The more educated you are the less children people seem to have. We need to send more minorities to college to prevent over breeding. Not to prevent Whites from becoming minorities, but to prevent continued increase in global population. This is probably a bigger issue in India and China. We need to educate before we destroy our way of living with over population, there is little wonder that the most advanced countries have the lowest birthrates.

This seems to be the issue, it makes the poorly educated fall into an even bigger hole. It's a cause for concern because it make the gap between the rich and poor grow even bigger.

OT: Kaz has some merit in what he is saying, there is a good amount of racism in our country. This group hates that group etc. It's unavoidable, but the fact you can't go in some areas of this country, just because the color of your skin is a horrific thing. You couldn't go to some neighborhoods being , hell you can be harassed for THINKING differently in a good chunk of this country. If I could think of one word for the people of the US, it's divided. For a country that is the so-called "mixing pot" such issues shouldn't exist. I fear that eventually people will keep within their own groups and we will segregate ourselves to the point of cutitng contact off with each other. There is too much "us and them"

It's not just our country.  In fact when it comes to racism... i'd actually say there are a lot of problems in every country racism wise... there are a number of europeon countries i'd consider more racist... for example France and Sweeden... and even Canada has it's problems with racism towards native americans and such.

 

It's just a known fact that world wide... not just in america... minority groups actually tend to be even more racist to other minorities then the majority.  The reason is... they grow up in the majoritys society, that prosrcibes subconsiously that they're normal... normal is seen as good.  So now a black guy sees white people as normal, and black people as normal, everyone else... not so much.

Also, you've got a bit of competition between the different races to be the "favored" minority.

 

When you do snap judgement tests you'd be surprised just how often positive connotations are given to white people and negative to minorities, in people who aren't even remotely racist.

Heck, even half minority people or full minority people OFTEN attribute negative attributes to their own minority race... rather then the majority race.
