Lowering the Bar for Ethnic Minorities 'Threatens Lives & is a Recipe for Civilisational Suicide'

- In this clip from her #NCFWhittle interview, Heather Macdonald, award-winning journalist and best-selling author of "When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives" explains that racial disparities and black underachievement are caused not by racism but, rather, by a skills gap.
She notes that in America, racism is the sole explanation for the under-representation of black people in any field. She also notes that because, on average, black people proportionally perform least well in admissions tests to university and medical school, these tests are discredited as "racist", even though they are marked by colour-blind computers. As a result, entry requirements are lowered and tests are even abandoned. This inevitably leads to a decline of quality and expertise which, in the case of medicine for example, will threaten lives.
Arguing that diversity quotas are anathema to meritocracy, she says that continuing this approach will bring down institutions and is a recipe for civilisational suicide.

Thick is thick...it doesn't matter how you sugar coat it, lower the standards, you lower everything.
We're living in sick, sad times of dumbing down instead of building up. The wicked left are running the country.
Yes, but saying it will cost you your job these days.
Stephan Molyneux was cancelled years ago for expressing these thoughts.
@@jimsimpson1006 Let all the affirmative action supporters have their affirmative action heart surgeon and pilot....Grading on skin colour, rather than merit, is in itself racist. Because someone who got into a course on fake grades will never cope once in the course, will need to have test results lowered for them to pass, and then they can't cope once in the job....and they end up the racist ones. Because whites had to be brighter, work harder and be better all round in order to pass.
Man has always strive to improve and get better. They will definitely slow this process down

It is precisely racist to measure blacks against lower standards. In SA this is happening in every facet of society to the detriment of economic, technical, scientific development. Everybody loses. You are so right Madam.
So very true, indeed! (BBBEE)...
You call it out. Please keep exposing this insight.
Consider the poor performance country by country of black African countries over the past 50 years.
SA should be a warning to America, this is what you will become if you continue down this route.
Maybe if the British did not treat the zulus like shit, this would never happened? The British see themselves as a choose “race” to spread there heresies (liberalism) around the world.
I once worked with a black who supposedly went to Cambridge and then passed our professional qualifications. But, didn't even understand the basics of the job. His standard of written English was appalling and his attention span was poor. But, he was driven to be 'top dog' in terms of output for the prestige. His work did not stand up to scrutiny but he was just oblivious to criticism, such was the confidence he had in himself. He was also not a team player in helping run the department. If this is typical in this modern 'dumbing down' process to achieve equality of outcome then we are doomed in terms of standards of excellence.
I think it’s known as the ‘Dunning Kruger’ effect, whereby individuals believe themselves to be much smarter than they actually are. In a way, you can’t blame them when they are told how wonderful, brilliant and amazing they are, in the absence of any objective standards. They’ve literally been brainwashed to believe it.
They often lie and commit fraud to get what they want. We don't call them out.
Ivy league and red brick universities are mostly made up of dumb people with money. If only the smart went there these institutions would be broke in a heart beat. These places are first and foremost businesses and they're not there to create excellence but rather to sell the illusion of prestige.
Not necessarily anything to do with his race, I have come across plenty of people from other groups that had the same attitude.
If it were only race-based "affirmative action" it wouldn't be so bad. But it happens with women as well. Universities are so eager to accept and give qualifications to female students that young women are being sent out into the workforce with CVs that lead one to expect excellence, but who turn out to have the sort of education level you would expect from a school-leaver.
After hearing this can you imagine the standard of education in the UK within 10 years???
A scary thought indeed.
It’s bad enough now
It's existed in the UK for over 20 years, it's just never been promoted with a label like "Affirmitive Action."
It was only put into law in 2010 with the ironically named "Equality Act."
About the level of the first cavemen.
Trouble is the uneducated breed like rabbits which is fine IF they can be given apprenticeships in trades etc. But that idiot Bliar preferred to import east Europeans and Sunake is going to the same....
Yep, she’s 100% correct & it’s contagious, this insanity has gone global 😢
Only in recently white countries. The Anglosphere and Europe. All designed to hobble and destroy those territories.
I don't think the insanity has gone fully "global" and countries like China and Russia are clapping their hands in glee at the insanity of the "advanced western countries " ( & of course China has "gifted" TikTok as a help the West along with its insanity gesture. )
Only in white Western European countries or their offshoots.
Lowering standards is an insult to those who study hard, it’s the same when you play the numbers game, it victimises against those more worthy of the position due to hard work.
Look at what is happening in South Africa to see where this is heading.
Heading? Long ago headed!!!
Agree totally... SA has gone right down the tube
They killed off the white farmers, took over the farms and now they are all starving.....and now they are begging the white farmers to come back and work for them.
Headlong into oblivion! Because weve got greedy idiots in power positions.
And now they're begging the very people they hate to come back and save them.

