These are demographic factors the Census Bureau has identified as contributing to undercounting:

And also negative selection in immigration: as smart natives moved out, duller immigrants moved in to work in the coal mines.

West Virginia whites are low outliers for things like test scores. This is probably mostly explained by brain drain over very long periods of time.

@CatSplotchy @mattyglesias But I'm a human, and my ancestors have been humans for 200,000 years. I'm not lucky, for instance, that I wasn't born an ant or a cockroach. Those were never in the cards to begin with.

This is a very strange conception of what “luck” is.

@AdemsanArifi @mattyglesias Why confine it to humans? Am I lucky to not have been born as an ant? There are far more ant births every year than human births.

@Shiftant @mattyglesias That is true, but also the a priori probability of a random human born in Mars in 0 as evidenced by the fact that there's no reported case of birth on Mars, while the probability of being born in China is higher.

Chud the Builder reminds me of Baked Alaska and his "YOBA" streams. Both were spamming racial slurs everywhere and macing people. Both ended their streaming marathons by spectacularly crashing in flames, with Baked Alaska being arrested for filming himself invading the Capitol.

Indian people seem to think that when white Americans say "Asian people" we might be including them This is not so

Arabs and Iranians also ranked highly! Same selection story: Arab Americans: 63-77% Christian. Home countries: >95% Muslim (Arab American Institute 2006). Iranian Americans: 24% Muslim. Iran: 99% Muslim (PAAIA 2025). Christian selection is key; Christians outperform Muslims across the Middle East at every level of education (Tfaily et al. 2013; Bar-Haim 2025). Feliciano (2005) found Iranians had the greatest educational selectivity of all sending countries analyzed.

@MariGO2thepolls I honestly don't think it's primarily the Jewish part. A right wing, yet anti-Israel Jew would be more successful than him. BUT there are functionally zero (0) unmixed Jews in the US who are anti-Israel, yet right-wing.

This is the religious composition of the 20 largest counties in the United States. Catholicism is the largest in fifteen of them. Clearly, Texas cities are outliers here with high concentrations of evangelicals.

@Caz1177 @HexZatara @Year_of_Jubilee Only 1 percent owned slaves but about 75 of eligible males got up and fought for the Confederacy. Which to your point about the posters GP being sharecroppers. Most mystifying thing is how so many poor working class white men fought to stay poor.

@ASFleischman Ironically, by carrying a gun, you automatically turn any potential attacker into a lethal threat, because of the possibility they could grab your gun and use it on you.

I'm sorry but has nothing to do with race or free speech. You can't provoke an unarmed person with the intent of shooting him if he poses a non lethal threat.

Regartless what you think of Bud the Chuilder this discussion needed to be had anyway. This whole "I can attack you with impunity because you made a specific sound with your mouth" thing has to come to an end. It's incongruous to a civilized and free society
