    Blacks raised in affluent families tend to perform less well on mental aptitude tests than whites raised in families that cannot afford that tutoring.

    You do not prove that by asserting it. Credible scientific studies confirm racial differences in average intelligence and behavior, and point to genetic explanations.

    Gene alleles for intelligence and crime have already been discovered, despite sanctions and taboos against looking for them. I am confident that in time scientists will discover that gene alleles for intelligence and crime are found in each of the races, although in different percentages.

    US is diverse because we have long history of importing people we need, like the Nazi rocket scientists we brought in from Germany to work for NASA, who put the man on the moon. Or the ones who designed the nuclear bombs We don't only import scientists, but also athletes, musicians, fruit pickers, construction workers, IT folks from India, doctors etc Oh, and slaves from Africa. Why are people complaining now, when we have been doing it since Day-1? Its the story of the Unites States.

    Asinine DENIALISM with ZERO attempt to discuss the MERITS of the Scientific Study mentioned.

    DNA tests for IQ are coming, but it might not be smart to take one
    Scientists have linked hundreds of genes to intelligence. One psychologist says it’s time to test school kids.

    A year ago, no gene had ever been tied to performance on an IQ test. Since then, more than 500 have, thanks to gene studies involving more than 200,000 test takers. Results from an experiment correlating one million people’s DNA with their academic success are due at any time.

    ----------

    Royal Society of Biology, Crime Genes

    The MAOA gene is X-linked, and these men and others in successive generations all exhibited problem behaviour including impulsive aggression, arson and rape...

    An absence of MAOA function is thought to be extremely rare, but the low activity MAOA variant has been dubbed the ‘warrior gene’. Controversial research has found a high incidence among Maori men (56% in a small study) and this figure was used to explain problems of risk taking behaviour, aggression and violent crime (Lea and Chambers, 2007).

    https://www.rsb.org.uk/biologist-fe...ene is X,impulsive aggression, arson and rape.

    We also import criminals and low IQ people who are becoming increasingly unnecessary as computer technology and automation eliminate jobs those with below average intelligence are able to learn.

    Those findings NEGATE your fallacious assertion.

    FURTHERMORE you have NOT established that the GENE in question has any RACIAL connotation.

    Nothing to see here, move along now.

    Why do you lump all Blacks together but separate Asians? I find that a little odd. Blacks tend to be the most diverse of any race of people. All so called Blacks aren't the same.

    Low income jobs (physical labor) are ones which are not replaced by AI.

    I don't understand how that characterization applies to the data presented.

    Sorry? Which poor, uneducated, criminals or low skilled people do we still need? If we only allowed in who we needed, we wouldn’t be having this discussion because 99.9% of people from our south wouldn’t be allowed in.

    You think we need millions of illegals popping out children so they can get welfare and NOT work? And those that do work, still don’t bother learning English? Is it not amazing that someone living in this country for decades doesn’t bother learning the language? I run into older Latino folks who can’t speak a word. Either they just snuck in or they’re lazy ****s. What value is that sort of diversity? None.

    If you can’t afford to fly in through customs, because you have a job lined up and are preparing to purchase property, we don’t NEED YOU. You’re just wasting resources otherwise.

    On a side note it amuses me that Americans claim the significance of English as if they are the entitled people.
    I might be mistaken but I read somewhere that there was a vote where English only narrowly beat German in becoming the national language in America, which has irony for the anti diversity people because English is probably the most ‘diverse’ actual language spoken and used anywhere.
    So there you have one strong argument for diversity, English being such a flexible language it is happy to absorb words and terms from everywhere.
    As for people living and working on the land claimed by the United States of America and not speaking English, so what? If those people can both live and work then a reasonable assumption is that they are successful users of language whichever one they choose.
    I wonder how many Americans realise that Arabic is one of the most prevalent features of American education.
    I will leave you to work out what is meant by that.

    Some are, and that has been the nature of the beast since the industrial revolution, and yet people are still doing physical labor today.

    All good and fine.
    That means (rightly) that if somebody uses, say, Swahili as their chosen language of daily life, then other Americans should not complain about it, as seemingly Swahili is as legitimate as English

    Why would you complain if someone speaks another language? I hear all kinds of languages all the time, and it doesnt bother me one bit.

    When considering which countries colonized America, this claim does not make a lick of sense. Why would they have chosen German?
