>Strength, agility, weight, intelligence, creativity and charisma.
These are all characteristics of the culture one is raised with. For example, a chink raised in the ghettoes will behave like a nigger if no one ever tells him he's not.
Beyond that, it also depends on the family you're raised with and how your parents and siblings treat you. Genes do play a role with all these traits, but much less so than you think.
In short, I took trollbait but I don't give a shit.

These are all facts based on comparisons between people of different races in similiar environments. Vietnamese immigrants with nothing but $5 and a suitcase of clothes, study and work hard to become heart surgeons in a decade. Whilst ghetto blacks have all sorts of affirmative action, grants etc yet succeed less proportionately.
How does that prove that I'm wrong? There can be multiple cultures within a country, even within cities. Blacks living in the ghetto are surrounded by their "culture" (lulz) and that pretty much makes them who they are. Blacks raised with a culture that tells them otherwise (such as work hard, study hard, and strive to make yourself better) will do a lot better.
Those Vietnamese you mentioned, they were raised with another culture, you fucktard. They weren't raised by white trash or in the ghettos.
You're either trolling hard, are stupid, or racist.

Wrong, at that point he has already had an opportunity to develop in the environment of Vietnam. >>15 is saying that if a Vietnamese kid was born and raised in the ghetto, he would act black.
Also, you were wrong about the Vietnamese immigrant. The correct answer is that he opens a Pho restaurant.

There is nothing to suggest that differences in culture are substantial enough to generate the statistical anomaly that is propertyless communityless immigrants doing substantially better in their careers, raising children and crime rates than landed black communities. In fact blacks who live in the america are culturally superior as they have had more time to learn and accustomise themselves to American culture.
I have read guns, germs and steel and it is a very informative book. But it is very closed and doesn't address as many issues as it does address. For example the ample opportunity and time for the Chinese and Polynesians to colonise Australia. The race stats provided cover why this was. Curiously I found the author to be obsessed with "blonde blue eyed" people mentionning them several times a chapter as with many other anthroplogists. Also Jared and anthropologists with this trait also leave out instances where people in worse off environments do better than people in better environments and other such anomalies throughout history. I believe you know why. Please admit the reason why to me as I would find it very interesting.

We've reached a point where cultures are much too complex to easily explain why poor immigrants have a higher rate of success in America than blacks (which I still don't believe unless you provide a link to these statistics, there are plenty of successful blacks who grew up in poverty, and I have no reason to believe the success rate is lower than immigrants). Simply saying that the immigrants' cultures are superior to the blacks' is taking the easy way out. There are plenty of other reasons that could apply, such as only the smartest immigrants from their homelands were able to successfully find a way here.
ample opportunity and time for the Chinese and Polynesians to colonise Australia
What do you mean? This is covered in the book, none of them wanted Australia because it is a wasteland where the inhabitants had to regress to hunting and scavenging with extremely basic tools to survive. The only area worthy of colonization, the south-east, was taken by the Europeans when they did find it. There is historical evidence that the Chinese were unaware of the southern areas and had never explored them.
instances where people in worse off environments do better than people in better environments
Examples, please

If culture is too complex to provide proof, then what proof do you have? What do you mean by easy way out? If immigrants tend to have mroe intelligence, after immigration surges why do their children tend to do better? If this is due to genes, it would not be far fetched to assume that the same occurred with the first people to leave Africa and face ice age eurasia.
The tropical regions in Northern Australia have a similiar environment to the rest of oceania. It also has access to rich fishing stocks along it's entire coast. If the Danes could colonise Iceland, in the same position as the Chinese or polynesians they would have colonised the Australian coast at least.
Admit you were wrong please. If this would cause you emotional pain, this means you have a psychological problem and you should also thank me for diagnosing you with one. The first step to solving all our problems is to admit to me that they exist.

What are you talking about? I was asking you to provide proof, dipshit. And you are taking the easy way out by attributing it to genes, when there are tons of other contributing factors.
after immigration surges why do their children tend to do better
I told you to give examples, otherwise you have no support for your argument. Find a reputable source with statistics that show that immigrants' children do better.
they would have colonised the Australian coast at least.
There were Chinese settlements on the northern coast, Europeans came soon after and took over. gb2/history class

I have been very polite with you. I do not respond to people who use profanity.

Explain to me how that is polite.