I wonder how many will die when they go to hospital.
She's completely correct, but 90% of politicians and bureaucrats are themselves innumerate, so they just don't understand the argument.
Correct .. at least half of parliament are extremely low tier ethics and intelligence .. unfortunately many are women, especially labour, who were shoehorned in as activists starting during Tony Blair era.
90% of politicians couldn't define innumerate.
@@onusgumboot5565 Or pronounce it properly.
I attended an X Ray appointment at my local hospital 2 weeks ago and I was introduced to a black radiologist called Derek who was said to be qualified. His Mentor rolled her eyes but not directly to me. Derek took me to the camera and told me in conversation that he was newly enrolled and seemed very nervous and not confident and fumbled with the adjustment of the camera. This "qualified" person had to be shown by his mentor how to take a simple x ray of my scapula! 😂
Sadly, the couple of black people I have worked with were lazy and took significantly more than twice as much time off as others. They immediately called anyone who complained about their refusal to pull their weight 'racist'. I don't blame them. It's the system we created.
In the 1990's I worked for the government. There were three (3) black coworkers: two Americans and one person from Uganda, guess who was the best employee, rarely took day off and was the most productive? The man from Uganda. At lunch, he would shake his head about how those particular coworkers were even hired and if lived in Uganda would be unemployed living on the street.
@@AxllsFly yes, black underachievement and laziness is not racial, but cultural. And a sub culture that we have allowed to grow unchecked in western countries.
Colleagues.
Hate that ugly 'murican word "co-workers" 🤢
Thomas Sowell, the 93 year old black American economist is worth checking out.
Thomas Sowelltv on TH-cam
Yes, indeed. Dr. Sowell was educated well before the era of affirmative action.
Lowering the standards for attending college doesn't help blacks in any way. The root cause of this problem lays in the K through 12 education. How can you expect students to perform well in college when they can't even do basic reading, writing or even basic math?
Not actually the root cause. Whenever there's a signif𝜄cant gap in av𝜖rage IQ among different human gr𝜊ups there will NOT be equal outc𝜊mes in perf𝜊rmance in tasks requiring abstract reas𝜊ning.
They are lowering standards here in the US for TEACHERS and these diversity hires STILL can't measure up. So they change the curriculum by blaming the lesson plans/tests as being steeped in rAciSm. Getting so sick of all this bs.
We know for a fact that 70% of black students in Californication, who have 'graduated' high school read at the grade 3 level.
In addition, all of the schools in the city now called Baltimurder have a history of abysmal failure.
One of the students in Baltimurder - and he was just an example of many - was 'gradumacated' with a GPA of 0.03%. Which essentially means that in the entire skool yeer he showed up a total of 3 times and was awarded for this attention to his edumacation!
This from a school which declares its logo to be 'Pride Inside' but neither the teachers, the vice-principal, or the principal appear to have any pride at all.
Nor does the district superintendent, who literally makes close to 400,000 dollars per year!
Yes, I spelt a few words wrong on purpose - like the student when asked by the police where he was born proudly stated 'in Clivlan.'
*the root problem lies in ... (Unless the root problem is a chicken, of course.)
@@Canto28 Braun wrote an essay, many years ago, published in American Renaissance, that the blacks had absolutely zero abstract reasoning. Not to mention morals, which were also lacking.
Sure as shit that book wont be in the window of Waterstone's sharing space with How to Argue with a Racist and My Two Dads. But it's one desperately needing to be read by every legislator in the West, along with Nigel Biggar's book.
You can only legitimize a complaint against Affirmative Action, if your case is framed as putting Black lives at risk.
The unfairness, disrespect, and abuse endured by Wts must never be mentioned, or your case will lose credibility.
It’s almost as if you are talking about the UK’s Ministry of Justice lowering the standards required to become a judge. In an attempt to improve diversity it will soon be possible for legal executives to be eligible to sit as judges in the Crown court. So no A Levels, no law degree, no publillage, no calling to the bar, no experience as a barrister - all you need to be is the correct shade on a Dulux colour chart.
This just kills any value or merit that's been achieved through hard work.
Now you're looked at as an even more hated charity case.
Thanks BlackRock WEF
The left cannot comprehend merit, the filth is too obsessed with melanin and whats between your legs
It's no less pernicious than corruption and nepotism...it will destroy our culture and economic success within a couple of decades...
I respect the publisher for putting this book into print. I suspect some were too frightened to go near it, requiring a safe space to recuperate after the trauma of being severely triggered by such a request.
Heather Macdonald is very good
High standards have always been frowned upon and resented mainly because it involves hard work. Society is finding all aspects of society are being dumbed down.
Ever since Blair standards in the UK have fallen dramatically, you cannot lower standards just to pacify certain people who are intellectually challenged😮 All this ridiculousness needs to stop!!😮
Skin colour aside, what happened to the best person for the job?
It resulted in fewer blac𝜅s doing the job so that practice had to go.
They tried that, but blacks failed to get any decent, high paid jobs, hence racist. 🤣
Agree
I could not agree more! Excellence and standards are being tossed out of the window like rancid popcorn or washed-out confetti.
This will prove to be disastrous. Mark my words!
Listening to Air Traffic Control (ATC) talking with pilots. As the communications fell apart and the ATC operator lapsed into what I can only call 'domestic abuse lingo', pilots commented 'this is what you get with affirmative action'. It was decidedly unsafe. I think the ATC operator lost their job.
Just one example. Went into a famous department store in central London a couple of weeks ago. I asked some simple questions of a whole bunch of people who were of ethnic background. None of them had a clue. Then went to the indigenous background person, and he was able to tell me everything. This has happened in several stores I've been to. The others are there for window dressing. They must be costing these companies a small fortune.
Imagine giving someone reparations that can't do basic math.

