I am appalled at the open racism here.
Some might say that since Iowa is an overwhelmingly WHITE state (95%), that blacks are not the problem - whites are. And some might say that there are numerous Irish immigrants in Iowa, & Irish are known to be lazy, criminal, drunkards, then it is the Irish in Iowa who are the problem.
But I wont say that! That would be racist!
Where I live there are a lot of Irish that are “the problem”; the WASPs were right to be concerned about letting them in. We tend to serve God rather than Caesar, exactly as they feared we would.
Mentioning the overwhelming dependence of a specific ethnic group is not racism, and is the first step towards helping them out of that dependence. I find it much more racist to inflate grades and award jobs to blacks as though they are mentally impaired and incapable of scoring as well as other ethnic groups; they are being told by their government that that they are inferior due to their genetics.
