Race and intelligence are ideas that are sometimes used to talk about how people's minds work. Intelligence is an idea that measures how smart or clever someone is. Race is an idea that measures the color of someone's skin and their background or where they come from. Some people believe that how intelligent someone is may be different depending on what race they are and this can be seen in different skills and characteristics. However, this is generally not considered true, since people of all races can be intelligent and can learn the same things.
