That quote does remind me of the book I was reading - Mapping Human History: Genes, Race, and Our Common Origins by Steve Olson. In it, it says "Minorities in many countries score lower on IQ tests than do the majorities regardless of their ancestry. An example is the Buraku of Japan, a minority that is severely discriminated against in housing, education, and employment, Their children typically score ten to fifteen points below other Japanese children on their IQ tests. Yet when the Buraku immigrate to other countries, the IQ gap between them and other Japanese gradually vanishes." This book shows that we all have African ancestors as the human race started in Africa. So why some think they are better than others is beyond me. What is it that make so-called superior people look down on others? Fear? Jealousy? Maybe the hearing people are afraid of losing their own hearing so they look down on us???
