openSNP could resolve Race and Intelligence

[mikemikev]

The race and intelligence question can be solved with a pile of genomic data. For example: Testing colorism using genomic data without phenotypic data. Various academics and genotyping companies refuse to touch the question or release the necessary data to resolve it. I've noticed this cool website "openSNP" where people upload their raw 23andme data and any phenotypic data they can provide. They have about 5000 people already, and as this builds up it will eventually have enough data to resolve the question. If you know anyone that gets a 23andme ask them to upload their data to the site. Mixed race people are especially useful for the study, although I'm guessing that's not the number one friend choice here.

If only! Any volunteer genetics database is going to one glaring problem:

Disproportionately intelligent people use it and lower-iq groups aren't going to bother with it. Niggers don't know what genetics is, let alone willing to pay for something to find their actual heritage (they'd be disappointed that they wazn't kangs).

Perhaps incentivizing groids to make their genetic information known would help the more sceptical reach the racial intelligence question. Paying for niggerspit just sounds gross, though.

The real question is, should stormers who have had their DNA scanned enter their info? What are the downsides?

People of mixed ancestry are especially useful since they can disconnect appearance and brain genes due to recombination. Admittedly the sample is mostly Whites, but there are more than a few Africans and African Americans (who are mixed). Here's a listing by self reported ancestry.

Further ancestry can be determined from genotype by eg. ADMIXTURE software even if not stated.

Even if the sample is skewed towards higher intelligence, as long as variation exists between races the method will operate to determine if "discrimination" is a factor.

The sample should probably be larger, but it's getting larger.

You can enter your DNA without giving your full name I think. I guess the only downside is if you commit a crime and forensics get your DNA and match it there, and they force an ISP to trace you.
