It’s definitely not just the Dominican Republic or just the Caribbean. And re: Mexico http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/migrations/legacy/almthird.html
It seemed like you were more confused about African traditions being a part of many Hispanic cultures, since you singled that out. Of course there’s no single Hispanic or African or Asian culture. I’d say of all the characteristics they tried to ascribe to any of these fake mono cultures, the use of African drums is…
Oooooomg damn. Johns Hopkins of all places. They should know better. Jesus
Because there are a lot of hispanics of African descent
Ew what
Why how in the world is that negated by the cause being biological
That’s not necessarily true. Believing that a smaller proportion of women are suited for something than the proportion of men does not mean that you think any individual woman is less suited than any individual man. His argument is to judge each individual on merit and not giving them points according to the group…
I don’t disagree with your general perception of the world. However, arguments about what you think he secretly believes or does in opposition to what he says he believes or would do are irrelevant. We can only argue against the arguments he actually makes. Doing otherwise is straw man
Yeah I agree with the first part. However, you go on to imply that he claims that someone being a woman makes them unsuitable for hire or worth less money. His claim is that the proportions of men and women in computer science may be biologically self-selecting.
I agree with most of that. That there’s variability doesn’t exclude the possibility that there are differences in the distribution of traits that would lend a person to computer science. But yeah I agree as far as I could see the idea that certain traits were good or bad for computer science seemed to be pure…
I’ll never have a mattress without blood on it. I don’t even want to try
Marcus Aurelius was a stoic. Meditations is stocism
I don’t really understand what you’re saying because the two ideas are not mutually exclusive?
Lol wut. I’m literally just stating the fact that there is a difference between what is true about a population average or population distribution and what is true about an individual selected from the population. That is basic statistics. You may have meant something different from what you said, but your statement…
That’s not ad hominem. If you don’t understand the difference between the two concepts you don’t understand basic statistics. That’s a basic principle of statistics. It’s not opinion, it’s fact. You saying I’m proud of my b-degree from a state school is pure conjecture.
I agree with most of what you said, but I think you’re still mischaracterizing his points. I didn’t see anything about him claiming low variability in men. He didn’t say that given a man and a woman the man is better at tech than the women. His main point was that the disproportionate presence of men in tech may be…
Lol nice incorrect assumptions and ad hominem with a nice dose of straw man booboo. No one argued that the average woman is dumber than the average man. I don’t even agree with most of what damore has claimed but I at least understand what his claims are. BTW I don’t think there is any research that shows women to be…
Also variability in what? And in what groups? The way you wrote it it sounds like you’re talking about variability and groups in general
