    Yeah, and remember when "Polish jokes" were so popular? Like, "How many poles does it take to...?" Well, apparently they are redeeming themselves?

    No, they still come to Western Europe to clean bathrooms.

    So did many Polish Americans at first, now they're higher income, have lower rates of poverty, and have higher rates of education than their White American peers as a collective.

    The Polish American median household income was $62,000 vs $56,000 for White Americans.

    The Polish American poverty rate was 7% vs 10% for White Americans.

    37% of Polish Americans held a bachelors degree or higher vs 30% of White Americans.

    The irony is that Liberals came up with the dumb Polak joke, which has no basis in fact.

    No doubt the "dumb blonde" jokes too? I'd really like to have someone explain to me why dumb blonde jokes are apparently not racist? I've never heard an outcry over them.

    But you're not saying it takes more than one to screw in a light bulb are you? :smile:

    That's because there is no debate to solve. The attempts to prove IQ differences based on race are debunked and/or unproven after HUNDREDS of years of attempts to establish such a phenomenon. So many failed attempts, some by people who were supposed to be exceptionally bright ... It doesn't look promising but one can always wish, right? No matter how bizarre the pursuit ...

    Ummmm no.

    One of these days, we will eradicate all forms of Santa Clause from the planet, but for the time being I guess we will just have to keep believing delusions that make us feel better.

    Reality is harsh and rarely makes people feel good--one of these days, you'll just have to deal with it, but believe whatever you want if it makes you feel good.

    Believing something without proof would be delusional but I don't believe in Santa. I also don't believe in the innate racial superiority shibboleth. I'm too smart for such delusions.

    Once you accept that Rushton was a quack you will be on the road to the answer to your question. Until then conversing with you is a waste of time.
