and War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength...Yeah, right....
Interesting article.
But odd web site - did you see this?
>>Whiteness Studies: Understanding Culture or Promoting Hate?
Prof. John Press - 2/13/2008
Culturists and other Americans should all know about whiteness studies because they command a lot of respect in academia’s humanities departments. <<
I thought maybe it was a Nazi site but they are fanatically pro-Israel...
The difference between some (maybe most) Latino groups and all other immigrant groups? The other immigrant groups strongly encouraged their children to learn and use English, even if they did pick up the mother tongue around the house.
Amazing. You learn something new here everyday.
ANYONE who fails to get educated in this country is at fault.
Anyone’s failure to get an education is largely their own fault. It’s there for the taking.
“Fifth graders in Taipei, Taiwan spend an average of 13 hours a week on homework....” Where are their parents while all this studying is going on? I bet they are with their children. Nothing we do to solve our public education mess will work until parents become part of the process. How is it parents can watch their children go through thirteen-fourteen years of public school without noticing how little the kids learn? Parents aren’t responsible for their children’s education. That is left up to the public schools, and when the kids come home with homework, ...well, that’s between them and their teachers. Sorry, tutoring centers might help a few kids. Most school districts have access to numerous tutoring programs that are funded by federal and state grants. Most kids don’t want to be bothered with them, and most parents don’t care. The more Hispanic parents don’t care, and the more they let their children get caught up in the race wars trip, the more Hispanic children will drop out. The same goes for white kids, black kids and even yellow kids.
and War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength...The culture encourages this or that but... race correlates with culture more strongly than any other factor that can be named.
Does that make this racism?
Or realism?
John Press has the latitude to write this because NYC and environs are becoming less and less African-American, and less and less US born Caucasian American.
When you have 150+ cultures living together with their children in public schools, and only a few subcultures are failing continuously generation after generation, and where new arrivals coming from homelands where there was no electric, plumbing, or schooling are consistently outperforming the established cultures, it gets hard for the multicultural cult to continue their shrill screeds.
For many years now it has become more and more obvious : american indians, african blacks, latinos...are essentially right brian types, artistic and emotion-driven. Little or no left brain development, that engineering computer that is the filter for right brain output. Or, the right brain child-artist proposes the genius idea, the adult-engineer disposes of the idea as impractical.
We see this in the japanese, extreme left brain development and not enough right brain imagination. The germans are similar in their mechanical culture.
What you refer to here then is obvious, the lack of left brain development in american indians, blacks, latinos is inherent, DNA-based. A simple example : when the spanish conquered mexico, the only “wheel” they had was a spinning can on a stick, a child’s toy. If that was the only “wheel” latinos could invent BY THEMSELVES....
no its “the man’s” fault
I’m Hispanic but my family isn’t stuck in an anti-education, work-before-school mentality. I’m on my way to be a mathematician, my brother is an endodontist, my other brother is an electronics engineer with an MBA, another is a avionics engineer, and still another is a private detective. And yes my parents were both born in Mexico and came over legally in 1950.
