If IQ tests are ‘culturally biased’, then we would expect the highest scoring group to share the same culture as the test writers.
This assumes that if a test is culture biased, it must be biased in favor of the culture as a whole. A test can be culture biased by hyper-valuing a set of skills prominent in one culture, even if that skill set is stronger in some other culture. If IQ is biased, say, toward “academic culture,” even though this is a feature of “white U.S. culture” it may be even more a part of East Asian culture.
What I think your argument shows is that the tests aren’t intentionally biased in favor of one culture specifically. In fact, the studies of early IQ testing shows there was intentional bias (not so much today), but rather than being in favor of the dominant culture, it was against the cultures of particular immigrants. (I’m speaking of the Army Alpha tests.)
That’s exactly the kind of consideration that should lead people to downvote responses to “trolls.” If you think someone is stupidly “feeding trolls,” you should downvote them.
It seems that E.Y. is miffed that readers aren’t punishing troll feeders enough and that he’s personally limited to a single downvote. As an end-run around this sad limitation, he seeks to multiply his downvote by 6 by instituting an automatic penalty for this class of downvotable comment.
Nothing is so outrageously bad about troll feeding that it can’t be controlled by the normal means of karma allocation. The bottom line is that readers simply don’t mind troll feeding as much as E.Y. minds it; otherwise they’d penalize it more by downvotes. E.Y. is trying to become more of an autocrat.
