The end.
Have you seen the forums at ancestry.com and 23andme.com? Most Latinos are actually half white and half Asian (native American) so by your theory Latinos should be super intellectuals - that is if you go by race.

Most African Americans are at least 30% white of British ancestry for your information.

So what other easily debunked dumb racial theory do you have up your sleeve?

I love to be entertained! Please do tell!

Bullies exist all over the nation and there is no evidence it's worse in urban areas than anywhere else. What happened to Bimbkenyz was terrible, but that doesn't justify him arguing others should be trapped in conditions he fought so hard to escape.

Bullying is unacceptable regardless!

Actually, the average African-American is ~23% Caucasian. Ready for the cool part? The average African-American has a 23% higher IQ than their Sub-Saharan counterparts.

Ain't math and genetics fun?

Just to clarify: IQ isn't 100% heritable but is the single largest contributing factor.

Jared Taylor, your theory is ridiculous, th average IQs of different groups change over time.

And that book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" is garbage, partly because the figures it uses are often outdated, come from a small sample size, or are completely made up.

And maybe it's just me, but I suspect that it's not, that most people feel a bit entitled to living and having their kids go to school with people of similar socioeconomic status, though I place a bit less importance to the economic portion because I grew up poor myself. And I don't feel particular bad about it because I know that most people that do all the right things in crappy areas can get out eventually it's a way of paying your dues. I am okay with unzoned, but screened admissions which minimizes the academic performance impact. Why else would I or anyone else pay bigger bucks to live in a certain area. So yes I am guilty of being selfish. Maybe I should have just listened to others and brought a house in the suburbs, but I wanted to stay within NYC and thought that I was entitled to a good neighborhood and good schools, and have a community feel that is so rare in NYC because I was willing to pay the going rate for a house that had the attributes I was looking for. The whole thing is an unnecessary headache not that you'll understand because you don't have skin in the game. I should have just listened to others in all the work places that I've been to, shut myself up, and wall in myself with others in the suburbs. I admit to defeat and being wrong so next time I'll just follow the herd with stuff like this.
Wanting socioeconomic separation even if it harms people and helps create the conditions that damaged you as a child? I doubt all those friends and friends are well off, what happens to them and their children? Having a house in the suburbs doesn't shield you or your children from all problems in life. Nationally overdoses are leading cause of death of people under 50.
Overdoses now leading cause of death of Americans under 50 - CBS News

You need to move on beyond what happened in your childhood and realize there are certainly problems around the nation as a whole.

But back to the moving out of crappy areas, that's the problem perhaps with you and your family. Your family came to the US in search of a better life and you left your neighborhood in search of a better life. The problem is when it comes to sheer numbers MOST people won't be able to do that. Ultimately conditions have to be improved where people live. Moving away is not always the answer. I'm not saying you have to live in a place where you don't want to, but just because you move away doesn't mean that those problems aren't there and they have to be dealt with one way or another at some point by someone.

Trying to trap people back in the same conditions in the old neighborhood goes far beyond being selfish. It's just awful man. Don't be that guy.

According to the DOE website, Asians are the smartest, followed by whites. Then Hispanics, and then blacks. The disparity between whites and Hispanics is far too wide of a gap. Politicians need to be held accountable. They've become so ingrained in every aspect of our daily lives that they've forgotten one of the most basic necessities.

I never saw it as bullying because I never saw it as targeted specifically at me and me only. It happened to a lot of people. I mean is getting catcalled bullying? Maybe for some, but I just see it as the way things are and it's related to a whole host of bad behavior. I'm just trying to highlight the stupid that went on and the behavior issues at large. Dont deny that this stuff isnt related to bad school results. I see that it goes hand in hand. For a lot of people being poor leads to bad behavior which leads to poor schools. Being poor in itself, unless it prevents you from going to school, doesn't directly cause bad schools. Having no money has nothing to do with not being able to add or subtract numbers, but not giving a cr*p is certainly related.

Stupid crap like this was probably so common, but now things are being recording. Gotta get my laughs in today:
