2 people with IQs of 70 don't produce many offspring with IQs of 140.

The Bell Curve is, of course, a curve, but I suspect that if you pinned the 100 point where it was just a few years ago distribution would be no where near symmetrical, the body count on the left side seems to be increasing.

The Professional Minorities can’t stand it that white racism has dwindled to near zero in recent years. They have to publish silly articles like this to try to bait Whitey into resuming racist attitudes - and in turn keep the government cash flowing their way.

In South Korea, there is compulsory military service for all males. A select few are chosen for the KATUSA program (Korean Augmentee to the U.S. Army). It’s a very desirable selection as KATUSA soldiers are assigned to US units, live in US barracks, eat in US mess halls, etc. In other words, lead a much easier life than their counterparts who go to the regular ROK Army.

Needless to say, there is a lot of animus and envy directed to those selected for the program by those who weren’t, and much of that is predicated on class envy. While some time back there was a scandal involving the greasing of palms to get certain people’s sons selected as KATUSAs, as a general rule, one of the biggest criterion is English fluency and proficiency. By and large, those conscripts with parents who emphasized, and could afford quality English classes tended to be selected for the program.

Nothing arcane or mysterious about it….

Successful people passing on success driven habits to their offspring?

I like the comments at the WaPo article. The vast majority are from people who see through the stupidity of the WaPo writer.

Wow, never has the institutional racism inherent in our education system been clearer....not.

This is a perfect example if they wanted to make an updated version of one of my favorite books - “How To Lie with Statistics” by Darrell Huff (copyright 1954).
