Could have just as easily been our Congressmen and Senators fighting for more HB1 visas for more Nigerians, and Congolese tech workers.
That's true about Indians that were once at the bottom of the caste. It has mostly to do with environment and conditioning.
The early 2000's outsourcing effort could have just as easily went to Africa.
Word of the day Patrick: Akata
Contrary to popular opinion among non-Yorubas and some Nigerians or Africans who does not understand this word, akata does not mean coton picker or slave and it is not derogatory.
The term is falsely believed to be a derogatory term used by Yoruba Nigerians and other West Africans to refer to a black person or Yoruba person who is born in the United States or a black person who was born somewhere other than Africa.
Akata is a Yoruba word that means "wild animal" and is contextually applied to Black Americans. This piece discusses why that is problematic and why we should not claim the term.
The Igbo may have realized a good environment for their tribes by ensuring prosperity and peace through fair and transparent governance. That then has an effect on the population, and results in continuous improvement and productivity gains from one generation to the next.
It's culture, low caste Indians were once considered the lowest IQ people on the planet. Because all they were used for was hard manual slave labor.
Today they are running every IT department in the world.
The early 2000's outsourcing effort could have just as easily went to Africa. Bill Gates would have sent the knowledge base there instead of India.

Word of the day @Patrick: Akata
From Yoruba (one of the high IQ African Groups) meaning Alley or Undomesticated Cat; mischevious never-do-well.
West African immigrants warn their kids not to hang with Akatas, listen to Akata Music, dress like an Akata.
I think you can guess that Akata is not used to refer to Vietnamese, Midwestern Whites, or Jews.
Also, mercantile groups have pressure to increase their IQ relative to the outside groups they sell to, for the same reason that predators are typically much smarter than their prey. They need to be smarter in order to eat. I'd expect the Igbo are merchants with a long history of selling to their neighbors, but I don't know that for sure.
Or, a long history of selling their neighbors. This wiki entry lets slip that Igbo have a tradition of enslaving other ethnic groups
Lot of IQ tests are in English, gives native English speaker advantage.
Today they are running every IT department in the world.
most blacks are depressingly low on the IQ scale
Patrick saysmost blacks are depressingly low on the IQ scale
"most ?"
And yet if I say I think you're a racist, I deserve to be "punched in the face."
I will l point out that 70% of the players in the NFL are Black, is that "racist."
Hispanics are starting to dominate pro baseball?
That may be, but we are all individuals, and collectivist measures really have no meaning.
I've never heard anyone praising the fact that so much manufacturing is done in China, as if there is absolutely no downside for the US. Not NPR, not NYT, no liberals I have ever heard referring to constructive realistic rational discussion of this topic as racist.
I find the argument that preventing immigrants from being here for the lowest income jobs, is good for our economy or for working peoples wages in general to be somewhat delusional. Inflationary yes. It would be paid for by middle class, and their wages might go up just enough to cover it, but not likely.
So much fucking dishonesty.
Consider that the press suddenly refused to refer to the Wuhan Virus as the Wuhan Virus shortly after all this started
The whole economy benefits when the poor get richer.

Consider that the press suddenly refused to refer to the Wuhan Virus as the Wuhan Virus shortly after all this started, after using that very phrase. Why is that? Who told them to stop? We were suddenly told "Oh, it's RACIST!" to refer correctly to the origin of the virus, as is common practice otherwise. (Ebola, Zika, Spanish Flu, etc)
Are there any traditional expressions of pride in America which are not automatically smeared as "racist" by the press? We have been so conditioned by the press that even putting up an American flag can be considered "racist" these days. Why? Who benefits from indoctrination against ...

India and SE Asia mess up that otherwise tidy inverse relationship.

The weird thing: most blacks are depressingly low on the IQ scale, except one group: the Igbo of Nigeria.
The Igbo are so far above other blacks that they are above whites and Asians too. The Igbo seem to be genetically about the smartest people on earth. Would be interesting to compare their test results to those of Jews.
