I recently saw a report that said that our school system has not been able to close the gap between anglos and blacks and Mexicans in achievement test grades. (I recall that Steve Sailor predicted this result a few years ago.) Some have suggested that this is more of a class issue than a race issue. I wonder about that. My wife was a public school teacher for over 30 years, mostly here in Arlington, Texas. At the start of the school year she would often get non-English speaking students who had just arrived in the US from Mexico and from Vietnam. By the end of the year the Vietnamese would be speaking English and making A's and the Mexicans would be unable to speak English and would be failing. Both of these groups were poor, but there were obvious cultural differences.
