YKY, I am sorry you are the victim of racism. Here in the US, Asians on average score higher than whites on IQ and academic tests, have more education, higher income, longer life expectancy (by 5 years), lower crime rates as both perpetrators and victims and lower imprisonment rates. It is the opposite for Blacks. The same pattern is seen in other countries regardless of which race is in the majority or runs the government.
Racism exists between countries too. I have visited about 60 countries and it is everywhere. In the Caribbean, which is mostly Black, the White minority is obviously wealthier and the poorest islands like Haiti have fewer Whites than wealthier islands like Aruba. Hong Kong has the highest life expectancy in the world. China has the fastest growing economy in the world and leads the US in research papers. China's homicide rate is 1/2 the rate of Europe, 1/10 the US, and 1/50 the Caribbean. This is hard to explain. When I look at a US census map I see that every city is divided into White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian sections even though racial discrimination in housing has been illegal since the 1960's. High tech STEM jobs mostly go to Asian and White men even though race and sex discrimination in employment has been illegal since the 1970's and most large companies have published policies that align with the law. College entrance exams used to require higher scores for Asians and lower for Blacks to achieve racial balance, but this policy was banned a few years ago. So why is everyone racist? Why does every country have borders to keep out people who mostly look different or don't speak the language? Why do our friends and neighbors mostly have the same skin color? Why are LLMs racist in spite of our efforts? Why has the decades long effort of the media to portray Whites and Blacks together as if race didn't matter been a failure? Why did school bussing fail? Why did anti discrimination laws fail? Why did DEI fail? Maybe it is actually useful to predict a person's behavior from their appearance. Maybe it is useful to not give children the same legal rights as adults. Maybe it is useful when you have to choose between walking past a group of young Black men or crossing the street to walk past a group of older White women, even though you know your decision is racist. If you want to eliminate racism you must eliminate the cultural and behavioral differences between races that make racism useful. The correct answer is that these differences exist because of discrimination, which has opposite effects on different races, or a history of colonialism or slavery that nobody alive today remembers. The incorrect answer is genetics. Nobody disputes that skin color is inherited. It is somewhat controversial, but still a fact that Blacks of West African descent excel at track and field and some sports like basketball because they have more fast twitch muscle and can run faster and jump higher. But it is forbidden to suggest that there are IQ differences between races, even though we know from adopted twin studies that IQ is mostly inherited. There aren't any recent studies on IQ because social scientists know that if you do a study, your paper will be rejected and you will be denounced as a racist and your work will only be cited by white supremists and your career will be destroyed, like how James Watson, who shared the Nobel prize for his discovery of the structure of DNA, was fired from his position as research director at Cold Springs for suggesting that Blacks have lower IQ because of genetics. I think in the next century we will have a world without war, borders, prisons, or poverty. But that doesn't help you now. I'm sorry that life isn't fair. -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] On Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 10:11 PM YKY (Yan King Yin, 甄景贤) < [email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 29 Sept 2026, 02:02 Matt Mahoney, <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi YKY!
