We have the same job.

Her kids score below standard on national tests and she has a lot of unruly pupils.

My kids score WELL above standard and I have the only class without a single pupil sent to the principal.

Is it just because I have a good class? Probably not, as the results were the same with the class before... And before that...



Now, I earn more than her. By quite some.

Is it because:

A) She is arab and I am white.
B) She is a woman and I am a male.
C) She doesn't do as good a job as I.

Hmmm, tricky question, no?
That doesn't mean anything except that you're better than her. I'm not arguing that every individual is equally good at every job.

My point is, we can't just look at figures and say "blacks earn less than they should".

How come it's so hard for you to even have the IDEA that they might earn less because they do a less good job? As have been mentioned over and over again in this thread: IF blacks did a comparable job for lower salary, for sure companies on a free market would jump on the chance!!

Yet they don't... Why?

Oh yes... "racism"....

I ask again: Can you separate racism from life experience?

I was very immigrant friendly growing up, in my teens, and in my very early twenties... HOWEVER, life experience has made me think less of Africans generally. Why? Because they so often have let me down, in various situations.
Because life experience is poor substitute for big picture.

Throw in some blacks with no history of working together, with cultural clashes left and right, and yes... You will see "racism" rise.

I ask again though, what's life experience and what's racism? Again, I have started to frown on blacks in western society because of what I have experienced by being around blacks... NOT because I was raised that way or taught that way.

On the contrary, my whole family and general workplace more or less look for the tar and feathers whenever immigration gets mentioned in anything but positive ways.

I for one would SURELY hire a swede before a black if they had equal qualifications
. Why? Because the swedish person have an extra benefit: Me assuming he will act in accordance with our culture when hard times come.
And this here children, is the example of racism, which gives you an answer to your question why companies don't hire black people to lower cost.


About IQ... Yes IQ isn't the same as academic ability... With that said, there is a STRONG connection between the two. Also tests have been done to the genetical levels... And know what, when they checked what genes make people excel in school, it exactly corresponded with the results of IQ tests...

Asians being the smartest, whites in the middle, blacks in the far back end of the scale.

So yes, even though IQ in and of itself isn't enough to get a clear picture, we still HAVE the complete picture.
Entire point of racial IQ fails so hard when you take into account that black people scoring higher on IQ as they're getting more access to higher and better education. So, either they've improved genetically in one or two generations, or the idea how certain "races" have lower or higher IQ needs to be put to rest.

WHITES. ARE. NOT. AS. INTELLIGENT. AS. EAST. ASIANS.
Bollox.

I can take that fact, I have no problem with that fact.

But DARE say anything realistic about blacks, and the "nazi" baseball bat will hit you at once, from well meaning but utterly stupid people.
Realistic meaning racist in this case.
