Obviously you didn't read the article, or you would understand all of the confounding variables at play, as well as the authors' disagreement with the idea these differences are due to race.

But hey, racist an-cap account made four days ago. Seems legit.

No it doesn't. You are a racist and your entire argument comes of as white supremacist. its shameful that you hold views like you do. Should someone non white be allowed to serve in the fire department or police department according to you? Should someone non white be allowed to be mayor of majority white city?

Blaze and New York Post it is then. Sheesh.

Joking aside though... do IQ tests really prove anything useful in this day and age? I imagine that IQ can be affected quite heavily by various factors including social class, education, and even upbringing. I've met some truly idiotic intelligent people, and some damn smart dumb people.

Good for you.

Though it mustn't be a particularly good college if the tutors of the writing department in the English language are unable to read a short piece of text particularly referring to high-school classes.

Then again most people in Europe would agree that American colleges are basically equivalent to high school anyway, so you're excused.

Actually, it's your comprehension that's lacking here. I stated that a student will struggle in college if they don't know how to cite their sources by time they enter university. Since you clearly know so much about the American system, you must understand that students graduate high school before they enter college. The implication is that any college-ready American student knows how to cite their sources, which they must have learned in a high-school setting or before. This negates your point that there aren't many high school English classes that require proper citation.

By the way, my university ranks higher for research influence than any European university. I know you wouldn't let facts get in the way of a good narrative though.

Both of the high schools I've been to, in different parts of the country, have required you to cite sources.

Speaking as a graduate of a European university, I consider your premise to be bollocks.


As a former academic with a US undergraduate degree, two UK postgraduate degrees, and a couple of decades of experience in the academic sector on both sides of the Atlantic (and Australia), perhaps I can add some nuance to this slightly odd debate.

It's probably fair to note that the mandatory 100-level intro courses in American undergraduate institutions are often designed to accommodate some of the issues inherent in your average American high school education by revisiting subjects that have often been taught poorly.

However, that doesn't mean that the entirety of US college is 'basically equivalent to high school'. There's a lot more variety in the American higher education system than in the UK system, and while community colleges and some of the weaker state institutions probably can be characterised as a glorified equivalent of an extended high school, this isn't true of most institutions. In the last two years of an undergraduate degree programme, an above-average American and above-average British institution offer comparable levels of education.

An American MA is generally worth more than a UK MA; most English and Welsh MAs only take a year, and you'd have to do something spectacular to fail. Oxford and Cambridge (and, I think, Trinity College Dublin; though that's not the UK, of course) hand out MAs to anyone who's been a member of the university for c.6 years without any further study at all; it's not a proper postgraduate degree. Confusing the issue further is that in Scotland's older universities, 'Master of Arts' is actually the name of an honours undergraduate degree qualification in the humanities and social sciences.

Doctoral degrees are roughly equivalent in both countries, noting that much depends on the quality of the university studied at. There are differences (UK doctoral students aren't expected to undertake any course work, and go straight into researching their topic), but the degrees from universities of similar stature are equivalent in quality.
