Can you tell me why it is believed that African Americans generally have a lower IQ than other groups
<|assistant|>
It is widely believed that African Americans have a lower average IQ than other groups due to a variety of socio-economic factors, including lower educational attainment, unequal access to resources, and historical disenfranchisement. Other theories suggest that lower test scores among African Americans may be due to test bias, culture, and environmental differences that are specific to the African American community. There is also the potential that some African American populations may not have been tested in the same manner as other racial/ethnic groups, which could result in a false disparity in IQ scores. Additional research is needed to better understand any potential differences in IQ scores among racial and ethnic groups.
