Racism

This is a tough one - difficult not to offend anyone - but some things need to be told. With that said, I would like to outline my views on the subject, unfiltered by self-censorship.

The prevalent view in academia is that all races are equal, in the sense that they have equal “value”. This may be correct, depending on how you define “value”; and if you define value as having specific outcomes, then there are huge differences.

Consider economic development (per-capita income) for example. Most of Asia, Europe, the Slavic states and North America are considered “developed”. African countries, South and Central America, and much of the Middle East, are lagging behind in that respect; we refer to them as “developing countries”. Citizens of those countries generally have a “good” life: reasonable work hours and sufficient income to be able to afford comfortable living accommodations, enough to eat, and a fair amount of leisure time. They have a decent “standard of living”, which translates to a high per-capita income. The others have low per-capita income and generally struggle just to survive. So we can look at “standard of living” as our criteria to determine which races, or cultures, lead to the best outcome. So the question is: Why?
