From what I read, Ali took an army IQ test and it showed him at IQ 78 which is borderline retarded. But the guy doesn't strike me as dumb at all. He's clever, quick-witted and always has some snappy come back. It really makes you question the veracity of IQ tests. A person with an IQ of 78 should barely be functional.
This is why it's impossible to take the "Human Bio-Diversity" crowds IQ estimates seriously. If you take Richard Flynn's numbers (one of the authors of the Bell Curve) at face value than the majority of sub-Saharan Africans are literally mentally retarded, (i.e IQ below 70). Can anyone whose ever met African immigrants honestly say they believe in those statistics with a straight face?
The U.S gets the cream of the crop of African immigration, much like how it gets the better mid eastern immigrants vs the bottom of the barrel that Europe gets.
Not saying that most Africans are retarded mind you but you have to put things into perspective.
Most African immigrants where I am are refugees. They're not doing ridiculously well like Nigerians in America are (25% of black Harvard students, 25% get postgrad degrees vs 11% of whites), but the vast majority complete high school and are well represented for their (small) size in universities, and they don't get affirmative action here. Therefore it's just impossible that their average IQ's are below 70.
