For people who are too lazy or too stupid to learn mathematics, accepting that mathematics has practical value and utility would force them to admit that their own laziness or stupidity contributes to their inferior economic status. Instead, many accuse “the man” of using mathematics as a shibboleth, a meaningless test, to discriminate against them.
Similarly good, clear writing and vocal expression using standard English facilitates communication which is essential to smooth function of a society. If everyone speaks his or her own language and uses his or her syntax and vocabulary, Babel ensues. Rather than accept this, they attack standard English as another meaningless shibboleth.
Try designing a cellphone or a cellphone network using Ebonic math or writing technical manuals in Ebonics.
“Though not quite the same, as they admitted they had proved themselves wrong, the left is very much like this. They will never admit anything they believe is wrong, to do so would mean they would have to look at all their beliefs which may also be wrong, they never will and their responses to facts are always the same racist, nazi ,some sort of phobic…… ‘
The cause of the racial dysphoria we’re living in, is the widespread false belief/assumption that “all races on AVERAGE are the same”, even when the vast preponderance of evidence tells us otherwise. That false assumption is the rationale behind shoving DIE down our throat. It’s cognitive dissonance at a societal level.
Even many conservatives, sadly, will spout that nonsense out of fear of being labeled racists.
“I’m having a hard time with it, but I think with a little effort I can soon come to love Big Brother.”
The most dispiriting part of “1984” (and “Brave New World” as well) is that in the end, Big Brother wins!
Part of being "elite", particularly if you're in a "protected class", is that the rules simply do not apply to you. Just ask Hillary, Traitor Joe and Hunter.

Upper Class Twits.
In Crowley’s case (going back to 2000, I think), the university offered her a chance to revise/update/change the thesis.
I’ve never gotten into that level of education (never had the time), but from various conversations with Air Force officers in the situation...it’s a pain to write it, and most hire some professional-secretary to do bulk of correcting after they write the initial draft.
I took a summer semester abroad in Israel. Class full of Ashkenazi Jews.
I went to MIT, back before DEI.
I was decidedly average and felt like the dumbest person in the room.
Made me work harder, though. In fact between sports, the Army, and this class is where I learned to apply myself.
You are correct. But it is not just "races". It is "cultures", as in all cultures are equally "good", except for Western culture, which is unequivocally bad.
This is an obvious false belief, if you accept material prosperity as a good thing, and a society where the vast majority of people have excellent shelter, running water, electricity and access to medicine and transportation as a positive development.
There is a strong correlation between cultures and races. That’s because of the strong correlation between AVERAGE IQ and races.
Culture is downstream of average IQ.
Races with lowest AVERAGE IQ have the worst cultures by any measure.
And that’s easy to explain, if you first define what culture is.
I read a little bit of submitted paper and concluded it was plagiarized. Before reading more, at the next class period I gave the student a chance to bail, and asked him “Are you sure you wrote this?” With his affirmative answer I read the rest. The biggest tell was referring to himself with feminine pronouns. Plagiarism was an automatic F at the Christian university management class.
Culture is downstream of average IQ.
Increased average IQ probably has a hand in the possibility of a "better" culture.
But races with high average IQ have had terrible cultures. Look at the Germans in WWII. Look at the Japanese. Look at the Aztecs at the time of Cortez.
Consider the Spartans.
Of course, the definitional problem remains.
