Because parents who are really interested in their child’s ability to survive the real world will teach the child to survive or have someone equally qualified to teach the child. I learned to swim in the Mississippi River, (MN/WI) and being able to swim against that current would tire you out. Now however, people who live on government handouts for generations have no clue how to survive or even what basic survival skills are needed.
Worked with an engineer in MA who moved into a house with a fireplace. He came in one morning and told how he had bought three logs, tried them, and returned them to the convenience store because they didn't work..
He used up a whole box of safety matches -- holding them under the logs -- and the darn things just refused to light! (Obviously, he had never heard or thought of the concept of kindling...)
I don't think race had anything to do with it (this fellow just happened to be black). More likely, it was having grown up in a totally urban environment.
However, it may be cultural: out here in the piney woods, we had wiener roasts for our granddaughters' birthdays (their choice) -- and none of their (small town/rural) black friends or their parents had ever cooked anything over an open fire before. So we invited their parents to stay and join in -- and we all had a great time...
