Segregation Returns to US Schools

Yeah, that's obvious. If you grab three random people and compare them to three random people, of course there will be differences.

The point is, you aren't going to be able to make generalizations of any useful sort about those random individuals, or whatever arbitrary grouping you expand from them.

This is such a laughable argument that I should just let it pass. But then, I'm not sure every viewer will get the logical fallacy.

I can for a fact say that Austrians are more likely to own a pair of skis compared to Australians.

I can for a fact say that Somali men are more prone to chew Khat than Swedish men, but then Swedish men are more likely to use snus (snuff) than any other nation in the world.

I am being extremely crystal clear about different ethnic groups tending to act differently in certain situations.

Mead is a fruit drink but it's also the drink of Vikings! I mean seriously, when visiting Denmark one would expect the whole viking theme to be played all over the place. Instead, it's a very peaceful capital with low to no traffic and everyone speaks perfect English. And there is no mead and no "Ye Olde Danish Axe Shoppe".

In fact, the only place in Copenhagen that I heard you can buy mead is a Norwegian gift shop. Humph.

I did see plenty of hot blond girls riding bicycles in mini skirts however. And it was raining sleet like the kind we have here in November. FYI right now it's 30 degrees celcius here.

Oh, when we're going on about stereotypes, here's a question for you:

Why do southern countries in general fail more than northern ones? Are the people more lazy and laid back because of the good weather? Scandinavia, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany are doing awesome. But Spain, Greece, Italy and not to mention the usual suspects like Greece and Bulgaria are doing very poorly. Is it the whole "manana" attitude?

The train in Copenhagen has free wi-fi and I didn't see sharpie drawings of football team names and penises. My mind was blown.

It is actually true that white people don't want to work when the sun is shining.
And by sun is shining I mean the subjective human interpretation, not the scientific fact that it shines all the time.
