The reason why it is called the Bell Curve is because it is about
differences, differences between all kinds of groups, even brothers.
The authors made the hard decision to include the racial data, despite
the hate publishing that information would draw for a reason. And the
is because leftists interpret the fact that some racial groups do not
do as well as others, as proof that America is racist. As it turns
out IQ has more to do with success; than race, education, or social
economic background.
