White people...

Judge someone by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. What you are describing are cultural attributes that are conducive to financial planning and educational attainment, not a systematic framework of oppression meant to keep whites in power and hold the brown man down.

I mean, let's start talking about Asian privilege. They do better than whites at all these things.

A lot of people are way ahead of you on that one.

It's not that blacks are stupider than whites. It's that ghetto culture they have (which makes them stupider than whites). Once they start acting like white people (the superior way to act) things will be fine. There isn't widespread racism anymore -- its just a bunch of people not taking responsibility for themselves. So when you see someone acting black -- don't feel guilty for thinking there stupid -- they are. And it's their stupid culture's fault.

A lot of this shit about Asain kids is true..but taken a little far. Just because its possible that culture can play into student success -- doesn't mean its the best way to understand the differences in student success. Asain kids come from 2 parent households that stress academics their whole life often....should that be every household in America? Is that the standard that were all failures for not meeting?

One of the big reasons Asians do better is because their parent are way more likely to completely support them financially throughout the endeavor. They also have a habit of being the son of a middle class people from their country that are only classified as poor because they just got here. A lot of Asians here didn't come from the bottom of their societies, they came from the middle and are ambitious.

The book I'm working on is probably going to be a big seller based off people like Juris and Lune.

"Free college" is not a popular idea, its populist, but not popular, yet.

I am gathering a lot of good ideas so I hope this discussion goes on for another page. I need more socialist handout input in regards to handing armed thugs and cutthroat rapists access to my son and daughter's college dormitory.

Say no to the 3rd world.

LOL! Clever, but I would carefully consider the argument you are prepping before carrying it to battle.

You look at those raised outside their native culture. There's also plenty of scientific studies demonstrated race doesn't predict IQ -- but I'm hoping no one here is that racist (argue for biological white superiority).

An example would be Burakumin -- a discriminated against minority in Japan. Many people in Japan give racist explanations for their poor statistics in employment, educations etc.

But sure enough, when they come here they do as well as any Japanese student.

Edit: this post was mostly addressing how to seperate race from culture. As far as seperating racial discrimination from cultural discrimination...I'd have to think on it but it's probably difficult. That was kind of my point.

Is there anything useful that can be done with this?

Well I'd say it was pretty useful to prove Whites aren't naturally more evolved or smart than blacks. Much different than the old view:

Mostly on topic, a white cop shoots and kills a black person. The liberal media goes crazy with it and makes it a national issue, time after time. Meanwhile, a white cop straight up executes a white male (unarmed) somewhat close to where I live and no one gives two shits.

I more or less stopped watching TV a long while back when it comes to news reporting and racial issues. I could rant about giving a shit about your community, raising your kids right, and praising education and striving for intellectual excellence as opposed to embracing a culture of educational compromise and idol worship of sports figures. But that wouldn't be a productive rant since people are more comfortable having someone else to blame.
