public policy and the bell curve (1.00 / 1) (#34)
by diogenes on Sun Nov 11, 2007 at 01:40:28 PM EST
Do you see the point?  If differences in math ability are inherited and slightly different across races, for example, then we won't impose "Asian quotas" to keep Asians out of MIT or affirmative action programs to allow Japanese-Americans into the NBA.  An average IQ difference of 5 points means little to most people in their lives but will make a big difference at the end of the bell curve.
If it's really true that Asian kids do better because of some sort of " cultural family values", then please define them and inculcate them into white and black families instead of preaching the dogmas of victimization, affirmative action, and multiculturality.  

Please define them? (5.00 / 1) (#35)

It's been done. Please read the comments instead of trying to twist them to pretend that anyone here is "preaching the dogmas".

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I try.

I wasn't refering to you, although a little sharpening is never a bad thing for all of us.

I just though I'd try this "trolling" and "meaning twisting" thing to see what it felt like.

It felt rather stupid, truthfully.... :-)

Can be humiliating sometimes, especially when you put yourself in the shoes of a racially superior idiot.
