"Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear"

This quote by J. Philippe Rushton is referring to the data gathered from research studies on race distinctions. The quote is recommending that if everyone was treated the same, many typical race differences would still stay. This conclusion is surprising and worrying to numerous, as it suggests that race distinctions are not always caused by unequal treatment, however rather by other aspects. This conclusion challenges the idea that race differences can be removed through equivalent treatment, and recommends that race differences might be more deeply rooted than formerly believed. This conclusion could have implications for how we see race and how we approach race-related problems. It might likewise cause additional research study into the reasons for race differences and how they can be attended to.
