Probe launched after Durban teacher tells pupils white people 'genetically smarter'

[konfab]

People don't mind hearing it, they just don't want to hear it as an excuse to something. People here loathe BEE, yet they apply the same kind of thinking towards their own arguments -instead of judging people on an individual basis, they judge the entire group

This is where I would really like to hear what the teacher said.

For example on average, white people have a higher IQ than black people.
But if you look at the population distributions, there is a large amount of overlap.

Therefore whilst the difference might be on the population level, it is statistically false to make a prediction of an individual's IQ from their race.

This graph neatly illustrates the point.



You can only do the opposite, and only then on the tails.
So if you have the IQ test of someone in that is in the 140s, it is more likely to be East Asian or Jewish than it is to be black.

Just like if you look at a 100m dash time of below 10s. It is more likely to be a black man than it is to be an East Asian woman.

Fortunately though, the vast majority of people simply end up being normies in the middle of the graph. Which means that judgment of an individual can only be done by judging that individual.

Et tu, Brute?

So you guys are fine with forgoing merit and individuality when it suits you, only to cry about it when it isn't in your favour?

I was being deeply sarcastic

As was I originally

LOL. ja nee, that teacher is too stupid to be allowed to teach, that's for sure, for verbalising such things

 

[RedViking]

What music they gonna play?

I'll drop it, I just had experience in the Caster thread(exchange was deleted) where he accused me of being racist towards him, which is why I find his other comment amusing

I hear you but you gotta give brothers some place to vent. It is very expensive to braai these days so those conversations happen here. Think of myBB as a safety valve in a pressure cooker.

Teachers are people. They are expected to spend hours of their day talking to, and educating children. I'd say it's impossible to expect them not to impart their personal views on the children they're trying to educate. Not to warp the minds of the youth but to encourage debate around a topic. If you want your child to live in a bubble where their feelings are not hurt, don't let them interact with other humans. ever.

Exactly this.

There is nothing worse in the world than treating people based on a group average.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Well

The teacher certainly has a point

 

[RonSwanson]

Well

The teacher certainly has a point

Maybe The Probe can find it.

I dislike how there is no context to the story, for all we know he was quoting someone else.

 

[grok]

You mean like white people are racist, or has all the capital? LOL

I wonder why people who say stupid shyte like this are not laughed out of the building. Instead people resort to getting their chips knocked off and get recreationally outraged, or "distraught". Imagine if humanity ever encounters extra-terrestrial life and those lifeforms call us genetically stupid .

I fear the truth of what really was said will never see the light of day. The Libs will see to that.

Imagine what kind of sad being you must be to get offended by something like this

 

[My_King]

He he..... doooooooooos.

Take it you pissed a few people off?

 

[My_King]

Imagine what kind of sad being you must be to get offended by something like this

Not only that but how sad it must be that if you believe everything that you are being taught

The type of person who gets offended by a statement like that needs Hotep Jesus.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Indeed

Lol...... He's just pissed off to be in a lower IQ bracket.

The problem with all of this is that the average person is to stupid to understand averages. Someone way below the average always feel offended for being called average when they should be taking it as a compliment.
