Miranda 14's Comments
I live in Corpus. It's the second dumbest city in America.

Also, that sign is just stupid and offensive.

Plus, the word "minority" in reference to Latinos, Blacks, women, homosexuals, etc... doesn't refer to the NUMBER of people but how much socio political power they have. So even though whites might be a "minority" at 47% they will never be a minority in terms of socio-political and economic power.

Hispanics, who are actually considered Caucasian, consistently score way below the average in national standardized tests, African Americans coming in second to last, followed by Non-Hispanic whites and then Asian immigrants. After about three generations in America, Asians begin to have scores consistent with average test scores in America.
Ok, so what does this mean? You have an ethnic group of white people who score lower than anybody else, black people, then "whites" then Asians until they have been in America for three generations? Doesn't that suggest that discrepancies on how "races" score on tests can be at least partially explained by socialization and culture?
Or what about when European (white) students are given tests from America and they score much higher on these exams than Americans, who are mostly of white and European ancestry?
I don't think we can really make statements suggesting that one race is dumb for genetic reasons without first completely understanding genetics. After all, Watson didn't use genetic research or information to form his opinion, he used conditions in society to form that opinion, and society is not free of racism - so how can we EVER know if black people as a whole could perform equally to white people when they were legally denied access to everything white Americans have had until 1960?

It's surprising to me that people thought this was photoshopped but I guess one has to experience the insanity of Corpus Christi to really believe it.
