>Why do you post this shit?
Because it's symptomatic of where rightwing thought & propaganda are going; they've left the Bell Curve way behind. As Angela noted, the author was careful to put his argument partly in the mouths of members of maligned groups. It's also an example of the way that pseudo-scientifice racism has moved out of biology and into culture. You can bet that a lot of centrists and liberals who'd be nervous about embracing biological theories of poverty are willing to swallow "cultural" explanations. It all fits in with what Balibar & Zizek call neo-racism or multicultural racism, which holds that cultures are sacred and ought to be kept pure & apart. Multiculti racism avoids saying one is better than the other; "this shit" is pretty clear on the hierarchy, but everyone should be Benthamized.
