The reason why race is such a sensitive topic is because there are various stereotypes
about the races. These stereotypes are not only historicah they continue to spread in
our modern world. One of these stereotypes concerns intelligence. Recent books andarticles in the United States have suggested that not all races are equally intelligent.
The ranking in these studies reach the same conclusion East Asians are the mostintelligent followed by whites, and blacks are the least intelligent. Naturally, such a
broad claim needs to be supported by evidence so these studies use IQ scores from awide number of areas to support their belief. For example, they state that blacks scorean average of ten to fifteen points lower than whites on IQ tests.

In the United States, black people are often called `African Americans'. This is because
their ancestors came to America within the past dozen or so generations. However, infact, all humans today have African origins. It is just a question of how long ago ourancestors lived there. In the case of Europeans and Japanese people, for example, theanswer may be around 100,000 years ago. The last common ancestor of Europeans andJapanese people may be about 50,000 years ago. In this sense, we are all related to10

each other and skin color is quite meaningless. Therefore, just as black people in theU.S. call themselves African-American, Japanese people can rightly call themselves
African-Japanese.
