I don't think it's genetic, but for sure it's embedded in their culture.
Warm climate folks have little need to plan for 6 months & 1 year from now. There's plenty of food & materials all year long.
Cold climate folks either plan ahead or die.
There's lots of Black & other folks who've come to Canada and fully assimilated to our culture. The climate really "encourages" this! Not recently of course, the 4+ million imports the past 4 years haven't had time to adapt to anything. They're still living and thinking like they were "back at home" eh?
The Haitians even killed French women and children so their genes wouldn't be polluted by whiteness.
The natural selective pressures you point at have eroded too far with postindustrial civilization. There's the genetic factor and the social factor. This effects native populations even before modern immigrants (insufficiently vetted or naturally filtered) are factored in. Even the assimilated nonwhite, non-East Asian individuals will have descendants with genetics more predisposed towards violence and low intelligence than favorable populations. This is a bad when combined with the welfare state, before the new immigrants you mentioned.
I was going to say "predisposition" too, but that too can be overcome, with enough work. Not that 100% will succeed, which means it does take generations to "weed it out" eh?
Completely academic argument. No reason to highlight the exceptions unless you're trying to convince a young black man not to become a troubled youf. As a culture we have to look at most likely probabilities to make decisions.
Genetic means it is in the DNA. Your eye colour is genetic. There's no "probabilities" involved. Predisposition means it is influenced by your DNA. Or not.
You cannot be predisposed to have 5 fingers on each hand, but you can be predisposed to be a fat-fatty unless you're careful. If you were born with 9 fingers total? Or 11 or 12? That's DNA, not predisposition.
I know most folks interchange the two. Lord knows the gays do it constantly! They try to claim it's "in the DNA" little understanding that if it were? It would make gayness a genetic disorder (because it precludes their reproduction of said DNA). But is isn't, so it isn't. 😊
Did you know blacks in the US commonly heat their homes by opening the oven with it on and turning on the stove? Particularly chilly days are known as "four burner nights" because all stove burners will be lit
Yeah, it's genetic.
Well, it's not just Blacks, but many homes in the South don't actually have heating systems, it's true.
It's like opening the fridge door to cool your house: seems like a good idea for a short time, but...
Mostly Blacks? Possibly. Slum landlords don't equip their units with anything not required by law, eh?
