Stereotypes confirmed

The ever insightful Steve Sailer spotted a German newspaper telling the truth about the English rioters: Almost all suspects are foreigners, no job, and a sizeable criminal record. About half of the defendants are minors, yet their parents fail to show up in court. Although England has a massive native underclass, the overwhelming majority of the looting and burning was done by the imported underclass, the new people.

Affirmative action and lies

Suppose group A and group B differ in mean and distribution in some desirable or undesirable quality. Chances are that there is a lot of overlap in the middle, but when you select the very best, perhaps for some prestigious and well paid job, and the very worst, perhaps to lock them up and get them off the streets, the bell curve, the normal distribution, implies not much overlap.
