Eh?  I just said I'm inclined to believe you.  I'm satisfied that what you said is likely to be true.

Quote:Oh...boy.  You think you've got a built in IQ-ometer?  I don't even know how to begin to unpack that.  
Absolutely.  And please don't pretend to tell me that you can't identify a dummy in about 5 seconds of conversation.

Go figure out for yourself, again..as you implored peopled to do with racist mouth-droppings.
?
I'm saying I don't understand the words you put together.  I'm asking you to clarify what they meant in that context.

Quote:-and yet when a white person and a black person apply for those jobs...the black person has to hustle harder, gets called back less, and then gets paid less than his white counterpart.   
Agreed.

Quote:That's pretty fuckin racist, and deplorably ignorant.  

Because there are "differences" within the races which don't materialize the same effects as perceived or actual "differences" between the races.  It's clearly not "difference" which is informing a racist decision..it's racism.  Like your asian decision above.  If you want the guy with the highest IQ, administer a test.  Stop looking at his skin like a common fucking klansman, lol?  If anybody found out about your line of reasoning over here, they'd wipe the floor with your ass in a discrimination suit, and rightly so. As an employer, I couldn't justify hiring you in any management capacity..you're a liability.
PC rage noted, and as I expressed a few posts ago, anticipated.  So far, in two schools, I've had about 40% black teachers, though the percent of black teachers in Korea is negligible.  That's because I hire on resume, and because I've thought for a long time that white guys in Korea get too full of themselves due to. . . explicit racism and a resulting narcissism.  So I've been racist in my hiring, but I'm pretty okay with that.

But I'm not selecting for IQ.  I'm selecting for personality, and for relevant background.  The main trait I need is someone who's relaxed and can connect well with children, and I personally feel black people have better overall social skills (read: charisma) than white people, in particular white male Americans, who I perceive as being excessively belligerent on the whole.  Again, racist, but I'll own it. White American males are, on the whole, the biggest dicks you'll meet in almost any country. I can't count the times I've seen some fat businessman shouting, "I'm spending good American dollars here, and . . ."

I doubt you'll believe me, but I don't care much. Currently, my two highest-paid employees are a black man and a white woman (not American), and they are paid the same amount. And they are gods in the classroom. Actually, while last year was a horrible time, this year, things are going pretty well.

As for administering a test. . . I'm pretty sure I literally just said that in actual practice, I would just administer a test.