Well said. When standards are low for certain race, it actually backfires when their own race are not confident of their capability.
You will never get excellence or outstanding people, care, inventions, teachers etc etc if you bring everyone to the lowest common denominator. If some people can't hack education, teach them a trade. If they can't hack that, you know that they are not capable of living in a civilised society. Maybe they should get special needs status. Colour is irrelevant, unless of course a pattern is emerging, but even then those who are capable should be able and free to pursue their interest. Merit tops colour [as being said in the video].
Agree
There are countries in the world that will not put up with this crap. They will start to become the leaders and the pioneers. This will put everything years behind. The obvious will be, well, obvious. We will maybe end up with segregation again and in a way it's never really gone away.
The thing is, few are capable of a profession or trade, but even more depressing because they often have an appalling attitude menial work is beyond them too. So what's left...crime. Isn't this a pattern we see across the globe? It's time we faced the truth, they're just not designed for life in the civilised world. The same problems emerge generation after generation and we're deluding ourselves if we think things will ever change.

Thank God. Some semblance of rationality creeping into the light.

apparently not but you're allowed to acknowledge that all the fastest 100 metre runners are black / afro carribean i.e. you can talk about possible "bell curve" racial differences when it suites the mainstream narrative - anything else & you're a nazi
Hasn’t IQ testing been outlawed?
No, bro. You must not mention IQ. 🤣
The truth that dare not speak it's name.
It's not all to do with IQ ... it's bad home life, absent fathers etc.
When you live your life as a victim, blame everyone else for your life situation and take no responsibility for making positive life choices, then you will always be “oppressed” not just in the physical world but also in the intellectual world. Meritocracy raises everyone, lowering any standard to the lowest common denominator is not the way forward. Reward effort not victimhood.
We see this in UK politicians too.
Yes - and especially the Labour ones.
Thank you, Heather. I am a public school high school teacher in an urban community. Thank you! Everything you are saying and writing is 100% correct.

