasted on vtubers 95% of this board doesn't even watch. They might as well be face streamers for as much relevance as they have to anyone here, other than as low effort bait.

>I've been saying this from their early days. They're just a mediocre vtubers.
>I bet the managements in Cover are shaking their head trying to find the reason why HoloEN were such a success. But they won't find it because it was pure luck, not because of the talents' personality or something.
>Give it time, I've noticed that their numbers keeps decreasing because more and more newfans are exploring the other branches and agencies and even indies and find out the real gems that they've been looking for.

>Which of these is more mentally unhealthy and in what order:
>>Worshiping a real person (e.g. Japanese idol)
>>Worshiping a fictional character that you know is not real (e.g. anime girl)
>>Worshiping a fictional character that you believe is real (e.g. god)
>>Worshiping a real-fictional hybrid (e.g. vtuber)

>it's been 10 years and you're still mad that she doesn't pander to your lolicon ways
>we should make threads making fun of you instead

>Not even a nijinig but cumbuds are so insufferable. Reminds me of dealing with my 10 y/o nephews. Wait...

>>Miki couldn't even do that in either of her iterations
>So that's why she joined Nijisanji.....

>Well how else is she going to sell her shitty bikini photos at the vendors room? She is still insistent that she will be a idol irl.

>2 hr final + Takanashi Kiara = barely more viewers than having Shion cohost.
>What went wrong?

>You type like an ESL ledditor.

>>fucking of age chicks is not degenerate.
>If I see a 36 year old hitting on an 18 year old, I can't help but think the only reason that degenerate isn't going younger is because it isn't legal. When you become an old man and still think teens are in your strike zone you probably deserve to be put against the wall like all the other degens. Old people should be settling down and having children, not trying to desperately relive the only time in their lives they felt alive. So yes for certain age demographics, piping down the lowest AoC is behavior that should probably get your hard drive examined for CP.

>Explain why she's "the only good vshitshow" without bringing up the fact she's """deathly ill""".

>Figured you were a bigot but it doesnt matter no matter how much you screech LGBT people are normal and are accepted
