If it holds up against any other countervailing research of the "experts," it not only appears that the pudding is well cooked, but that the folks at Heritage owe Richwine a HUGE apology. Unfortunately, the inevitable "chilling" effect on other social scientists who might tend to "self censor" in order to keep their jobs, insures that further research and "peer review" in this area and, more importantly, study of its impact on public policy, is much less likely. NOT a particularly glowing outcome for liberty, economic vitality, OR race relations in our country. Sadly, it appears short-term political advantage is more important to Heritage than the long-term economic health of the United States. jpJ Pahnkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752327561899741414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-77908330653468649662013-05-09T23:07:04.856-07:002013-05-09T23:07:04.856-07:00The family claimed they were descended from an adm...<i>The family claimed they were descended from an admiral in the Spanish Armada who was shipwrecked in Ireland in 1588.</i><br /><br />That's a great tip for some enterprising Diego Gatsbillo--assuming anyone you meet even knows what the Spanish Armada was, they won't bother to dispute such a too-good-to-check ruse, though best not attempted if you have red hair (an established tell of deceivers)Roberto Dineronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-73020757887656407412013-05-09T19:21:04.003-07:002013-05-09T19:21:04.003-07:00With all the angelenos with a film background one ...With all the angelenos with a film background one would think there would be a award winning documentary on the Mexican-chicano underclass of Los angeles.

I think this sort of usage is part of the problem. I'm not indulging in any Korzybski like nonsense here, just a straight forward separation of genetics and other factors.<br /><br />Mayor Villaraigosa I think is an Amerindian. He is Hispanic by culture in that he speaks Spanish and likes Mexican food. But even if I had done better in high school Spanish I will never be considered Hispanic. No amount of Pollo en Mole will suffice to bring me the advantages of a Hispanic classification.<br /><br />OTOH Villaraigosa could identify as an Amerindian and qualify for casino profits. It's not fair. <br /><br />Mario Rubio seems to me to be almost all Caucasian. Caesar Romero was also mostly Caucasian and his lover the other screen Latin Tyrone Power - was completely Caucasian. It's a mess.<br /><br />But a solution is in sight. I recently took a spit test. I sent away to 23andme for a genetic screening kit. One of the things they promised was to determine my Neanderthal heritage (if any). I'm wondering if this might help the feds with their problems of differentiating between race and ethnicity.<br /><br />I realize that race isn't a simple presence at a SNP of some specific polymorphism. I am not guilty of the Lewontin fallacy. But maybe some new analysis of correlated SNPs would show meaningful patterns.<br /><br />When it became advantageous to be an Indian about thirty years ago the feds had to establish rules. I think you had to be one eight. In the recent Massachusetts Senatorial race Indian heritage was again a big question. <br /><br />On the survey front the FBI now says there are three major races only - white, black and Asian. Hispanic is now only an ethnic category. This is the logic that decides that Villaraigosa is white even though he probably has no European ancestors.<br /><br />Maybe we can get some of this on a more rational basis if we all just spit into the little tube.<br /><br />Albertosaurus<br /> Pat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-76164450963070272452013-05-09T11:12:00.000-07:002013-05-09T11:12:00.000-07:00You write Pancho Gonzales and Pancho Gonzalez.

The actual spelling he would have used originally was Gonzàlez.<br /><br />Of course he also called himself Richard not Pancho, which he considered a racial slur.<br /><br />But the point is that the real Spanish spelling has an accent over the a. The reason that Gonzales became the preferred spelling is that typewriters and printers preferred fewer diacritical markings. English has the fewest such accents, probably because it has had the most books in print. <br /><br />So simplified spelling is a good thing. A mark of evolution from hand writing to machine based printing.<br /><br />But the computer is slowing down that evolution. A Japanese typist used to take two years to train. One of the reasons that the US has led in computers is that English being simpler was easy for early computers to handle. No longer. Their is less pressure on the Japanese and Chinese to revise their alphabets as computers become more competent. The Asian languages have placed a burden on their economies that have benefitted the US. Again no more.<br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-51610051559989457602013-05-09T08:39:09.275-07:002013-05-09T08:39:09.275-07:00Correlating years of government school education w...Correlating years of government school education with actual levels of education is a great mistake. Ten years was the average for Americans in 1940. Are we an improvement? Tocqueville's America, that nation which he called the best educated on earth, counted six or eight years of education--the product of literacy plus the application of work from an early age. <br /><br />Mexican-American drop out rates were at one time Tocquevillian, but are now merely the product of the worst of two worlds.
