The point here Doctor, isn't the range or even the manifestation of "giftedness." It is the consistent claim of a child being "gifted" by parents who are clueless or worse yet abusively pushing a child just so they can by proxy seem special. Furthering that along are those parents who claim a child is gifted as an excuse for their unwillingness or inability to discipline. These parents claim a child's misbehavior is due to "bored becasue they are gifted." This of course is a fallacy, their child is not acting our because of boredom but becasue of a lack of discipline.

White people love “gifted†children, do you know why? Because an astounding 100% of their kids are gifted! Isn’t that amazing?
I’m pretty sure the last non-gifted white child was born in 1962 in Reseda, CA. Since then, it’s been a pretty sweet run.
The way it works is that white kids that are actually smart are quickly identified as “gifted†and take special classes and eventually end up in college and then law school or med school.
But wait, aren’t there white people who aren’t doctors or lawyers, or even all that smart?
Well, here is another one of those awesome white person win-win situations.
Because if a white kid gets crappy grades and can’t seem to ever do anything right in school, they are still gifted! How you ask? They are just TOO smart for school. They are too creative, too advanced to care about the trivial minutiae of the day to day operations of school.
Eventually they will show their creativity in their elaborate constructions of bongs and intimate knowledge different kinds of mushrooms and hash.
This is important if you ever find yourself needing to gain white person acceptance. If you see their kid playing peacefully, you say “oh, he/she seems very focused, are they in a gifted program?†at which point the parent will say “yes.†Or if the kid is lighting a dog on fire while screaming at their mother, you say “my he/she is a creative one. Is he/she gifted?†To which the parent will reply “oh, yes, he’s too creative and smart for school. We just don’t know what to do.†Either situation will put a white person in a better mood and make them like you more.
But NEVER under any circumstance imply that their child is less than a genius. The idea that something could come from them and be less than greatness is too much for them to bear.

Some selected excerpts:
"Research studies consistently show that parents are better judges of a child's intellectual abilities than classroom teachers. The following checklists may be helpful to you in determining if your child's intellectual abilities lie in the "gifted" range."
Intellectual Giftedness in Toddlers
Short List of Gifted Characteristics (Preschool)
Comparison of Bright vs Gifted
Who Is Gifted?
Short list of typical gifted preschooler (ages 2-5) characteristics:
Uses advanced vocabulary for age. No, moo. "I made a stinky in the big potty" doesn't count
Uses spontaneous verbal elaboration with new experiences. A tard suddenly bellowing out when faced with a new environment, like at a restaurant, isn't what they are talking about here.
Has the ability to make interesting or unusual shapes or patterns through various media: blocks, playdough, crayons. Oh, I have seen some of those "gifted" playdough ashtrays and candy dishes and I think NOT
Ability to assemble puzzles designed for older children. "Assembly"doesn't refer to dumping the box out all over the floor and smearing the pieces with peanut butter or his own shit
Sense of humor used in general conversation. Putting Shitlee on the phone to repeat(and poorly at that)a knock-knock joke doesn't count either
Understanding of abstract concepts such as death and time. Understanding the little rotting tree frog they have kept in their closet for a week isn't coming back is NOT what they mean. Understanding "time" as it flashes on a digital clock wasn't what they had in mind. "Bratford KNOWS what time he eats lunch!" isn't a sign of genius either.
Mastery of new skills with little repetition. They aren't referring to new "skills" like Snotford spontaneously turning on a tv with a new remote(that looks like the old one) or mimicking what he sees his moo or duh do.
Demonstration of advanced physical skills. Oh, they think anything the little bastard does physically qualifies him for the fucking Olympics.
Demonstration of advanced reasoning skills through explanation of occurrences.So, he understands, through his "gifted" reasoning that smearing his diaper juice on the walls will get him a spanking because moo explained it to him
While I do agree with this list as being a good indicator of "giftedness", the problem is the moo's interpretation of it, which I have identified in my red letter commentary via examples I have witnessed over the years.
