I didn't say it was. I said we know for a fact that Dem voters earn less than Republican voters and that intelligence is correlated to income. There is no evidence that those who earn less are more intelligent than those who earn more. The opposite is, in fact, true.

Your link fails to prove your statement.

Look at the political affiliation:

The politics and demographics of food stamp recipients - Pew Research

Also, more low-income earners are Democrats (under $15,000: 63%), and the more own earns, the less likely they are to be a Democrat (over $200,000: 36%). That's why Democrat voters are always wanting more free stuff (single-payer health care, UBI, etc.) paid for by others, of course.

Economic Demographics of Democrats

And, yes, intelligence is correlated to income:

"...by analyzing the slope of the standardized regression line predicting IQ from income, I find evidence that the true correlation between IQ and income (at least in America) is much higher than the 0.23 reported in a 2006 meta-analysis and even higher than the 0.4 correlation asserted by Arthur Jensen, and may even approach 0.5."
The correlation between IQ & income

It's not the GOP voter base that's stupid, despite frequent assertions otherwise (CNN, for example).

Customer should have been shown the door and told they were not welcome back.

Yep. Racist customers are not always right. They can be shown the front door if the business wants to do that.

For some, choosing who is right is linked closely to how well they agree or disagree with one's looks. This goes for both blacks and whites, but blacks usually can't practice such discrimination which would lead to someone else losing their financial wellbeing, because we do not have any real world power, so we are once again back to square one.

Your links and statements do not backup your claim that the poor test results stem from increased political correctness.

Olive Garden was wrong. This employee was put in a very bad situation, should she please a customer, or what ? She tried to do what our companies always tell us, the customer is always right, and she was penalized for it.

I found out years ago, corporation have NO loyalty to their employees, if a customer complains, you are gone. So what was this employee supposed to do ?

Nope, Olive Garden was wrong here. I hope this lady sues the Hell out of them and wins big.

The race card is played by ghouls who cheer for the death of older white people so demographic shifts will allow Democrats to finally win elections. I’m sure you’ve seen that many times on C-D, haven’t you?
