Biology of Race

The whites would still oppress them. Because the West is mostly white, and we know that the West is all evil imperialists(sarc).

The reason some races do better or worse in school is 100% culture. Have you ever been around Asian parents? They literally scream at and threaten their kids over grades. The suicide rate among Japanese kids is the highest in the world. They go from school to 2-3 hours of tutoring. Go home, eat dinner. Do homework for 2 hours. Bed. They have tests in 8th grade… low scores mean no high school for you. That’s it. It’s a mindset thing.

If that’s the case how do you transfer culture wholesale? Not a handful but to millions?

Here is a picture of a European with African pygmies. Do you honestly believe a country full of Pygmies could support and maintain something like a Jeffersonian Democracy?

Seriously? There’s only about, oh I dunno say a million complicating reasons that differences in outlook and culture exist.

Also, yes that IS the case pertaining to Japanese youths and education

Yes, as long as stepstools were provided in the voting booths so they could reach the buttons.

You don’t. You can’t dictate culture to another group. If some group of overlord Asians approached whites and said “you need to make your children study 5 hours per day after school.” Whites would flip them the bird.

So we can’t say to blacks in Chicago “stop raising murderers.” That’s not going to be effective.

Any answer to this?

Then it’s irrelevant if it’s culture and not genetics because you can’t change things regardless?

Culture can be changed from the inside of a group. But it has to be grass roots and native (forgive the phrase).

In the past religion was a damn effective means of making a populace cohesive and compliant. You had rock solid binary morals you could point to. “X is bad” “y is good” But that ship has sailed In the US.

I cannot like that post enough. You beat me to it. If I’m ever in LA I owe you a beer for that one.

@therajraj, stop and think a moment. Surely you’re not suggesting that cultures can’t/don’t change?

It would be my honor, sir.

Not particularly with very low iq societies like African bushmen or pygmies.

How’s the British impact on India?

No. Culture is changeable. Culture evolves and changes within geographic regions.

Disagree. The reason is that plenty of nations have exported their cultures over the centuries and millennia. Romans outright stole from Greeks, The Romans left their cultural imprints far and wide and they survive millenia after they died as an empire, as did the Khanate, the Mugals, and the Brits. In fact each of these individual cultures also evolved over time, and changed significantly–in many ways one can attribute cultural changes to influencing the fall of civilizations.

It happens slower than we would like, but it happens. And in the modern world it is happening faster than it ever has before in certain senses. That being said, of course you are right that any change from inside a group has to be persistent and grass roots.

How’s your bush IQ?

India Still has modern slavery, one of the worst latrines to human ratios and in general many cultural practices that would make a white British man scream.

I know we are here to hash out your worldviews but in my world view pygmies have an iq of 53.

That’s on par with a person with down syndrome in America.

How on earth did you arrive at that number? Surely no one created and validated an IQ test specifically for the Pygmies.

BTW, before you start tossing the term IQ around: If you think gender and race are controversial and slippery topics, just wait until we 1) attempt to define intelligence; 2) once defined, try to measure/quantify it; then 3) upon being measured, try to apportion it into innate/biological vs socio-cultural components. Race and gender are easy-peasy by comparison.
