More educational corruption
I am a great fan of the WSJ’s Taranto but for once he seems to have slipped up. He notes that Boston area High School valedictorians are highly likely to be overseas-born and concludes from that that native-born Americans are dumber. I had a look at the list of valedictorains myself and saw something MUCH more striking than the percentage born overseas: There was not a single WASP among them! With only two or three exceptions, they were all black, Hispanic or Asian. Getting to be a valedictorian might once have had something to do with academic ability but these days it is obviously political correctness that is the key consideration. I have no doubt that various politically correct policies—such as busing—have driven most whites out of the Boston area but not being able to find a single WASP valedictorian seems very suspect.
QUOTE BY TARANTO IN THE WALL ST JOURNAL
Taranto quoted (reasonably accurately) the comment above today. As a psychometrician (academic specialist in measuring psychological variables) I am well aware that blacks ON AVERAGE score much lower than whites on IQ—so to have blacks systematically outperforming whites on anything academic does indeed in my view indicate the workings of political bias.

Sure, there are millions among the other races that could score at or above the average White in population of the US.
But is that justification to murder Whites in America? And that’s exactly what this is, Ray, you freaking moron.
Beckster, you freaking moron, the post had nothing to do with anybody killing anybody

Your “list of valedictorains[sic]” pertains to the city schools, where there are virtually no white students. From Boston Globe, on a report from the State University of New York at Albany:
White children have almost entirely escaped the city of Boston, and those who remain in the city live in increasingly advantaged city neighborhoods; half of them attend private schools,” it reads. “The vast majority of them live in the suburbs, and in the suburbs they grow up in neighborhoods and attend schools that are typically 90 percent white and remarkably affluent.”
In other words, the main reason you see no “WASP” valedictorians in the inner city schools is because there are no WASPs there, period.

Ach, Flummox is correct. If a negro or mestizo is valedictorian then the neighborhood has been ethnically cleansed of whites (99.99999% probability).

John Ray:
I am a great fan of Taranto
Taranto:
Maybe the anti-immigrant slogan should be: “Keep America stupid--seal the borders!”
Taranto is an open borders chickenhawk neocon (Jewish, I believe). He’s also a hater (especially of the French) and a creep. Read this from an understandably angry Peter Brimelow:
Unable to take criticism, like all immigration enthusiasts, Tarantoad reacted to my comments about him in this review by linking to my address and phone number, which at that time VDARE.COM’s webhost posted in full, even though he knows perfectly well that I work at home, that we have small children, and that my wife - his former colleague - is gravely ill with metastasized breast cancer.
I’m curious to know why you are a Taranto fan. Is it just because he sneers at liberals?

Taranto is Jewish and in typical Jewish fashion pushes race-replacement of Euros with jaw-dropping aggressiveness, the reason being, apparently, hatred of Christianity, so wanting to eliminate those Christians who can’t simply be ignored: namely, Euro Christians (Mexican ones, Negro ones and so on can simply be ignored by the Jews but not Euro ones so they have to be eliminated). That, I believe, explains the intensity, the passion, the tenaciousness with which Jews insist on race-replacement immigration: they’ve finally got their ancient enemy, Euro Christianity, in the cross hairs and absolutely will not let him get away this time. They’re going to finally eliminate him: it’s the Jews trying as hard as they can to commit genocide. That’s what you’re witnessing in their passionate, almost religious support of, their non-negotiable insistence on, more and more and more and more and more race-replacement immigration for Euros, always more, it’s never enough, never time to declare a limit, always we’re told by the Jews we have to have more of it. The mere fact that they want the diametrical opposite for Israel by itself leads virtually inescapably to the above interpretation. In the course of this past year I’ve come to the tentative conclusion that Jews and Euros can’t live together in the same country because what makes the one happy makes the other miserable. Public celebration of Christmas makes Euros happy and Jews miserable. Race-replacement immigration makes Jews happy and Euros miserable. There’s a huge number of other examples. The two have to separate.

You’re misunderstanding the situation. Whites haven’t been driven out of the Boston area, only the city proper. Boston’s legally defined city limits are very confined, and contain only 10% of the population of the Boston metropolitan area. This is effectively an “inner city.” WASPs and other non-immigrant whites do not attend inner city schools; they attend suburban and private schools. Your list of valedictorians included only the public city schools, whose students are almost entirely minority and immigrant.
but not being able to find a single WASP valedictorian seems very suspicious.
Why? The number of WASPs in the Boston public school system is negligible, probably less than 1%. There isn’t a single Jewish valedictorian on the list either, but does that mean Jews aren’t doing well educationally? Of course not. It only means that Jews aren’t attending the public city schools either.

Matra, what is so hard to understand? The very reasons you, Brimelow, and most here despise Taranto - these are precisely the very reasons John Ray is a fan of his.
Now, what is really hard to understand is how a blog saturated with John Ray posts has the temerity to pass itself off as “Majority Rights.”
Truth in advertising, and all that.

Nine truer words were never written. Excellent.
Well, said, Geoff. It is a shame that you are no longer at this blog, but one can understand your reasons.

“It is a shame that you are no longer at this blog”
Yes it certainly is. Geoff’s blogging contributions are much-missed.

Yesterday Guessedworker accused me of ‘pugnacity’, apparently a Bad Thing, for criticising his juvenile discourtesy towards a commenter.
I invite him to examine this thread.

most were born in the United States. none were born in Mexico. I guess the lesson we should draw is to let in more Albanians?

Since I am a newbee on MR,please forgive[or ignore]what may be personal queries,but what the hell is this piss-up between Geoff B and JJR? Both appear very well equiped,intellectually,and I don’t always philosophicaly agree with either,but if all opinions were identical-why have this[or any] blog? Did JJR steal Geoff’s wife,run over his dog,or did Geoff piss in JJR’s pint 10 years ago? Not expecting an answer,but the exchange above seems out of character for both. Cheers!
