why do schools compete in the first place. if schools were segregated, would this still continue? and if so why? what is the point in schools competing, whos to say who's intelligent.

@Chaicoffski ", I hate stupid people like yourself" Really my good man U call me stupid yet your the one doing all the name calling. Good day

[jackfire55]

@Chaicoffski " Blonde hair is gross" Really my good man. if it is so gross why do around 90% of rich black male go out with whites? And Name calling really good man. I do not think much of u. But I at less think u can be better than that.

And if u want to know where the hate for white people comes from look up cargo cult.

@Chaicoffski Nature versus nurture debate can go on and on. You are of the opinion that nurture plays a big role, and I agree. But you don't seem to agree with the assertion that there is a natural upper limit to performance too, no matter how good the nurture is. Facts are before you. Your explanation of facts is based on the socioeconomic factor, disregarding any possibility of inherent abilities which seems a little dishonest.

@Chaicoffski Dude I am from a "pal" caste okay, google it. It comes under Garadia caste which means "Sheep herders" which is classified as a backward caste. I am just trying to be a realist here. There is no point in denying the fact that average variations among populations are there and they affect performance. Being politically correct is all well and good but facts speak for themselves.

@Chaicoffski Yes I might be wrong, and maybe all localized segregated populations of the world have evolved to have the same level of intelligence but it seems very unlikely to me. Indians were ruled by Muslim rulers for nearly 800 years, then by the British for another 200 years. And after 1000 years, just 65 years gone India has a space program, a nuclear power, 3 out of 12 science medals in US this year, 9% of US college seats taken up by Indians when they are less than 1% in population.

@Chaicoffski Yes they are my people, and I want them to be better but that does not change facts. Genetic differences arise because intercaste marriages have been prohibited for such a long time and that is a fact. The point is that even socially and economically well positioned "lower" caste people's children still have a huge performance gap. Blaming this on something that these kids have never experienced in their lifetime is not going to cut it.

O. " attaching yourself to whiteness " My good man. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, with a good credit score. So no need for me to go around attaching myself to whiteness, I am as white as they come.

@Chaicoffski My good man, I am obsessed with human evolution, and all the paths all the upright walking primates have took, I read reports on everything. Like did u know white people kill themselfs at a far high rate than blacks, or that asians have 6 times the gambling addiction of whites. As far as what do I do, I strip, model, break dance, I have a lil airsoft shop and much more O. " attaching yourself to whiteness " My good man. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, with a good credit score,
