This is true. Their success in life is generally valued by their governments.

In terms of realised outcome, maybe. In terms of potential, though, the only difference between a Kiwi baby and an American baby is the fact v that the American baby is expected to fend for itself.

Genetics is one thing, but there are also environmental differences we don't even know of. One example is lead banned in 70s for its neurological effects. Water in Scandinavia may contain 0.1% less zinc than in SF and that makes a big difference on some neuron properties that we don't know much about.

Higher levels of lithium in drinking water seem to reduce rates of depression and suicide.

The difference -- besides any genetic factors -- is thousands of years of religious, historical, and cultural differences.

And, this not being Brave New World, the baby will be subject to them.

Thousands of years? Get a grip. The US and New Zealand were only colonized by Europeans within the last few hundred years, and all three countries have generally similar cultural/religious backgrounds.

There's one very important difference, though.

Religions and culture indeed date back thousands of years.

And while the US and NZ we both colonized by Europe (primarily Britain), the latter has a much stronger dose of native and non-European heritage...to an extent such that Maori is actually an official language.

It used to be common knowledge, was debunked, and will be re-bunked?

Are they hate crimes, or just crimes? As in, are the perpetrators engaging in these assaults because they have a specific hatred of Asians or are they just acting in a barbaric way in general and an Asian person happened to be in the way?

I mean that as a genuine question - the videos I've seen have all been ambiguous on this fact.

The videos I've seen often include the perpetrator yelling racial slurs at the victim and telling them to "go back where they came from."

Of course, will these be charged as hate crimes? Doubtful.

I'm not taking a side here, but I am impressed with your dedication to this conversation.

I don't want to come off as a reactionary. I just want to find the truth and see where it leads, irregardless of political fashion trends.

Jesus, those people are horrible. I don't know what to say, I haven't seen those videos before.

If, for some reason, there were disproportionate outcomes based on race, one could reasonably question why this doesn’t count as “systemic racism”.

Citation needed, especially in context with the comment talking about American vs Kiwi people.

Citations on this topic haven't been doing well the last couple of decades. See what happened to James Watson

Where in this analysis do they account for slavery, Jim Crowe, mass incarceration, redlining, systemic racism, etc?

Or is the feeling that these things have no significant impact?

How do you account for it? Just give them more money?

Rich African Americans commit crimes at a higher rate than Asians and Whites at the same socioeconomic level.

Irish people haven't had a particularly pleasant past either, and you don't see people making excuses for them.

Massive investments in black communities. Comparing the treatment of the Irish to 400 years of institutionalized chattel slavery is absurd on its face. Also, again, ignoring everything else I mentioned. Some books you should check out to learn more about this. The New Jim Crow and The Color of Money. Black communities have been chronically underfunded, underserved, over-policed, and segregated for the entire history of our country.

They're also poorly explained by genetics, as evidenced by the blog you cited.

Occam would likely object to being left out of the conversation. Perhaps there's a more obvious reason for some of the differences in our society.

Without going into too much detail, consider that the millennial generation of African Americans is the first generation in the country's history to be granted full citizenship rights at birth. (The beginning of Gen X was born into a legally segregated society.) Might that have an impact? If you do not believe the impact is material, it would be reasonable to ask you to explain why.

Well, now that’s a fact to marvel at. Wow.
