In your case? Nope.

Please. Don’t flatter yourself. It’s much more likely that I’m doing much better than you because I worked harder, made better decisions, and have common sense.

What science did I deny? Get your emotions out of it. I acknowledged the science in the first damn post I made.

I’m asking about your nefarious intentions. Lay them out.

If your family has been here generations you are genetically part European. Why deny this science?

To VictorianPunk's point, we are often more alike then we know.

Of course, it does. It exists everywhere. A race is a group of people, animals, or plants connected by common descent or origin. No scientist would ever deny that something so simple and straightforward exists.

Get back to the topic and stop worrying about my genetic makeup.

Okay, Captain Literalism: race is not a concept in NATURAL SCIENCE. Happy now?

Science would never deny ETHNIC GROUPS exist, but scientists only use the term "race" sparingly because they know, as I said, that the concept most of us have of "race" is completely false.

A Finnish person is further removed from a French man than a French man is from a Chadian.

Hence, the idea of "white, black, Asian" races has no scientific basis.

Eliminating racial gaps is the holy grail of education. If you know how to do it, why aren't you already rich and famous?

We are headed in the opposite direction, away from colorblindness and toward more emphasis on group identity.

Holy grail of education? That’s laughable.

People who never taught a classroom a day in their life (more specifically, highly paid corporate stooges) get to be deciders of what happens in teaching.

This is the education industry today.

At best, that’s all you need to know.

Science offers evidence. You attacked a group of people as riding coattails without offering anything to back up your claim.




I offered 2 pieces of evidence...IQ scores by state and a survey done by Movoto not the Daily Mail of state by state reading comprehension to show that Wyoming, North Dakota, and Montana are pretty darn comparable to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine.
