"Innocent until proven guilty" does not apply in matters of race regarding Negroes. Even the word "Negro" is never said as it too has become a pejorative in spite of being the correct anthropological term for the dark-skinned people of Africa.
While being "White" appears to be the ideal testing shows Orientals to have a greater percentage of "smart" people in their populations. Whites come next then Native Americans and Negroes, but the differences are really small. All races produce "genius" level people with the steps between them between of three and five percent which is really small and the main reason may lie in "cultural bias" in the tests.
I.Q. tests are by their nature "culture sensitive" and the Orientals have had functioning cultures longer than Whites, Blacks and Native Americans. Future analyses of the tests may discount the culture factor and more rely on ability to acquire concepts to eliminate the culture factor. In other words we are all the same!
Unfortunately, intellectual standards in sciences have been diluted to increase the numbers of women and underperforming minorities as much of the difference is due to economics. Rich people produce higher percentages of "smart" kids as their parents stress success in education, can afford tutors, etc.
Entry requirements for graduate education are under revision. In the actions they have taken it is clear the administrations of the bureaus believe minorities are inferior intellectually and need a boost so who is "racist?" We say let talent decide the issue. Race should have absolutely nothing to do with it. Giving any race an advantage only to have them fail on the job does irreparable damage to that race. That is what is happening today at the hands of liberal leaders.
The American Astronomical Society has recommended Ph.D. programs in astronomy eliminate the requirement applicants take the Graduate Record Exam, GRE, in physics, since it has a disparate impact on females and minorities.” This release is "smoking gun" evidence of the dilution of standards which is precisely what must never happen in a free market society!
Mathematical problem-solving is not emphasized for more qualitative group projects and the pace of undergraduate physics education is reduced so no one gets left behind with the result that we are now cranking out Ph.Ds in Physics who cannot do the problems for jobs that don't exist! In other words the least capable, or least serious students now set the pace in physics courses. No wonder our industries have to import foreign trained Ph.D.s!
A typical grant from October 2017 directs $300,000 toward increasing Native American math involvement by incorporating “indigenous knowledge systems” into Navajo Nation Math Circles. While the Aztecs had a more accurate calendar than existed in Europe at the time Spaniards were invading them most of the native American tribes had little more than counting systems for mathematics, had not discovered pi or infinity, for example.
The National Institutes of Health are diversity-obsessed. Medical schools receive NIH training grants to support postdoctoral education for physicians pursuing a research career in such fields as oncology and cardiology. The NIH threatens to yank any training grant if the recipient does not have sufficient “underrepresented minorities, URMs.”
Medical school administrators now urge admissions committees to overlook the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores of black and Hispanic student applicants to employ an “holistic review” in order to have a diverse class. The result reduces the quality of students, graduates and practitioners.
Schools now accept "diversity" applicants with credentials well below those of previous students by dropping the GRE requirement because it makes obvious that in STEM fields women and minorities are not performing up to long-standing academic standards.
