Also, the good doctor can't say, "We're hoping the Hispanics take care of the Blacks".

Blacks appear highly motivated to self segregate. Self segregation used to be called racism, but in black communities, schools and clubs it’s now called “safe spaces.” Cause.. you know..that’s where all the safety resides. The idea that whites could be inserted into black neighborhoods up to a critical mass (like neutron rods in a block of uranium fuel) to prevent overheating with crime, poverty and violence seems unlikely to the point of being laughable.

Love that simile: whites as absorber rods amidst the blacks as uranium rods.

Tribalism is a constant across time.

Get used to it.

You've written about Compton CA becoming largely Hispanic. How did it happen, and where did the displaced blacks go?

Did you mean Jackson, Mississippi? I believe that's MS. Or did you mean Flint, Michigan (MI)?

I think Richard Hanania wrote that Compton blacks moved out to San Bernardino area.

New Jersey publishes the racial breakdown of all of its schools as a matter of the public record. Unless you are in a well-to-do district, it is frightening how quickly the white proportion of schools is declining on a year-to-year basis. The only caveat is that because of the one-drop rule, some students who identify as Latino don't necessarily look the part.

As of now, MENA students are still classified as white, but as the expression goes, they aren't sending us our best, so if most of your white students are MENA, your school isn't going to be as competitive as a school filled with Jews, WASP's, and high-achieving ethnic Catholics.

> Malcolm X High School

I don't know if you were using this example to be humorous, but AFAICT there are two high schools named for Malcolm X. One is an alternative high school in Madison, Wisconsin, that has fewer than 100 students, but the other is a general-purpose high school located in southern Newark, New Jersey, near the airport. The latter is 80 percent black and 18 percent Latino. The average SAT scores are 395 Verbal and 373 Math. Scores have actually IMPROVED over the last 10 years, when they were 325V and 336M.

There have been a large number of whites looking for new places to live since Feb 2022, but the American right has shown almost no interest in them. Real ideological failure IMO.

You refer to Ukraine. It's no different from why other Arab countries don't say: "Yes, we'll take all the Palestinians; ship them to us, Almighty Israel, and we will keep them."

The reason Egypt refuses to take Gaza-Palestinians is not because they don't like Palestinians.

However, the fact that Palestinian refugees have a history of attempting coups in those Arab countries that did take them is not a point in their favor.

Some of that is just opting out of the "white" category, and good on them.

Maybe my anecdotal evidence from the Pacific NW is not nationally representative, but the whites are still pretty fertile, especially in comparison to Asians. I'd say they're about on par with the blacks and Mexicans.

However, the parenting quality is not all that high. A lot of them are outside the system to some degree, in large part due to fear of cps, homosexual predation and the like. No joke about the homosexual thing. It's pretty aggressive in Washington state.

I’m all in favor of integrating with middle-class and upper-class black kids, but frankly, I would prefer that the ghetto black kids stay where they are. Though if white liberals want to run aggressive busing experiments in the 21st century, then they should try to do so, but I don’t want this done in my own area and I suspect that them doing this will end up costing them the votes of a lot of suburbanites.
