Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Numerous studies have found that the average mathematics achievement test scores of Asian students are higher than those of North American students, indicating some racial and ethnic differences in intelligence. However, the other options are not supported by research. School desegregation has actually been found to increase academic achievement of Black American children, not decrease it. There is no evidence to support the claim that those with the most African ancestry receive the highest intelligence test scores among American Blacks. Additionally, the gap in intelligence test scores between Black and White individuals has not been shown to be increasing in recent years.
