"The Bell Curve" knew what was happining

As I’ve joked before, when I became interested in the quantitative literature on educational achievement in ninth grade in 1972, the racial rankings went:

1. Orientals
2. Caucasians
3. Chicanos
4. Blacks


Today, the order is:

1. Asians
2. Whites
3. Hispanics
4. African-Americans

Your Say

Notice how 42 years changed the rankings.

Next time it will be
1. New rich people to tax
2. Stupid people who had it all and gave it away because of false shame.
3. The 95% of people now populating the former USA

4. The light deprived peoples trying to figure out how to blame slavery on the new rich people so they can soak them.

Whites are second on the Bell Curve, but that's misleading.

Whites have created the modern world not so much because of their intelligence, but rather because they had (note my past tense) a culture with a capacity and desire for action, and a greater willingness than other cultures to apply scientific and technical advances to useful purposes. Less fear of change and an aggressive acquisitiveness, for both good and ill.

What other cultures may have started discovering they then discarded and whites rummaged through those ancient cultural dumpsters to make use of what was discarded by others.

Even the much-vaunted Asians have a great respect for Western culture and the drivers behind that culture. After all, millions of Asian children are learning to play the violin and the piano, rather than the Sheng and the Arhoo. They are now rummaging through our cultural dumpsters.

1972 was my graduating class and I don't believe anyone in that class failed. There were 503 students in that class, 463 white, 40 negro, 0 mexicans, 0 orientals. Negro's had just been introduced into that system about 2-3 years before, prior to that they had their own school. Count em yourself: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~flswphs/Tom_Stewart/c72.htm

Sometimes the negro's had to sit on the buses for hours in order for those in charge to get the numbers to work right so they could keep receiving bribe money from the fed.

I was so glad to get out of that hell hole I left 6 months early. Yes, I graduated, twice.
