This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I don't consider a Google Images search to be a well-sourced claim, and even beyond that, averages don't capture the whole picture. Which you might know, if you didn't have a complete disdain for statistical methodology. This isn't the weeds, it's the absolute bedrock basics, which I keep trying to tell you. Do you have an actual source? Do you recognize that your stated claims above don't even match the data you yourself hint at?
I don't consider vague handwaving in the direction of poverty to be a serious argument in the first place. If there were any meaningful population-level cognitive metric where the racial gap could be plausibly reduced to income, or any other factor able to be discussed in polite company, the media would make sure absolutely everyone knew about it and this place would have fifty threads per month on the topic.
If you do happen to be sitting on such game-changing data then feel free to make a top-level post on the subject in this week's thread, as I'm sure everyone will be very much interested, but personally I'm done here.
If not, then don't feel glum. The people who agree with you are the ones actually making policy on the subject, and that's likely to remain the case indefinitely. You'll get to spend the rest of your life talking about how the gap can theoretically be closed.
