Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Sigh.......Yes, socio-economic factors will of course have influence upon certain things, but the point is that, IF IQ TESTING WERE TO BE THE UTTERLY OBJECTIVE TESTING OF BASIC INTELLIGENCE IT CLAIMS TO BE (apologies but shouting is sometimes the only way), then such factors would be irrelevant to test results. IQ relies upon learned methods, and this is where socio-economic factors come into it - go to a shit school because you live in a poor area (not of course that all schools in poor areas are shit), and you have less chance of being taught these methods in detail.
