Diversity or Standards?

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| If you like this video, I hope you'll send the link to a lot of your friends. | |
| There is no other way they're probably going to find out about it. | |
| The other day, I made a video called Diversity or Standards. | |
| You can't have both. | |
| I pointed out all the standards that have fallen in the name of diversity in law enforcement, schools and colleges, employment, and even historical accuracy. | |
| But there was one I forgot. | |
| You will recall the housing bubble that burst in 2008 and started the Great Recession. | |
| One of the big reasons for the bubble was government pressure on banks to relax creditworthiness standards. | |
| Here is George W. Bush in 2002 scolding the country's bankers because not enough minorities owned houses. | |
| As highlighted at the bottom, he told them, we've got to work to knock down the barriers that have created a home ownership gap. | |
| The barriers were just little things like requiring a down payment or having an income that could cover the mortgage payments. | |
| The old rules had to go so that blacks and Hispanics could buy houses they couldn't afford. | |
| Once the standards came down, whites with bad credit got mortgages too. | |
| And when the inevitable wave of foreclosures hit, the economy went into the worst recession since the Great Depression. | |
| As I said in my video, diversity or standards? | |
| You can't have both. | |
| Today, I will explain how science is sacrificed to diversity. | |
| I hope you know the name J. Philippe Rushton, who died in 2012. | |
| He did pioneering research on the nature and significance of racial differences, and his book, Race, Evolution, and Behavior, is a classic. | |
| The race deniers have made it very hard to find, and they are now ganging up on the scientific journals that published his papers. | |
| Here is their latest triumph, a notice from the publication Psychological Reports, saying it has retracted three of his papers. | |
| And please note the reason at the bottom of the screen. | |
| The research was unethical, scientifically flawed, and based on racist ideas and agenda. | |
| Wow, a modern-day Dr. Mengele. | |
| The only specifics this notice gives is that Russian was wrong on the subject of intelligence and race. | |
| Race differences in IQ are one of the most widely confirmed findings in the entire science of mental testing. | |
| Here's an article crowing about the retraction of debunked anti-black race science. | |
| Note the illustrations. | |
| They are a hodgepodge from a book published 164 years ago. | |
| All of these retracted papers were peer-reviewed. | |
| Is the publisher going to name the scientists who reviewed Rushton's methods, data, and conclusions and say that they had racist ideas and agenda? | |
| Well, why not? | |
| Here's another lovely case. | |
| Last year, Dr. Norman Wang wrote a paper for the Journal of the American Heart Association on race and ethnicity considerations for the cardiology workforce. | |
| He warned that race preferences for non-whites in medical school means that some poorly qualified people are trying to become doctors. | |
| He wrote, Long-term academic solutions and expedience should not be sacrificed for short-term demographic optics. | |
| He added that people who want to be doctors must be assessed as individuals on the basis of their personal merits, not their racial or ethnic identities. | |
| Well, we can't have that. | |
| Sharon Hayes is a heart doctor who bills herself as an advocate for equity. | |
| Well, she's being modest. | |
| She is the Mayo Clinic's Director of Diversity and Inclusion. | |
| She tweeted, Rise up, colleagues! | |
| The fact that this is published in our journal should both enrage and activate all of us. | |
| And they rose up all right. | |
| Dr. Norman Wang was teaching at the University of Pittsburgh's med school. | |
| It promptly issued a statement saying the article was full of misconceptions, misquotes, inaccuracies, misstatements, and misreadings. | |
| Wow! How did the peer reviewers miss all that? | |
| The med school then ordered Dr. Wang to have no contact with med students. | |
| Well, it's hard to teach when you can't talk to the students. | |
| And of course, the journal's editors ate dirt, begged for mercy, and retracted the paper with no explanation to Dr. Wang of what was wrong with it. | |
| They made the article hard to find and stamped retracted article on every page. | |
| Here are some of the data that enraged and activated poor Sharon Hayes. | |
| It's a breakout by race of attrition attributable to academic reasons, which is a nice way of saying flunked out. | |
| Look at the blue highlight in the lower right. | |
| Blacks flunked out at 10.57 times the white rate, Hispanics at 5.12 times, Asians at 1.38 times, Eskimos and American Indians at 6.59 times the white rate, | |
| Is this table a misconception or a misstatement? | |
| Dr. Wang, bless him, has sued everyone in sight. | |
| Here's another example. | |
| Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is one of the most prestigious science publications in the world. | |
| In 2019, it published Officer Characteristics and Racial Disparities in Fatal Officer-Involved Shootings, which tried to figure out if the race of a police officer made him more or less likely to shoot a non-white. | |
| As you will note further down, this article was retracted. | |
| Unacceptable conclusion. | |
| We find no evidence of anti-black or anti-Hispanic disparities across shootings, and white officers are not more likely to shoot minority civilians than non-white officers. | |
| Instead, race-specific crime strongly predicts civilian race. | |
| That means the race of the person the cop killed. | |
| This suggests that increasing diversity among officers by itself is unlikely to reduce racial disparity in police shootings. | |
| It's what criminals do that gets them killed, not police racism. | |
| So you could get rid of all the white cops and non-whites would still be shot by the police. | |
| Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute quoted this article in testimony before Congress. | |
| But Ms. MacDonald is a conservative. | |
| And science must never give comfort to conservatives. | |
| After some entertaining hemming and hawing, the authors themselves retracted their own paper. | |
| They said they stood by their data and methods, but had to fold because Ms. McDonald misused their article. | |
| They didn't say how. | |
| You can find the whole sorry story in this article in the Wall Street Journal. | |
| And so, once again, you can have either diversity, And the myth that racist police are killing innocent blacks and Hispanics, or you can have science. | |
| Not both. | |
| Science is perverted in the name of race, even in medicine. | |
| Here is the AMA, the American Medical Association, telling us that race-based medicine is wrong. | |
| Also, note all the whooping about equity and racial justice. | |
| The article says race is merely a social and political construct. | |
| So doctors should ignore it. | |
| And here is Stanford University Medicine explaining it's time to eliminate race-based medicine. | |
| Well, Stanford and AMA are wrong. | |
| This article explains why it's important to screen donated blood by race. | |
| For example, only blacks have U-negative blood. | |
| As an expert explains, It makes no sense to screen 100,000 whites for U- when no U- white person has ever been found. | |
| Gift of Life is a charity that encourages organ donation. | |
| It has a whole section on race and organ donation. | |
| Gift of Life is constantly begging blacks to donate because so few of them do. | |
| And donations within the same race are so much more likely to be compatible. | |
| It's the same for bone marrow transplants. | |
| There are constant appeals for more diverse donors because race is often the crucial factor in a successful match. | |
| And also because non-whites are less willing to donate. | |
| And let us not forget Bidil, the first heart medication marketed specifically for black patients. | |
| It works on blacks, but not on whites. | |
| took the advice of the AMA and Stanford and ignored race, it would be malpractice. | |
| But let me give the last word to Scientific American. | |
| Already in 2013, it was showing real Stasi-type zeal in an article called Should Research on Race and IQ Be Banned? | |
| Well, you can imagine what the answer was. | |
| John Horgan, who wrote the article, is a big fan of diversity. | |
| But he has a wicked sense of humor. | |
