He just doesn't agree with the conclusions. Premises, I think. The question being, "why do black kids do worse at school than white kids, why do Asian kids do better at school than white kids?" Phrased that way because white kids are statistically the majority. Apparantly it's unacceptable to ask the question or research it? Because regardless of the outcome if the study was properly set up, you couldn't call the conclusions "ethnic stereotypes."

John, that is almost exactly what the data is showing. In both new books. The major difference between the Black, White, and Asian ethnic groups in School is their study time. And it makes sense. He knows very well, Bill. For cripes sake, he's a sociologist. His field is drawing generalizations on populations from statistics. He just doesn't agree with the conclusions. No, Derek, I didn't respond because Bill didn't provide the serious studies, including disconfirming ones, and the reviews of the studies which would verify it. Bill has a set of beliefs here, as, obviously, do you. Have fun with them.
