A while back, renowned psychology professor Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario was criticized within the academic community for publishing a work culminating a lot of the research he’d been doing for years. Essentially, he proved that white people are smarter than black people; and Asians are smarter than white people. His research accurately took into consideration things like test scores, aptitude tests, and other assessments, it also looked at measurable qualities like brain size, gestation period, maturity rate, etc.
That didn’t matter though! The university attempted to get rid of him, the premier of the province of Ontario attempted to have him discredited. All this happening until other scientists finally had the balls to step up and say, “but he’s right.”
Now, it looks like a daring individual in government of Canada decided to challenge political correctness and use, well, facts.
Prosaically titled “Social and Economic Outcomes of Second Generation Youth,” the four-page memo showed little regard for the political correctness typical of government correspondence. “Chinese and South Asians are the most likely to have university degrees or higher, and to be employed in high-skilled occupations,” observed the summary, which was prepared by departmental bureaucrats and released recently through access to information. Second-generation youth of Caribbean and Latin American origin don’t fare so well, the memo went on; they tend to obtain lower levels of education than native-born Canadian kids and wind up in less skilled jobs.
Of course, remember that even when something is scientifically proven, it’s racist. Thank you.
