There are plenty of upper class mestizos in Mexico as well.

Of course there are some but the vast majority are poverty stricken.

I wouldn't say the vast majority, I think I remember reading that about half of Mexico's population is middle class, so I'm guessing a little less than half of the population is in poverty. That's still a high poverty rate overall, but a big chunk of the country lives comfortably.

South Asian? They're Native Americans, not Vietnamese. Yeah, blacks do tend to do better than natives, particularly since Trinidad is an oil rich nation (kinda like how oil "civilized" the Arab world).

Also, I think you're ignonant on this subject and possibly basing some of these assumptions off that "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" book. That book is a bunch of garbage for reasons I've mentioned earlier.
Never read that one. I recommend 'The Bell Curve' or 'A Troublesome Inheritance'. Of course, those have detractors as well but the social sciences are controlled by liberals whose livelihoods depend on the equality myth so take their quibbling with a block of salt.

All I'm saying is that you should look at the sources that many of the IQ figures frequently cited by "racial realists" come from.

Actually, when he/she mentioned South Asians, they actually did mean South Asians and not natives.

People with ancestry from India make up the largest percentage of the Trinidadian population.

50% is a horrendous poverty rate. Hence our illegal alien issues.

Are you sure?

I hear the tongs and the Ghost Shadows gang are moving in over there. Not to mention Asian business people setting up massage parlors, brothels, nail salons, Chinese takeout food joints, and "hot and cold bed" houses (where one worker who does the night shift sleeps in the bed in the day and one worker who does the day shift sleeps in the bed at night with each bedroom stacked with as many bunk beds as it can fit) to employ (enslave) illegal aliens who need to pay off a ridiculous sum of money for being smuggled in illegally.
