I am reading over James Flynn’s book on Arthur Jensen, Race and IQ from 1980<\/a>. It’s very interesting from a historical perspective, and probably the best description of Jensen’s views writing by someone who disagreed with him. After a long discussion of the interpretation of the Eyferth study<\/a> of offspring of US soldiers in post-WW2 US occupation of Germany, he notes:<\/p>\n

The hereditarian can of course entertain a suspicion that Eyferth made mistakes in the execution of his study or that he had bad luck in his subjects despite scrupulous execution. The best way to prove such a point would be to attempt to replicate the study, a development to be welcomed. No one has done a similar study of the US occupation of Japan or Korea or Vietnam, presumably be-cause they lack indigenous scholars obsessed with IQ and because Oriental languages are not often part of an American social scientist’s education.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A curious omission. US soldiers were present in Vietnam<\/a> for almost 20 years, so there must be lots of mixed offspring, including some by US black soldiers. US occupation of Japan<\/a> lasted for 7 years. US soldiers have been present in (South) Korea since 1950<\/a>, so about 68 years. I had a look in Google Scholar for any literature on the topic, but didn’t find much besides a few<\/a> books<\/a> of general relevance. I suspect a literature exists, but was published in the local language. I can’t read any of these languages, but by writing this post it’s my hope that a reader can have a look. I will write a few relevant researchers I know from these countries and ask that they have a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
