I truly believe that most discussions about race get it all wrong. The problem is not race. The problem is culture. Different groups of people of the same race have different cultures. And it is culture, not race, that is the #1 reason for how successful people are in general. That’s why you see different groups of the same race having very different outcomes. And not just for non-whites. The “white trash/red neck” culture is very different from the “urban professional” culture. Knowing about somebody’s culture tells you a lot more about their lives than their race. Your culture is the underlying OS of how you live your life and the decisions you make.
