[QUOTE="Notedstrangeperson, post: 63825191, member: 227984"] You're probably right here. That's what the economist Roland Fryer thinks is behind the lack of success in both black and Hispanic Americans ([URL="http://www.christianforums.com/t7762680-11/#post63780578"]link[/URL]). I also think this attitude towards eduction is why education among white people seems to be going downhill - and it would be pretty hard to blame that on racism. ;) Here in the UK the group who are doing the worst in terms of education are actually working-class white boys. That's partly because they simply don't need any degrees to do their jobs, and perhaps because they tend to come from poorer families, but I suspect it's also because they've become complacent in terms of education. This is something of a chicken-and-egg question: are Jewish people successful because they live in good neighbourhoods and go to good schools, or can they afford to live in good neighbourhoods and go to good schools because they are successful? Similarly, are black people unsuccessful because they have very few opportunities, or do they have very few opportunities because they are unsuccessful? Both, probably. It's a vicious cycle. [/QUOTE]
