I do not follow the reasoning of your breakdown. Statisticly any result can be broken down into any number of catagories. But it is not the number of catagories that determines their probability, it is their distribution of weight. So I will continue on the basis of that weight.
Therefore the basis that intelligence adds to racism loses weight because those of greater intelligence are far less likely to follow the groups rationalization, and is is the majority of the group following this train of thought that results in racism.
The basis on the two being co-incidental implies that racism would be in equal evidence in all fields if they are divided by incidence of particapion of the different intellectual groups. This is where my first observation would be classified.
The basis that intelligence reduces racism, is strengthened in my opinion, by the fact that a rational mind will note over time that personal attributes are not mutually exclusive to any paticular race. So therefroe the intelligent individual will seek the attributes in the company he seeks rather than the race that may or may not contain them. |
