Our society is for HUMANS. Yeah, I would expect all HUMANS to follow the same set of standards, as there is not an immense difference in average body structure between the various ethnicities. Who the fuck compares home background to BEING A TWO TON QUADRAPED?
I assume he thinks getting a black kid to pass an exam is equivalent to getting a two ton pachyderm to climb a tree....
Either that or he really underestimates the effort white and asian kids put in.
Either way seems racist AF
You're misunderstanding. He's probably saying the white people are the monkey and black people are the fish.
I literally heard this same analogy when I was in graduate school in SJW studies (don't worry, long since recovered - that experience was an expensive red pill) -- the problem is, we're not comparing monkeys to fish. We're comparing humans to humans.
The big overall message is that "everyone has their strengths" but we need a baseline of proficiency for HUMANS on basic skills needed to survive and thrive in the world.
It's also completely false that "everyone has his own strength", which implies that these somehow even out across individuals. Talent and lack thereof is highly correlated in what is known as the g-factor.
All men are not created equal.
