BTW, that reasoning still sounds racist to me. If I lived in Brownsville, and some white people wanted to open up a coffee shop, but I protested because whites are higher I.Q. and snobbier as a result, then people would have a fit.I think only a handful of people, especially white liberals, are consciously thinking about IQ, even those that are NIMBY to black establishments. They are thinking about the typical behavior of those that embrace the hip-hop culture; it just so happen that those tend to be low IQ (and more dangerous) blacks. People rail against the behaviors associated with low IQ people and most don't that realize that said people have those behaviors because they have low IQ's. Then there is plain old xenophobia -- common to all people. All people prefer their own "kind", and that would be what the scenario describe is an example of. Also, who the hell are they to judge my individual character based on the fact that I didn't go to college, or that I graduated later than the government says I'm supposed to. Judging anyone on that fact alone, except in the cases when the circumstances warrant it (it's a fair judgment if you were looking out for someone to get medical advice from...) is a foolish way of assessing people. If anyone were to judge a person that way (without any other behaviors back it up), it just means that the judging person is a snobbish prick, that's all. |
