Exactly, it's all about life choices.
Many Chinese immigrants never go to bars / night clubs, and almost never eat outside, and almost never travels. They save all the money for their kids' education.
Some other ethnic groups, even low-income families frequently spend money on those things. Yes. It's your right to spend the money the way you like. But you don't get to cry for no money for education when you spend money on other unnecessary things.
Essentially, it's culture.
In modern multiculturalism, cultural differences are important for the narrative, but totally unimportant for life outcomes. Why is that?
- SyzygistSix 5y agoBecause some cultural differences are different than others. And the ones that are especially detrimental won't change unless people of that demographic are exposed to and learn from successful people who engage in beneficial habits that solve the issue.
- temp8964 5y agoI don't think most people would change their behaviors even after they are exposed to other cultures. There is an opposite force to prevent you from engaging in "beneficial habits". In Blacks kids, there is a commonly known term called "acting White". Kids can actually be laughed at for studying hard.
- SyzygistSix 5y agoDo you think normalizing the successful behaviors will increase the backlash? I would think it would do the opposite. And I would disagree with anyone that said that becoming highly educated, at least in the modern sense, necessitates giving up one's culture.
