Are there really any innate psychological differences between "races"?

[pecksniff]

"Innate" meaning, of course, based in heredity, not environment. Some intellectual or emotional characteristics that would not be changed by a baby being adopted and raised by somebody of a different race.

Tell is what you really think.

Not necessarily racial, but there are wide cultural differences, that are more economic and structural than anything else.

A black baby adopted by a wealthy white family would most likely inherit the characteristics of the family. Same goes of a white baby adopted by a wealthy black family.

Any argument of genetic differences I've ever seen rarely have any merit and typically wind up being an argument bathed in racism.

Well, of course it would be "bathed in racism." What you're talking about is what's called "scientific racism" or "racialism" or "racial realism."

Yah, the word I used works just fine.

Environment and life experiences play a stronger role, along with culture more so than race.

A Yoruba man in Nigeria among his fellow population in his homeland will have a different psychological approach to life than a black American man living in St. Louis as a minority in a country full of racial micro-aggressions (and even macro-aggressions).

Yet there is no flood of black people leaving the HORRIBLE EVIL USA for Africa.

Imagine that

Genetically, people are essentially identical....except for some randomness in genes and mutation.

Expression of this identical-ness is absolutely different among even identical twins(I know this first hand via experience) and it is a puzzle as to what it is all about(how much heredity or environment?).

Environmental factors(especially culture, politics, geography and many more factors) add to the soup that makes us human.

Humans are wonderful!!! Except the turds, which comes in any group and we all know who the turds are around here.

I should have thought Americans had left that old Biblical argument behind back in the 1960s. It's amazing it even survived past the 1860s.

Noah was kind of an asshole, too.
Word around the ark is that he'd get drunk and strip.

The question itself isn't well defined. There's more genetic variation among individuals of the same "race" than there is between different races. Race for humans means something else (largely a social construction) than it means for other animals (largely a genetic construction).

I know, I know -- there is more genetic variation among chimpanzees than among humans, and they only inhabit one continent.

Yes. Trump supporters have an IQ half of all other races. Call them what they are.

It seems to work by analogy to breeds of dogs or horses -- of course, those are products of artificial selection, by humans, controlling the animals' breeding with certain goals in mind.
