Racism in the modern economy does not explain why black people earn less, have fewer jobs, have worse loans, and have less education, than white Americans:

Norwegian history books are anti-Christian and anti-White

“Something to do with European supremacy”, a new study by Bergen University student Kristoffer Tyssøy Høisæther, has uncovered double standards in the way history is being presented in Norwegian textbooks used today in elementary and high schools.

According to Høisæther, there is a pronounced difference in the way Western and Islamic history in the Middle Ages is portrayed. In general, there tends to be an overemphasis on the problematic aspects of Western history, as opposed to a prevalent omission of problematic aspects within Islamic history.

The most remarkable finding in my work is how Europeans are consistently portrayed as ‘abusers’, as opposed to other cultures and peoples, who continually hold a sacrificial role”, Høisæther wrote in an article in the news outlet Reset.

To quantify this finding, the author listed 25 instances of massacres, mass killings and genocides depicted in history books, all of which were carried out by Europeans. By contrast, Muslims and Jews are exclusively given the role of victim.

Nature Human Behavior has decided to form “ethics committees” that would censor group research that has already passed peer review, if they decide that the research is “racist”.

Analysis of data from 101 countries showed that the more genetically different two populations are, the larger the IQ difference between them tended to be.

The female pelvic shape and typical childbirth pattern differs among various racial groups.

Therefore, the obstetrician training based on a European pelvis model should be updated, "especially in a multi-ethnic society."

When researchers looked at shoppers with low income & education living in rich neighborhoods with more healthy food, their shopping mimicked that of low-income, less educated people in poorer neighborhoods.

New study finds that both self-control and IQ predict academic competence & school-reported grades in a longitudinal model, but IQ is a sig. stronger predictor than self-control.

Some evidence that drug laws work: controlling for earlier levels of use, twins who live in states where marijuana is now legal use marijuana around 20% more than their co-twin living in a non-legal state.
