[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not SES. It's the race, family support, and simple hard work. Just look at the Asians just arrived here with nothing (i.e., the bottom of SES chart). In 10 years, they are firmly on their way - building wealth, kids performing at high levels, and achieving American dream...etc. [/quote]

I agree that SES plays a huge factor along with the culture one grew up in.  If a parent is an ignoramus, the kid is not off to a good start and proabably will walk in the parent's footsteps.  If the school system could come up with a way of getting the kids of these ignoramuses to reject the ignorant ways of their parents, then some progress might be made.  Another problem is stupid people, and I am not trying to be mean or make light of this.  There are also some very stupid people in this world who have kids with other idiots and their progeny is stupid as well.  I don't see much hope for these people.  Stupidity has absolutely nothing to do with race, by the way.  Stupider people tend to be poorer than smart people.  This is a cycle in some poor communities that I know of-- stupid parents have stupid kids, the kids get pregnant at 13 and have more stupid kids, etc., etc.[/quote]
