The _average_ Indian, Bangladeshi or Chinese will move up in the world? I get the impression that you are comparing the exceptional people from those countries to the lowest performing Americans. Also, if the average person from those countries is so much more industrious than Americans, why do they need to come to America to enjoy a good life?
- yummyfajitas 10y agoYou seem to be agreeing with me. My claim is that some humans are high quality (quality in the sense of having traits that allow them to improve their economic station) and will escape poverty. Other humans are low quality and will not. I.e., quality of the human rather is what matters, and circumstances can be overcome. The only place you seem to disagree with me is that you think many Indians are low quality too. That could be true; I have no strong evidence one way or the other on that matter.
