Can you see the danger though of the strict environmental position that assumes that differences are all due to discrimination or unfairness? This is what lead to the Armenian Jews & Chinese in Malaysia being persecuted. Individual rights need to apply, and acknowledging these groups do better (on average, there is overlap amongst groups) does not mean otherwise.

By ignoring these factors, we risk demonising successful groups, as happened to the Armenian Jews or Jews in Germany. Also the Chinese in Mayaysia.

We know in terms of evolution, that groups exposed to different environmental pressures may develop distinct genetic traits. This is clear in athletics.

In terms of academic ability, it is quite clear that Ashkenazi Jews & East Asians, on average, outperform whites.

For example, in Brazil, it is the Japanese who are the highest-achieving group. They were brought in as indentured labourers to work the plantations after slavery was abolished in 1888. Yet, today, the Japanese outscore Whites on IQ tests. Seven studies of Jews in Britain yield a median IQ of 110. In educational achievement, East Asians in Britain also outperform the indigenous Whites. Similarly in Australia, East Asians (mostly Chinese and Vietnamese) average higher than Whites in IQ, educational achievement, and earnings. There are pockets of ethnic Chinese elsewhere in the world such as in Mexico, Argentina, and especially Hawaii, where they also do well.

These results are remarkably consistent over time, place, and situation, irrespective of the original status of the people, or the language, history, and political organization of the country concerned

What if Obama had pleanty of “White Friends” ? What if Obama even knew how to fly a plane? What if Obama lived in Arizona? What if Loki had found Mjolnir?
