“Trying to force a genetic explanation onto the issue is not in accord with the evidence, although it offers the convenient property of making it easier to claim that if people are disadvantaged it’s their own fault,’’ said Frank Bean, immigration scholar at the University of California at Irvine.

He said he had not read Richwine’s thesis.

“Trying to force a genetic explanation onto the issue is not in accord with the evidence..."

Isn't that what the psychologists did to justify removing homosexuality from the mental illness category?

Richwine neither says that the differences are genetic, nor does he advocate restricting immigration by racial group, nor does he devote his thesis to proving racial superiority.

All he says is that whatever the causr or causes the differences are substantial and they persist multigenerationally. Rather than restrict immigration by racial class, he advocates candidtes be judged as individuals, with those somehow demonstrating a strong general aptitude being admitted. And he doesn’t focus on argents of racial superiority but rather looks at what our immigration policy should be, given the impacts of admitting a population with substantially lower aptitude—which he demonstrates by others’ research is a likely cause of so many immigrants falling in into our dysfunctuonal underclass.
