Rushton vs. the People
Has China Been Rewriting History to Make Europeans Look Average?
Do Asians have the highest IQs? During the 1980s and 90s, Canadian psychologist Philippe Rushton presented his theory of racial ‘lifehistory’. He maintained that black Africans are athletically superior to whites (except for swimming), whereas East Asians are most intelligent, though less sexual and less athletic than whites.
After the controversy erupted, and Rushton was called a “Racist Pig”, he doubled down with a book titled, Race, Evolution, and Behavior (1995). His research placed whites in the middle of two extremes (r/K) as the “average race”, neither physically nor mentally superior.
And I happen to think that’s all Chinese propaganda. You see, we were told that Rushton was a White supremacist, a right-wing scientist, and his research a prime example of scientific racism. But the reality doesn’t align with Rushton’s findings:
A recent research by Bryan Pesta et al. (December 2023) could not replicate the alleged Asian miracle-IQ. In fact, native European Whites scored highest on IQ tests of all recently imported ethnic groups living in Britain, including Chinese. Pesta concluded that the average IQ of Chinese people was about 98, below the 100 for native Whites.
One small group did outclass native Whites—Jews—but no other group did. It means that White people are the largest group of people with the highest average IQ. As a race, they have no match.
In one of Rushton’s later lectures, he denied Whites produced the largest numbers of genius. He favored a theory that said China had always been ahead of the West, and that the Black Death (that killed half of Europeans during the 13th/14th centuries) temporarily gave higher-IQ Europeans a benefit, but that China, ultimately, by the 20th century, had closed the gap once again.
Really? So this is how I came to see that, perhaps, Rushton was a Chinese foreign agent paid to push “white averageness”? Luckily, we have Dr. Ricardo Duchesne (who is Puerto Rican) who has chronicled White achievements through the ages, such as:
the domestication of horses;
the fact that “ancient Greeks cultivated a mathematics that was superior to that of Islamic, Chinese, Indian, and Babylonian civilizations combined”;
or that, overall, “whites win most athletic competitions … even though they are 10% of the world's population”;
or that White women "dominate most athletic competitions” and are starting to take over track and field;
or that Whites invented almost all sports practiced today;
or that White men invented almost all modern technologies?
whereas “Africans don't have a single achievement in history they can identify other than living among whites.”
In conclusion, Whites actually have the highest large-group intelligence, they win most athletic competitions, they have produced most Nobel laureates, they invented almost every modern technology, they created modern culture, orchestral music, and architecture that everyone else now emulates, even Arabs, despite now being less than 10% of the global population.
The alleged Black Athletic Supremacy seems to materialize only in certain sports such as sprinting and running (and rape and violent crime) but not in any sport requiring complex skills (such as computer programming, archery, or surgery). Bear in mind that the world’s Strongest Man competitions are still usually won by White man, and mostly of Nordic or East-European descent.
Asians may not be able to produce large numbers of geniuses because of their closely-knit, communist psychologies that refrain them from breaking out of standardized behaviors—and it may be genetic. They may have knack for feminine manipulation.
Now I wonder if the real reason why left-wing college students rioted against Rushton was that they felt hurt by the fact they’re not physically the most athletic? Or perhaps the black students were most agitated by the fact they’re not going to be the cleverest professors. Or were they raised by oversocialized parents?
Rushton seems to have used his research primarily to lend credence to the Out-of-Africa theory, claiming we are all descendants of Africans. Alas, that theory, too, has been debunked. How come no one outside of Africa has the frizz hair? How come Sub-Saharan Africa was the last place on earth to acquire furniture such as tables and chairs (and only after European introduced it to them)?
Just get it over with. Whites are superior, both physically and mentally, as a race, but it has infected the rest of the world with an incurable envy, despite our dogoodery.
We need to watch our backs. And we need to put the focus on ourselves again. Only we will know where the world is headed next.
