This, according to historian Mark Wild, “encouraged participants in the sex trade both workers and customers to converge on those neighborhoods regardless of their ethnoracial background.”

The only real serious scientific question is WHY do these well established ethnoracial group intelligence differences exist?
-
Remember, the race/IQ controversy is not about whether ethnoracial groups differ in IQ-type intelligence – every honest observer knows that obviously members of some groups (e.g. Jews, Han-Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and high caste Hindus) tend to be much smarter than average Whites, and that members of some groups (Native Americans, Hispanics, and Blacks) tend to be much less smart than average Whites.
-
This is because all of the ethnoracial group differences in specific molecular genetic genomic differences have been (or are currently being) determined.
-
Now we have genome-wide gene differences cataloged for the following eleven ethnoracial groups:
-
The ethnoracial group genetic differences are the topics of numerous papers in human genomics research and the ethnoracial group differences have been cataloged and stored in several widely accessible databases such as HapMap, NCBI/GenBank/dbSNP, and Ensemble.
-
Finding this sort of scientific discovery does not bode well for the Boasian theory that all ethnoracial groups have the same genetic endowment for intelligence.
-
The Boasian/Environmentalist hypothesis is that ethnoracial group intelligence differences are entirely due to environmental and cultural differences and that genetic differences play no significant role.
-
It is important to realize that it is not possible for scientists to determine the genetic differences that account for variation of IQ within the white racial group without ALSO discovering if these genetic differences appear to underly the ethnoracial group differences.
-
The Galtonian/Hereditarian hypothesis is that ethnoracial group intelligence differences are mainly due to genetic differences (but also, to a lesser degree, due to environmental and cultural differences).
