Re: hbd, are there tests where black score higher than whites? I'd think visual acuity and color discrimination (color blobs, no pun intended; is there literature regarding it?). I mean those tests than not centered about some highly specific black culture and also those that also would be similarly remote from preindustrial societies as IQ tests.
Don't think there's any real test measurement but anecdotally West Africans seem unsually good at language acquisition. Obviously a cultural component as well, but the widespread beliefs about the difficulty of adult language acquisition don't seem to apply to the Nigerian touts at shady Japanese nightclubs who are capable of pestering potential customers in Chinese/Japanese/Korean as well as every major western language.
