North Sri Lankan refugees (5 Viewers)

nor were they refugees you idiot

 

[SylviaB]

yeah I guess white refugees don't cause any problems. oh wait boston bombers.

Do you REALLY think anti-immigration people are fine with Muslim immigrants?

 

[isildurrrr1]

nor were they refugees you idiot

You haven't been keeping up with the news lately have you?

They were refugees. They had to leave their homes in Chechnya because of the violence that was involved there and were granted REFUGEE status in the USA. Hence, making them refugees. And yes chechens are white. Chechens are from the Caucaus mountains, which make them caucasian, that's as white as you can get.

Sylvia: you're obviously confusing the difference between refugees and immigrants. Of course refugees don't have any "skills" to help our economy, they had to flee their homes mostly due to either civil war or genocide. Yeah lets just break all our UN commitments and Australian refugee law. GG.

Ok firstly stop using IQ as a vaild measurement for anything ever.

IQ is an extremely strong predictor of socio-economic outcomes, such as income (and by proxy productivity), academic achievement, criminality, marriage stability etc. And it also correlates negatively with time preference, which itself has enormous predictive power.

The only people who care about their IQ are people who get around 120-140 so they have something to brag about. I know because I used to do this with my IQ of 136.

And how did you find out your IQ?

Then I did some reading and found out it's bullshit.

"did some reading" i.e. read some crap by a butthurt liberal who can't possibly conceive of socio-economic differences caused by anything other greedy corporations and "discrimination"

Silly test designed to measure how white and middle class you are. Why did I do so well? because I'm white and middle class

Well you're being a fucking moron, because Ashkenazi jews, koreans, japanese, Hong Kongers et al. ALL do better than whites. Whilst still living in non-white countries. On a test developed by whites!

Also: SATs correlate strongly with IQs, so if we use SAT scores as a proxy for IQ we can see that racial difference have little to do with income, because non-asian minorites score lower than whites for all income levels. Rich black kids score worse than poor white kids.

Also on the Tamil issue, why can't they just go to India where all the other Tamils are? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_diaspora

Also referring back to the OP. Are you insane? 40 million people? the current population is unsustainable never mind another 20 million

Well now you're starting to make sense.

I was literally responding to claims by the OP et al they they would be economically beneficial to Australia.

"They will help australia!"

"Uh no they won't"


"Well what do you expect they're refugees!"

"..."

Yeah lets just break all our UN commitments and Australian refugee law. GG.

Oh noes, not UN commitments!

You're new here, so I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm probably the last person you want to be making appeals to the UN for.

Thanks for using a 20 year old statistic to tell us how dumb mexicans and blacks are. Yeah SAT scores are real accurate on how well a racial group does.

I bet those guys are harvard and princeton are full of shit.

For years, the SAT has come under attack for having a certain bent. From the Harvard Educational Review to the Princeton Review, the measurement tool has been called a "white preference test."

Have you taken the SAT's before? The only reason why asians score so high is pretty much weighted on the math section. since language is huge part of the SAT's, if you didn't grow up in a family that were white collared tertiary educated, you're pretty much screwed on the verbal and written section.

1. Racial gaps haven't closed in the past few decades. No really, those who advocate "equality" acknowledge this themselves, which is why they say more needs to be done to combat it.

2. My point wasn't to say how dumb they are, I'm highlighting that the racial gaps aren't related to income levels.

3. Yes SAT scores are a relatively good measure of academic performance and an indicator of IQ.

SAT are indicative of academic performance and IQ? you obviously have never taken the test nor know anything about it. SAT's are extremely biased towards people who have money. It's practically a test you can pour money into to score higher.

IDIOT, I just showed that rich black kids do worse than poor white kids.

Furthermore, IQ correlates strongly with SAT, which would mean IQ is highly dependant on wealth. But Chinese people living in China have higher IQs than whites living in america.

Omg those kids in kentucky and Illinois, minnesota, michigan, colorado must be super duper smart! Scoring almost a full 250 points higher than the US national average!

lol learn2statisticalbias.

 

[isildurrrr1]

IDIOT, I just showed that rich black kids do worse than poor white kids.

You really have no idea how the SAT creates a racial bias do you?

Your graph pretty much proved more money = high score on the SAT. Nothing to do with intelligence at all. I'm just waiting for you to post the national IQ average chart showing how african countries score super duper low.

 

[SylviaB]

Want to prove it?

Your graph pretty much proved more money = high score on the SAT. Nothing to do with intelligence at all.

BUT THE RICH BLACKS WENT WORSE THAN THE POOR WHITES, so there is necessarily more to it than money

and again, chinese people have higher IQs despite being poorer.

.

Except they didn't even come close to scoring 250 points higher than the national average.

SAT has a racial bias!!!!


....in favour of asians....

Yeah based on a 20 year old stat rich blacks 20 years ago did worst than poor whites. no racial bias in the test at all amirite. I guess those guys are harvard and princeton are just full of shit. well maybe you haven't seen how abysmal the education system in predominantly black areas are have you? maybe that might have an effect on schooling? but still, good job on using a 20 year old stat about "education" when the SAT's aren't even a mandatory test. But still, good job on using an outdated statistic to prove your point how dumb black people are.

 

[isildurrrr1]

Total score. That's adding up math, critical reading and writing. national average is 1500, average for those states are well in the 1700+ range.

As I sad, the only reason asians score high on the SAT is the math section. for reading and writing they score around the same as whites.

 

[SylviaB]

Racial bias in favour of asians, apparently.

I guess those guys are harvard and princeton are just full of shit. well maybe you haven't seen how abysmal the education system in predominantly black areas are have you?

BUH-BUHHHHH

ooh, sorry, thanks for playing, have a safe ride home.

but still, good job on using a 20 year old stat

It doesn't matter that its 20 years old, the gaps are still essentially the same. But are you trying to say that 20 years ago income didn't matter that much but nowadays it suddenly does?

about "education" when the SAT's aren't even a mandatory test.

Okay, can you point to any kind of test in which significant racial gaps aren't present?

But still, good job on using an outdated statistic to prove your point how dumb black people are.

IDIOT, I'm saying that low IQs aren't caused by not being rich.

Look at what I'm responding to.

He claimed that high IQs are caused by being white and wealthy.

I demonstrated that numerous non-white populations have higher IQs than whites, and that being wealthy didn't mean you will necessarily have a high IQ.

omg this thread

 

[Drongoski]

btw Srinivasa Ramanujan was a Tamil; his IQ couldn't have been very high then.
