This Research Brief, spotlighting interesting academic work, originally appeared at The Conversation.

Racial and ethnic disparities in advanced math and science skills occur far earlier in the U.S. than previously known. Our new study finds that 13% of white students and 16% of Asian students display advanced math skills by kindergarten. The contrasting percentage for both Black and Hispanic students is 4%.

These disparities then continue to occur throughout elementary school. By fifth grade, 13% of white students and 22% of Asian students display advanced math skills. About 2% of Black students and 3% of Hispanic students do so. Similar disparities occur in advanced science skills.

What explains these disparities? Factors that consistently explain these disparities include the family’s socioeconomic status – such as parental education and household income – and the student’s own understanding of math, science and reading during kindergarten. . . more

Bro there’s so many studies and experiments that show niggers are retarded they never even argue the results they just cry racism everytime a new one comes out. If we just accept that niggers are stupid we can move forward as a society. Maybe nigger Ed classs idk. This denial is dangerous though as we see with every new city burning. It’s like a witch hunt where all the crazies are dumber more violent animals

I was surprised Yahoo dared to print something like this as woke as they are.

It's because they ignored the undeniable evidence that it's IQ and blamed "socioeconomic status" and the government not doing enough before college. It's just Commie agitprop.

Every once in a while those dummies on the left slip up. I remember when trump was running some guy did a study on who does the most actual work while at work. Whites the most Mexican and Asians next. Blacks the least. He said he didn’t want to release it during the election cauze he didn’t want it to push people to vote for trump. These assholes are embarrassing. Even when you yourself PROVE yourself wrong you double down. Or who knows maybe he was pretending and did it all on purpose
