Statistics show that many people who are the asian "race" do better in school. You know why? I reckon many people who live by eastern culture prioritise education above many things while the western world has other priorities. I also hear people saying "I have a B+! That's like an asian F!". Well a B+ is above average, who does not want to be above average? Information from statistics is interesting to look at, but it should not be generalised with people around the world.
I can't stand the stereotype saying that African-Americans do badly in school and are mostly in jail. Do you know why this is? It is because the country is still bias and racists about them. I know some people who are African-Americans that clearly defy these stereotype.

Secondly, what is this thing about "race?" All humans are part of the same Genus and species of homo sapien. All humans (well, scientifically) can produce fertile offsprings which clearly states that we are all the same race.

So, how do you all feel about this?

Yeah, I think Asians are better at certain things because they work their butts off, not because they're a certain race. Everyone else is just lazier than them. It's like saying that all Asians are good at karate, they don't come out of the womb doing karate forms or solving advanced math problems.

And about the blacks issue, I believe that these days, there's also a bias for blacks in some areas, for fear of being accused of being racist. That's all fine and dandy, but blacks shouldn't recieve any more presidence over whites than whites should over blacks (which, by the way, is none). And if you're treating them better because they had to "go through slavery," then just stop, because the black people that live now aren't and weren't slaves, and we didn't own them. Our ancestors might have, but you know what? That doesn't matter, we don't have any.

I think if blacks are in jail more than whites, it would probably be because they were brought up in bad places, or there's trauma. I see a lot more white high profile serial killers than I do black ones; does that mean that white people have a greater tendency to become serial killers? Obvious answer: no.

I totally agree with what you're saying about race. We're all humans, right? Who cares whether you're black or white? People need to just get over themselves. :Geist:
