racial differences in intelligence

Research on racial differences in intelligence shows that factors like environment, socioeconomic status, education, access to resources, and historical disparities significantly influence test outcomes. While some studies have reported average differences, these do not reflect innate ability, and the variation within any racial group is much greater than between groups. It's important to recognize that "race" is a social construct, not a strict biological category, and intelligence is complex, influenced by many factors beyond biology. Focusing on equitable opportunities and environment is essential for understanding and addressing disparities.
