Kind of interesting how the housing and student loan bubbles were both caused by initiatives to bring access to minorities. I wonder if that has predictive power.
I feel like there's a blindingly obvious characteristic of Finland/Scandinavian/Western European countries that the U.S. does not share.
Does rejecting a candidate for under-qualification not result in age bias as well?
That's essentially the point; free speech protects the rights of unpopular minorities. Why would a gay Jewish, Muslim, woman want straight white men to enact limitations on their speech?
That would be equally applicable to all types of criminal charges.
Maybe he believes that Japanese people are better judges on average. Traits about populations that concern <100% of their members can still hold utility.
Don't Brazil and South Africa have the same system of healthcare as Switzerland and Sweden? I wonder why they see such different outcomes.
>Also, for many human traits (i.e height), the intra-population variation is much greater than the inter-population variance, especially when controlling for the effect of environment. All this means is that >0 members…
It would, however, mean that the overrepresentation of East Asians among life outcomes that correlate with aptitude in math is not necessarily the result of them oppressing other groups.
>I wonder if conservatives could use their own experiences to develop some much needed empathy for minorities and women in STEM How so? All the things cited as barriers to minorities/women in tech (underrepresentation,…
I'd love to participate in a communal healthcare system, but I don't believe that I have the right to demand that others do the same.
Score on IQ tests is a far better predictor of SES than parental SES. Someone in the 95th percentile for IQ will, on average, earn more than someone with parents in the 95th percentile of earnings. See:…
What metric has better predictive power than IQ?
The first diagram shows whites as being overrepresented by 8 points, but the subsequent diagrams show whites as comprising ~50% of the students at the component schools. The U.S. population is 63% white- wouldn't being…
Isn't the median IQ of blacks and Hispanics below that of the general population? I don't understand why this would be unexpected.
The opposite, actually. Someone did a study on this, NPR puts out about six times as many stories about women as it does about men. http://chrismumford.blogspot.com/2015/12/sexism-at-npr.html
Sorry, can you elaborate? Why is it a problem that there are more black people in basketball?
Doesn't it have a disparate impact on race?

The two positions in the debate are that sex differences are 100% environmental and 0% biological vs. <100% environmental and >0% biological. Nobody believes that they are 100% biological.
What would proper citations look like?
