Default PC Sexism

http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/108552

Study indicates that sex differences are innate, based on PET scans of monkey brains and toy preferences differing between sexes. I never understood the men and women are equal BS. It should be that men and women shold be given equal OPPORTUNITY, which I think the more enlightened folks agree with.
Men and women differ measurably on the avereage in abilities and preferences. This says NOTHING about a specific man or woman.

Certain Races differ measurably on the avereage in abilities and preferences.
But if you say this, the "Slobber's and the Babbling Spluttering Know It all Liberals will demand that you be exiled into purgatory for all of eternity.

These different races also should have "equal opportunity"

Watch.

If you can control for differences in education and per-capita-income, you'd never find an inherent difference in aptitude. The issue isn't preference or ability: it's nature v. nurture.

You WOULD find differences in aptitude. People are different.

I call BS. The more science studies the "races" the less physical difference (aside from pigmentation and other climate-related adaptations). We all have the same DNA.

No we do not. There are racial differences in DNA. They are small but they do exist. You're doing the PC bit denying science. Your 1st sentence contradicts your 2nd. Why? Ideology.

No it doesn't! I'm saying that the differences in DNA that we have are strictly related to adaptiveness to different environments. Scientists believe all humans came from Africa and emigrated from there.

One minute people are arguing against the theory of evolution, the next they're trying to use DNA to explain the effects of keeping people down.

If you'd grown up in poverty and without much education I'd like to see you take some of those aptitude tests.

Evolution has 2 main drivers, adaptation to 'environment' and random mutation. This causes the DNA to differ, assuming limited cross breeding.

Who's arguing to keep people down?
