You have taken behavioral genetics to uncharted waters.
You said that the stuff was pseudoscience and I was agreeing with you. Can you explain specifically what you mean?

All the proof is in the post. You presented some old study by some dead scientists presenting it in a way to make people think that a black and a white are more genetically similar to each other than that white is to another white which is hogwash and anybody with an ounce of common sense realizes it. Also that same study your source was based off of was set straight on page 94 of this thread and if you don't want to accept it then that's up to you.

The official notice foreshadows the day, expected in the 2040s, when non-Hispanic whites - like the group that founded America - will be in the minority.BBC News - What will a white-minority US look like?

So could it mean the Spanish speaking minority would assimilate and would much more commonly use English rather than Spanish? In addition would there soon be a Hispanic president?

Plus would the culture of the US be similiar today as in 50 years time?

PS: No racist comments here please.
Just caught this gem....well, seeing how 74% of the United States is White, I'd say the village people 2.0 have a long, long way to go......break it down.....315 known Americans, roughly 50 million of which are of Hispanic origin, 20 million of African descent,Asian and Hindi and Eskimo are rounding errors. And the rest? Drum roll.....230 million are Caucasian......I know, let that sink in a bit......

So, said another way, 3 out of 4 are white. The race the other one out of four love to hate. Ironically, it's liberal whites that carried you in...that and soon to be the remaining unemployed union workers....without them the minority races wouldn't stand a chance on election night....I know, put the gun down and quit kicking the dog for a minute.....

Soooooo, despite Chris Matthews suck up to African American tour, America is still 74% white. And the way the media tells it you would think it were reverse.....so, the village people 2.0 will have to wait awhile longer. Here's the other thing, as minority races climb, they tend to have LESS kids as they, like whites, would rather have the money, vacations and other entrapments of a rich society.

Look it up. That means for every white kid that is downloaded by a white woman, the other races have to download exponentially more. Now we know there are some who have a big head start but, there just aren't enough rappers for all dem kids.

11 kids and 9 baby moms....please......

I know what an allele is. It is an alternative of the same gene. Some alleles result in phenotypic traits, but many variations at the genetic level result in little or no observable variation.

You have taken behavioral genetics to uncharted waters. Pedal your crap elsewhere.
I just said genetics had nothing to do with it. In fact, a few studies have shown that genetics isn't a factor.
