Talking about Bell Curve?For those who are in the dark it's about genetic intelligence by race in US.It puts E.Asians(Japanese)on top.Europeans(including Jews)in the middle and Black Americans and Hispanics in the bottom.This book created a furor because it simply says blacks would still be in the bottom because they are born that way.Now,ever heard of surveys released by PAP that Singaporeans are now earning more than year back?Yup,it's purely statistical ain't it?Likewise this Bell Curve thingy;purely based on statistics too.And we all know "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. The Bell Curve - An Interview with Charlie Rose and Charles Murray .
