Canada - celebrate diversity
Europe - celebrate diversity
Japan - They don't tell the Japanese they are too Asian and that they need more White/Black/Hispanic/Arabs in Japan.
You don't see celebrate diversity in Africa or in Asia. There's no money to be made in Africa.Comment -

#40Asians are just as talented and athletic in many sports as blacks or other races. The fact that so many Asian countries are so good in Little League baseball proves this. If all else being equal....size, experience and the ability to learn something new (like a sport) the Asians excel more than their Causcasian or other ethnic counterparts.
But once puberty and other aspects of life and culture kick in....well then unless you are 6'6" Asian with mad leaping skills like a Shawn Kemp or a Vince Carter chances are you'll be an accountant in the next 7-8 years.
Asian people by nature don't grow as big or as strong as black or country bred white boys do. It's not their fault they are actually more evolutionarily advanced from a human and reproductive stand point when compared to other races.Comment -

#42Maybe they come from 2 parent house holds and Asian parents don't raise their kids like hood rats. I read a story in the news that 1/2 Asian kids are applying to college as "white" now because whites have lower scores and it's easier to get into a top college being "white" than being a minority asian because Asian scores are higher and they have quotas.
I found an excerpt from the book where I heard the theory. It explains it much better than I did although I wasn't too far off. http://www.gladwell.com/outliers/outliers_excerpt3.htmlComment -

Why do American kids of Asian decent score higher than White/Hispanic/ African American Americans?
Look at the other top countries on your list and look at the scores in America a diverse country? How come the scores in America mirror the rest of the world? Asian Americnas have the highest scores and so do Asian Countries? Then Europeans etc.
Of course that doesn't fit into the PC story that everybody is all equal on everything.Comment -

I just gave you the answer in my last post above. As a human species they are more evolutionary advanced than any other ethnic human race. You can see it physically....they are more slender, lighter, smaller,more fit internally health wise and more cerebral than their European counterparts.
Also which races looks least like our ancestors the monkeys? Asians....blacks still resemble gorillas the most.Comment -

There is alot of math involved in construction and alot of blue collar jobs as well that are needed to run a society. A good work ethic and a willingness to work should be taken into account into anything, society can't run on great test scores and sickly nerds. Alot of these mexican immigrants are incredible workers, I see it on a daily basis.Comment -

#51I have nothing but the greatest respect for the discipline and the culture of the japanese and alot of asian cultures, look at the low crime rates and the disciplined culture in Japan. But test scores in high school doesnt always translate to the everyday occupations needed to run a society. The immigrants from Mexico, at least in my day to day life, are some of the hardest working people I have ever met. I have never seen a mexican immigrant begging for money on a roadside or going on ssi/disability/welfare, etc. Maybe after a few generations of being being in the US you see the crime,gangs and sloth take hold among some, but most are incredible workers.

I am from the South so maybe the stats are different in California, but I just have never seen these guys on the side of the road begging, that begging shit fills me with rage. These mexican immigrants work and work and work, very hard labor jobs in some cases and they want more work on the weekend. How are you going to run a society on cubicle/ computer types who cant handle hard labor?Comment -

How are you going to run a society on cubicle/ computer types who cant handle hard labor?[/QUOTE Steven A. Camarota is the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Thirteen years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed households (legal and illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one welfare program continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes —not their legal status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare programs examined in this report include cash assistance, food assistance, Medicaid, and public and subsidized housing.
Among the findings:
In 2009 (based on data collected in 2010), 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal and illegal) with children (under 18) used at least one welfare program, compared to 39 percent for native households with children.
Immigrant households’ use of welfare tends to be much higher than natives for food assistance programs and Medicaid. Their use of cash and housing programs tends to be similar to native households.
A large share of the welfare used by immigrant households with children is received on behalf of their U.S.-born children, who are American citizens. But even households with children comprised entirely of immigrants (no U.S.-born children) still had a welfare use rate of 56 percent in 2009.
Immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, even before the current recession. In 2001, 50 percent of all immigrant households with children used at least one welfare program, compared to 32 percent for natives.
Households with children with the highest welfare use rates are those headed by immigrants from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (75 percent), and Ecuador (70 percent). Those with the lowest use rates are from the United Kingdom (7 percent), India (19 percent), Canada (23 percent), and Korea (25 percent).
The states where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62 percent); Texas, California, and New York (61 percent); Pennsylvania (59 percent); Minnesota and Oregon (56 percent); and Colorado (55 percent).
We estimate that 52 percent of households with children headed by legal immigrants used at least one welfare program in 2009, compared to 71 percent for illegal immigrant households with children. Illegal immigrants generally receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children.
Illegal immigrant households with children primarily use food assistance and Medicaid, making almost no use of cash or housing assistance. In contrast, legal immigrant households tend to have relatively high use rates for every type of program.
High welfare use by immigrant-headed households with children is partly explained by the low education level of many immigrants. Of households headed by an immigrant who has not graduated high school, 80 percent access the welfare system, compared to 25 percent for those headed by an immigrant who has at least a bachelor’s degree.
An unwillingness to work is not the reason immigrant welfare use is high. The vast majority (95 percent) of immigrant households with children had at least one worker in 2009. But their low education levels mean that more than half of these working immigrant households with children still accessed the welfare system during 2009.
If we exclude the primary refugee-sending countries, the share of immigrant households with children using at least one welfare program is still 57 percent.
Welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents. In 2009, 60 percent of households with children headed by an immigrant who arrived in 2000 or later used at least one welfare program; for households headed by immigrants who arrived before 2000 it was 55 percent.
For all households (those with and without children), the use rates were 37 percent for households headed by immigrants and 22 percent for those headed by natives.

Yeah look at all the riches in Africa. Look at all the poor North Americans moving there to live a better life. The only people making money in Africa are the politicans who take all the AID money and keep it themselves. It's not even debate-able that it's the worst continent to live on including Antarctica.Comment
