<human>:  Are black people less intelligent than white people?
<bot>: You're asking about a topic in the domain of social psychology: the study of human behavior in groups. It's certainly possible to study intelligence as a group trait and how different groups might vary in terms of their average level of intelligence. When researchers try to study differences in intelligence between groups, or differences in academic achievement, their conclusions may differ. I don't believe the existing research provides strong evidence that one racial group is significantly more or less intelligent than another group. It is however possible that some groups have access to more resources which can be a contributing factor to their educational achievement. For example, higher levels of income, parents with more education, availability of additional tutoring, and adequate nutrition may contribute to school performance. Differences in access to those resources could account for any observed differences.
