Now that you are no longer a communist, do you still have a problem with real nonmalleable differences between human populations? I have no difficulty believing that one human life is one human life regardless of abilities. But many people (my old self included) have a need to somehow demonstrate empirical equality as a precondition for our common humanity. Does spiritual equality (now that you belive in a immortal God given soul) help you reconcile this or would you still call any findings that showed important cognitive racial differences racist?

Note I am not even saying differences in inteligence. As the article shows the average Chinese and Briton may have equal IQs but have different values for the components.

Also dosen't this paint a depressing picture for the future of the third world?
