….if there are any.
1.Far too often the basis of the claim, racist, is a perusal of the place each race has in various categories.
It is the current vogue to assign the blame to ‘racism.’
While that ‘test’ is absurd on its face, the danger is that in pointing out the absurdity, one faces the charge of…..being racist.
2.There is this old joke:
The frequency of sexual activity of senior males depends on where they were born. Statistics were just released from Statistics Canada and The United Nations Board of Health Teams.
They revealed that American men between 60 and 80 years of age will, on average, have sex two to three times per week, whereas Japanese men, in exactly the same age group, will have sex only once or twice per year if they are lucky.
This news came as a shock to myself and my golf buddies, as none of us had any idea that we were Japanese.
Silly on the face of it,…..hence, a joke.
These guys are not Japanese, even if they do share this one characteristic of a certain race. So, race is not the factor in this situation.
Yet, when it is income at question, and we find this:
Median Household Income:
Asian $80,720
White $61,349
Hispanic $46,882
Black $38,555
List of ethnic groups in the United States by household income - Wikipedia
What is the assumption as to the reason for the disparity?
Is race/racism the reason for the disparity?
Does the difference in income represent the effect of racism???
Next.
