Sounds to me like Malthus was right, not wrong:
Malthus was a political economist who was concerned about, what he saw as, the decline of living conditions in nineteenth century England. He blamed this decline on three elements: The overproduction of young; the inability of resources to keep up with the rising human population; and the irresponsibility of the lower classes. To combat this, Malthus suggested the family size of the lower class ought to be regulated such that poor families do not produce more children than they can support.
Talk about political correctness! Malthus was right on target.
Hmmm, sounds just like the inner cities...
Dude is probably right.
