Are we a minority position?
I'm 3/4 of the way through finishing
The New White Nationalism in America by Carol Swain. She mentions a study I've been trying to track down for a while now. Here is the relevant quote:
At least one important survey suggests that a belief in the biological inferiority [notice the loaded terminology here] of some races in regard to intelligence is more common than generally supposed. Smith College professor Stanley Rothman and Harvard researcher Mark Snyderman surveyed a sample of mostly scientific experts in the field of educational psychology in the late 1980s and found that 53 percent believed IQ differences between whites and African Americans were at least partly genetic in origin, while only 17 percent attributed the IQ differences to environmental factors alone (the remainder either believed the data was currently insufficient to decide the issue or refused to answer the question).
The footnote pinpoints the study as the
Survey of Expert Opinion on Intelligence and Aptitude Testing, in
American Psychologist 42 (1987): 127-44.
Swain's book is pretty good-and despite the title is rather expansive in its treatment of race relations. Book review sometime next week (when I'm supposed to get back to blogging!).
