I feel I should point out the elephant in the room: you have never graduated from high school. You admitted this much when we argued in IRC a while ago. This means you lack the proper background to make statistical inferences like the ones you've attempted to make in this thread. One could further argue that you lack basic reading comprehension and that you're a moron, which by your own reasoning justifies discrimination against you.
Now you're assuming a link between intelligence and language. You aren't a linguist, nor have you studied linguistics, otherwise you would know that this hypothesis has been universally rejected. If you can find a peer-reviewed work that says that language determines capacity for abstract thought, I will give you over 9000 dollars. I'd be surprised if you could even find a recent work that says that language significantly affects how people perceive the world, because this is also rejected by the majority of linguists. In short, this is possibly the worst argument you could use to justify racism. This is probably why you didn't get into college Wehrmacht - not because affirmative action gave your spot to a black man, but because you make stupid fucking arguments like the one I quoted above.

the dude's a straight up 1890s eugenecist and one big long argument from authority is the best you can do?
