Tapsearch Com EditorSailer on diversity's downside
December 11th 2006 18:55
Yesterday I ran some numbers indicating that higher diversity in a country is linked to higher incarceration.
I'm curious what Steve Sailer would think about it, because his VDare column today covers another downside to diversity. Statistically, races vote in blocs more consistently when other races have a lot of political power.
He writes:
"Race is more relevant in the voting booth in direct proportion to the racial diversity of the electorate. In elections in the South today, race is the single biggest factor determining who votes for whom, black or white, Republican or Democrat, precisely because there is a very large black voting bloc that votes uniformly Democratic (96-3 for Gore over Bush in the 2000 election). Both races vote to advance their own interests. If whites in the South didn't vote almost as much as a bloc as blacks do, they'd lose."

One of the oddities is that black criminality was often highest in states with few blacks, like Iowa.
