    There are so many factors that come into play, that just shoving a map under someone's face and say "well everything is clear now" just doesn't work.
    No denial there, but there can't also be denied that by western standards Marrocan youth who were born an bred here are basicly retarded, the difference in IQ-levels between native Dutch and North-Africans is huge. The average native Dutch has an IQ of 107, the average north-african has an IQ of 78. That could be atributed to not knowing the language very well, but an IQ test is mostly maths, and the scores are dramaticaly bad. It wouldn't be a lie to say that most are retarded. Forgive me for puting it that way, I am not out for getting as much infaction-points as possible, but you know it's true. That never argues against social-economic factors, as they are from poor regions and it would probably take hundreds of years of development to take into the equation to claim it's racial, but it IS where we are right now. They have had three generations to improve by now, but they are still way behind in just about everything.

    Edit, needs adition. Take the Chinese, the Chinese immigrants from the fifties still hardly speak Dutch, for them it isn't really needed, almost all their offspring end up on universities and beat us in Starcraft. They have the same difficulties from the go but easily outperform native Dutchies in just about everything.
