I have NEVER claimed you should mistreat people because of their ancestry. I have never claimed that people of high character don't exist in every ethnic group. Averages exist, they are pertinent and it is moral to act on them. Jesse Jackson would act differently around a group of Black teens than Asian. Black clubs are generally more violent than White and it is moral to avoid them even dat be racis'. Send your kids to a Hispanic school regardless of the gang problem (20x the White rate)? If you truly believed that we can't act based on statistical odds, you could buy a mansion for $10k in Detroit. Do you live in a Detroit mansion?

No, there was no straw man. The import them comment is the logical outcome of following the "there are no failing groups" mantra.

You didn't give a reasoned argument. You just kept crying bigot and saying that high proportions of crime, academic failure, and welfare use among certain groups means nothing. You pointed to Thomas Sowell for evidence. I agree: Sowell is a brilliant guy. His "Conflict of Visions" was philosophy as heavy as Berkeley. For you to endlessly babble about individuals is nonsensical, not 'reasoned argument'. If you believed that then you could move to Detroit and live in a mansion for $10,000. I'm wiling to bet that you don't live in a Detroit mansion.

I think you are a moron. Not as bad as Mo4, but a moron nevertheless.

You don't know what a straw man is. What is your educational background?

You don't know what bigot, average, or straw man are you dolt. I merely point out that it's a terrible idea to import millions from failing groups. We've declared war on poverty & crime, yet fine people like you insist it's wrong to exclude certain groups from moving here. How does this story have a happy ending? Neither Blacks or Hispanics are going to earn or learn at the White/Asian levels, are going to keep committing hugely disproportionate crime, and keep voting themselves college seats and jobs. But we needn't worry about that because of Thomas Sowell?

Fun facts about Hispanics - Per capita income of Hispanics is 1/2 & net worth is less than 1/10. - 50% of Hispanic households use welfare: the highest of any group. -They are 3.3x more likely to be in prison than whites; 4.2x more likely to be in prison for murder, and 5.8x more likely to be in prison for felony drug crimes. - join gangs a 20 times the White rate - drop out at 3x the White rate & have illegitimate kids at 2x - bankrupted 60 hospitals by refusing to pay for medical care But let's import them by the millions, because we must judge people by their individual actions.

And again you're highlighting your ignorance of what an average is: half the population will be ABOVE it. You're throwing out a century's worth of psychometric data because you don't like the result. Please, go get your tubes tied before further polluting our gene pool. Ethnic differences in IQ are so well established that only the willfully blind or people too stupid to understand what an average is deny them. Ashkenazim and East Asians are on top, Europeans in the middle... hardly a white supremacist position. Mo4. Did evolution stop at skin color or might different environments have demanded different cognitive abilities? Is it institutional racism that guarantees a black man will win the 100M gold medal this summer?

The Irish were indeed a huge problem. Their violence and per capita alcohol consumption of 5x the native rate made them unpopular. They were able to assimilate as they are genetically similar to other Northern Europeans. You, Mrs. Mother of 4, have nothing to teach about history. You just like to keep chanting das racis'...... please get your tubes tied before you further contaminate the gene pool.

IQ has strong correlations with earnings.
