IQ, Crime, Nobel Prizes, And Immigration: The Diversity That Is Destroying Western Civilization

Sometimes data or information that seems completely disconnected can tell a story when taken together. I experienced that recently. Over the course of a few days I saw a number of posts on X that caught my attention. First was a post stating that “Whites make up only 8% of the world’s population… so in fact, we are the minority.” That 8% is down from a peak of approximately 25% in the 19th century.

Next I saw a post that featured a map of the world and showed the average IQ of the citizens. Hong Kong had the highest, with 107.7 while Somalia had the lowest 83.8. Both nations are largely homogeneous while the very diverse United States comes in at 101. Generally sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest scores while eastern Asia has the highest.

Then I saw a post about Denmark and who commits crimes based on their nation of origin. The data wasn’t pretty. In every category from rape to attempted murder and everything in between, foreigners were far more likely to be the perpetrators than Danes. Rape gives you an idea of exactly how the data played out: Somalis were 20x more likely to commit rapes than Danes. Syrians, 16x, Palestinians, 12x, Afghans, 11x, and Iraqis, 9x. Somalis were 27x more likely to attempt to commit murder as well.

Then finally I saw a post that listed Nobel Prize winners by nationality. The United States had by far the most, with 425, followed in second place by the U.K. with 114. Of the 15 nations with the highest number of prizes, only one, Japan at #7 with 33, is the only one not from a largely white western nation. Of the one thousand or so prizes awarded since 1901, approximately 85% went to white males,

The globalists seem to be taking people from the worst countries and settling them in the best countries. Somehow I do not think they are doing this to help the best countries. Dependence seems to be the goal.

[Jonty30]

Correction.
They are not just taking people, they are taking the worst of the people from the worst countries and inserting them into the West.

[MtnClimber]

they are taking the worst of the people from the worst countries

Maybe that is why countries that used to have an average IQ of around 65 are now shown at around 83.

Way back when people actually knew something about history, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was considered an object lesson. Although everyone in the empire was European, it was still a hodge-podge — Germans, Czechs, Croats, Serbs, Hungarians, Bosnians, and a lot more. Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews. It was everything and everyone. And it didn’t work. The diversity worked against the whole thing and it all fell apart — but not before contributing to the start of WWI.

Diversity is bad. Always.

The United States worked (for awhile) because it didn’t really accept diversity. Everyone could come here, but they were expected to assimilate. Start off as an Italian or a Pole, but either you or your children were going to become American, and speak English and say the pledge of allegiance and sing the American national anthem. That was the deal. The diversity of new immigrants was very temporary because in the end we were all 100% American. And the rough definition of “American” would move over time, but we would all move a little with it — George Washington would not have said that pizza was a classic “American” food, but today I think everyone would recognize it as a cornerstone of the American diet.

I remember years ago when the school systems very consciously and deliberately abandoned the old “melting pot” metaphor — American was (they now said) a salad bowl with many distinct and discrete ingredients which worked together by providing a diversity of flavors. That was really the beginning of the end. That old “melting pot” metaphor was far better and it built a great nation. Which we are on the verge of losing.

[FrogMom]

Wait. What? I saw a post on X by a black woman just yesterday, telling me that black people had invented or built everything of value in the last 2000 years and we, white America, should be honored to pay them reparations.

white males

I make no apology for being one.

As far as Nobel prizes, you could point out that East Asia developed much later than the West and that therefore its hardly a surprise they would not have been at the cutting edge of science and thus would not have won nearly as many nobel prizes in the past. That said, I have no doubts as to the average intelligence of East Asians. They're quite intelligent. I cannot say the same about especially sub Saharan Africans or many middle eastern or central Asian muslims. Generation after generation of cousin marriage tends to drive down average IQ scores and result in far more birth defects.

As for women....which sex tends to be much more susceptible to social pressure and which sex is more likely to rebel and more likely to take big risks? Plenty of risk takers crash and burn but a few succeed brilliantly. Men tend to be at both ends of the spectrum in most things - both positive and negative - while women tend to cluster toward the middle.

*jumps into lefty-liberal contrarian suit*

Why are you making value judgements about nobel prizes?

Everyone knows that ‘intelligence quotients’ were a white cultural construct to support the old boys network.

Let’s not bicker and squabble over who invented what.

[FLT-bird]

Yes. It would be one thing if we SCREENED people from the most backward countries and took only the best and brightest. (there are plenty of absolutely brilliant Indians and for that matter, there are some very bright and highly educated Africans....some of whom have done very well in the US). What you absolutely do not want to do however is take in vast uneducated, backward, savage, hordes from these places without bothering to check who the hell they are. The absolute last people on earth you want to take in are hordes of unvetted military age males from such places.

Now ask yourself whom have the globalist elites seen fit to flood Western countries with?

[arthurus]

The reason the cultural West does better than the higher IQ East Asia is free market capitalism which gives rise to Innovation. Japan is higher than the rest of Asia because it has a work hard culture and market capitalism.. South Korea and Vietnam are rising but both have the strong possibility of relapse and abandoning FMC. Of course the USofA is in the throes of self flagellation and stands a fair chance of collapsing under MarxoIslam.

Quotes from the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees to which the US is still under Trump a party:

Article 31. - Refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge

1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
2. The Contracting States shall not apply to the movements of such refugees restrictions other than those which are necessary and such restrictions shall only be applied until their status in the country is regularized or they obtain admission into another country. The Contracting States shall allow such refugees a reasonable period and all the necessary facilities to obtain admission into another country.

Article 32. - Expulsion

1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.
2. The expulsion of such a refugee shall be only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with due process of law. Except where compelling reasons of national security otherwise require, the refugee shall be allowed to submit evidence to clear himself, and to appeal to and be represented for the purpose before competent authority or a person or persons specially designated by the competent authority.
3. The Contracting States shall allow such a refugee a reasonable period within which to seek legal admission into another country. The Contracting States reserve the right to apply during that period such internal measures as they may deem necessary.

Article 23 - Public relief

The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.

Article 17 - Wage-earning employment
....
2. In any case, restrictive measures imposed on aliens or the employment of aliens for the protection of the national labour market shall not be applied to a refugee...who fulfils one of the following conditions:
(a) He has completed three years’ residence in the country;
....
(c) He has one or more children possessing the nationality of the country of residence.

Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote (and buy AR-15s)]

The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]

1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

****

What does Trump have to do to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention?

Send (or hand deliver) the Secretary-General of the United Nations a letter!

****

Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations:

I, Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, on behalf of the United States, do denounce the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as permitted by Article 44.

Donald J. Trump

The Refugee Convention, the invaders’ red carpet, must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.

It takes a year after receipt for the denunciation to become effective.

Every Nobel prize awarded since Obama is questionable, in my mind.

We used to import workers. Now we import customers. It’s really that simple.

and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.

- Lots of government programs to loot.

- Lots of people to rob and judges that will just release you.

- Lots of women to rape.

- Lots of churches to burn.

Diversity is extremely overrated.

One more reason the corrupt 'press' doesn't hire young white men...

[cymbeline]

“The globalists seem to be taking people ...”

I think it’s because the migrants are looking for a better life. Perhaps the globalists are encouraging the receiving countries to accept them.

[MtnClimber]

The globalist NGOs are recruiting them in-country, with promises of free benefits. These are not “refugees” from persecution.

[Rummyfan]

Recent Nobelists...

Yasir Arafat. Really?!

Rogoberta Menchu for Literature. Turns out her body of autobiographical work was.... all made up.

Obama.... 'nuff said.

Other than for the hard sciences the Nobels have lost all prestige.
