Presumption of Superiority

Science Fallacy:
Presumption of superiority, assuming the superiority of your own why of doing or seeing things.
Presumptions of superiority is incorrect because the systems thrive on balance not sameness.
Example: IQ tests have a presumption of superiority for people who understand latin roots. In other words people who are educated in latin roots and their children are presumed to be superior in IQ without any real evidence.
Example: Hate groups have a presumption of superiority for people of certain races, or people without disability, or people most like themselves.
Example: Wars were killing another persons children.

Science Challenge: Name more presumptions of superiority.
