A huge percentage of America's supposed problems completely disappear once you filter to only asians & non-hispanic white.
US white life expectancy is 79, asian 85.7. Blacks bring down the average thanks to their poor health choices. Scottish men only have 76.8 despite NHS.
White people in the United States are also no fatter than whites in many EU countries. Fact. Blacks, and to a lesser extent hispanics, fuck up all our statistics.
I noticed a sleight of hand by this 'journalist', namely that he argued that race does not account for it - and then cited only data from the UK, not the US.
Still, I don't think race is even close to explaining most or all of this. One of the worst states is West Virginia, which has a very small black population.
And it's not as if European countries don't have minorities who are, in fact, a good deal less acculturated than blacks in America are.
You've made this claim before. Can you name those EU countries?
Very small concentration of "bad" whites. More than offset by "good" ones in everywhere else.
Why does the US have so many more "bad" whites than other countries?
you have not offered any evidence in support of that idiotic, biased, anti-american conclusion. "I have no agenda here" YEAH RIGHT.
lots of other countries have plenty of "bad whites" and you have not proven anything to the contrary.
West Virginia is not a representative sample and you know it, it's an extreme outlier that you cherry picked and it has less than 1/2 of 1% of the US population.
Highest white population is Maine and you conveniently ignored it. Plenty of the skinniest states are also ones with the highest levels of non-hispanic white population, but no let's ignore all that and cherry pick 1 outlier and argue in bad faith "I don't think race is even close to explaining most or all of this."
I get tired of dealing with you when you argue in bad faith and clearly have an agenda.
