The findings, opinions, conclusions and recommendations of an article that claimed that coloured women in South Africa have an increased risk of low cognitive functioning, owing to low education levels and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, are those of the authors alone, Stellenbosch University said on Wednesday.
Their cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and a computerised neurocognitive test, finding that they"present with low cognitive function and which is significantly influenced by education". "As an institution we are opposed to racism, including intellectual racism or attributing cognitive capacities such as intelligence in terms of race.
News24 approached faculty of medicine and health sciences professor Elmarie Terblanche for comment. This will be added once received.it was"unfortunate" that the report had been criticised for playing into racist tropes. She said racial groups were specified as they may exhibit different health problems.Petition launched over 'intellectually deficient' study
TammyPetersen87 Kak study
TammyPetersen87 My only problem with the research which acknowledges the effects of apartheid, social conditions and behaviours is that it did not name the community. Coloured women in place X face a problem is more helpful.
TammyPetersen87 Guys do u honestly think in this day and age a varsity will not be very aware of race sensitivity. Read what it is about before u make it a race thing again.
TammyPetersen87 The sample of the population which the research focused on was probably chosen in such a way to reach a preconceived conclusion. Very limited and therefore narrow minded type of thinking by the author. It is a shame that such research was allowed by US to be published.
TammyPetersen87 Can we please report this EFFSouthAfrica PublicProtector I am so sick of this when ppl of colour are treated like they came 2nd to this country. Whites want to claim they invented all things positive but will never take responsibility for inventing racism. U are born from Esau.
TammyPetersen87 It’s a pity the university chose to condone this drivel. As expected the sample size, geographical location & merits reveal the mindset of the writer. The writer irrespective of their perceived race should consider their own coloured heritage, oh yes it’s there.
TammyPetersen87 Studies like this are done all over the world. This one is about exploitation of a vulnerable group and part of a bigger project. It's not about race or IQ. It's been ethically cleared beforehand. Read the article.
TammyPetersen87 People only want facts when it suits them.
TammyPetersen87 Race and IQ needs to be addressed realistically. Hiding from the facts just makes the problem worse.
TammyPetersen87 They had the option to stop the thesis/study when it was proposed.
TammyPetersen87 Let's look at Stellenbosch & how ppl of colour are still treated today. Let's go back to the dop system when alcohol was a payment to ppl of colour after a week of labour. Let me say this...Stellenbosch is a RACIST community thats breeds entitled brats.
TammyPetersen87 What is the expected outcome of the ‘study’?
TammyPetersen87 Let's shoot the messenger, it's a lot easier than addressing the problem.
