Race and intelligence in the United States[edit]

The article is a POV-fork of Race and intelligence. I also see a little of WP:POINT. We have had much debate at R&I and I think that the pressure of feeling like we are not moving forward made this editor try this way. In addition to these points, the article is a WP:SYN at best, a quick glance at the sources reveal that they are outdated and not US-centered. Which brings to the final point, the article is US centered when there is no reason for it to be. For the ongoing discussions at R&I see:

Talk:Race_and_intelligence#Paper_chains
Talk:Race_and_intelligence#New_Ideas
Talk:Race_and_intelligence#Consensus.3F
and what fuels me to believe this is a case of WP:POINT:

- Hesitant Delete as I think there COULD be an article on this topic related to U.S. views. However looking over this it seems like the protected nature of the 'general' page and the problems there is what caused someone to create a U.S. based one which starts out the same way. I'm not sure it's to prove a WP:POINT but I think the issues should be dealt with on the main page before spreading the (ahem) love around to new little seedling articles.
