There is a stereotype that white people are less athletic than black people.

All else held equal, this would indeed make white men inferior athletes to black men, as I acknowledge in my response to danifong.

I didn't declare women as having "universally inferior psyches", I declared women as being potentially inferior in job-related tasks on the assumption that stereotype threat applies to those tasks in addition to GRE exams.



Yeah, sure, a group performs worse under discrimination; must be something wrong with them...


According to you, the simple non-discriminatory act of putting "Select one: Male [ ] Female [ ]" on a math test is sufficient to reduce female performance.

The value judgments ("something wrong with them") are something you fabricated, not something from my post.
