Differences between the performance by various ethnicities in the US are down to differences in culture.
How do we know this? By the very fact that there are such differences as between, at the top, Indian-Americans, and at the bottom African-Americans. And this is reinforced by what I’ve added in to the above chart: Nigerian Americans. That is, people who have come to America from Nigeria. They perform better than their African-American cousins and better than White-Americans. Nothing much but culture can explain that.
Barack Obama tackled the problems with the prevailing Black American culture issue a while back. But he was hammered for it. Even he, Saint Barack. He gave up and turned back to the Main Narrative, the Acceptable Narrative, which is one of victimhood and racism. Pity.
Greg Foreman, creator of the Black Conservative Perspective tackles it in his latest video, here.
I remember seeing a graduation ceremony at a mixed race high school. When kids from non-Black groups got a prize, everyone cheered and clapped. When a Black American kid got a prize, they were booed by their classmates.
Someone once described the difference in cultures as: some cultures are like a hot air balloon and pull people up (thinking Asian). Some cultures are like a brick and hold you down (thinkingr Black American). Greg talks of Black Americans who are mocked if they speak “normal”, ie, not of the hood, with normal grammar and accent. He decries this. Rightly.
He also has a hard go at the rapping community. Rightly, I think. Surely there’s a connection between rapping murder and the high murder rate in the Black community. And rapping the fun of shoplifting, and the looting that goes on every time there’s a demo against a Black kid killed by a white police person.