Simple question, If you were an employer and you had two candidates, with the SAME qualifications, applying for the same job, but one black and one white, who would you employ?, knowing one of these candidates may have been "helped" with there education
Having seen the latest results from various trials, I can clearly see the results of lowering standards.
How a generation of middle class kids have been coddled, infantilised and betrayed are now wreaking revenge on the rest of us for perceived wrong doing.
Heather has been on the pulse for years now along with many others.
There will always be hewers of wood and carriers of water. That is the natural order of things.
"It was a white supremacist state"
What does that even mean? Nobody ever defines what it means.
There was a time when the UK was the centre of excellence in Medicine, not anymore. patients who could afford it used to chose the UK now they prefer Turkey, India and Iran. They have noticed the decline in standards
Most universities take foreign students before suitably qualified white ones because foreign students pay more or doctors are taken on by NHS because they have already trained abroad even if they can't even speak english and their qualifications may be bogus because they tick the diversity box. Why do you think we have so few white doctors? When my daughter applied to do medicine, she only got accepted as she already had a 2 :1 degree in Biomedical Science at a red-brick University with 3 grade As and 1 grade B at 'A' level. But 3 of her friends with 4 grade ' A' at 'A' level who applied immediately after 'A' levels never got accepted! White racism! But many foreign and black students with lower grades did! We have our own suitably academic white students who want to study medicine, but they can't get a place! That is why we have so few white doctors or medical staff now! Should give places to our own first provided they get the required grades, not foreignors!
Colour should not come into it.We should always pursue excellence.There will all ways be people who cannot achieve.I cannot be Quantum Physics expert!So what.We see universities doing this.This woman speaks the truth.
So, how long will it be before this approach to education leads to bridges collapsing, airliners dropping from the sky, or even carbon-fibre submarines imploding at depth?
I agree 100%. Everyone should Read this book.
In the early 1980's the gov said the black folk will get good jobs in the future due to their education but what happened was the Chinese students leap frogged the blacks to get all the best jobs and whose names are on all the scientific papers in the 21st century? Yes, they are Chinese folk as no Africans are on any scientific papers today. Proof is in the reading. What happened?
I TOTALLY AGREE, THIS OBVIOUS RACISM, DISCRIMINATION AND UNINCLUSIVENESS MUST STOP
If you set lower standards you are more likely to meet those liw stabdards. Unfortunately those low standards will become too high down through time, dumbing diwn the siciety.
I would argue those that set the low standards are already of a lower IQ than those from previous times!
When employed, people must prove themselves by continued success. When they don't, the company loses market share as we see in Budweiser through bad diversity choices and low IQ management
It isn't because black scholars are less intelligent on the whole, it is down to intimidation of the dumbest pupils onto the brightest who cannot defend themselves. The schools are entirely to blame for not identifying and segregating the brightest pupils and applying the correct education to the less able.
That's the best way I can put it without being too contraversial
They need to work as hard as everyone else 😤
It's more basic than having to work hard - she's making it clear that it wouldn't make a difference. You can't make bricks without straw......
Disparate Impact - by that standard all taxes would be frozen
I wonder if I will see that book on display at Waterstones.
the obvious answer is to find out WHY black kids are under-performing & try to address that rather than lower the standard for them which is unfair on the other kids - if its absent fathers, for example, then try to implement policies that attempt to encourage black fathers to stay with their families (although how you do that I have no idea as its probably a deeply rooted cultural issue)
Exactly ... Why is the pertinent question!
WHY is this OUR problem to solve? oh yes.....the continual importation of the third world into our countries against our will.
Perhaps we should ascertain why some groups underachieve in sporting events
The obvious answer is: they are not "under-performing" but are actually performing to their level. If the average IQ in Nigeria is 68 why would Nigerian children in British schools be preforming at the same level as British children when the average IQ is 100 in Britain? Just like British children wouldn't be performing at the same level as children in Hong Kong/Japan or Singapore where the average IQ is 106.
@@_MrAvocado_so why are Nigerians less cognitively blessed (but more athletically blessed) than Europeans?
They have been lowering standards since the '70's.
I left school when I realized a high school diploma meant I had an 8th grade education at best. They stopped teaching anything at about that grade and every year they just gave us the same 8th grade level classes.
I got frustrated and walked out one day, kept going until I saw the first help wanted sign and got a job. They asked if I graduated. I said yes, they didn't check, and I've been working ever since. I'll be 65 pretty soon. So it's been nearly 50 years. and no regrets about it either. School has been pretty useless once you can read, write, and do a little basic math. I don't think they even teach those anymore. So there's no point to it at all anymore.
I teach myself what ever I need to know. I admit though, that sometimes I wonder how much better at things like electronics, and woodworking I could be if I had a real teacher. Not that I totally suck at either one now. But trouble shooting an amp may be quicker if I had a teacher to show me the tricks of how to do it more efficiantly.
I taught for 36 years. Not all pupils are able to get to the top academically, but they can get to the top of their potential. What education should be doing is supporting pupils to do the best they can, to develop the abilities and talents they have.
Awesome video 👌. God bless you 🙏
I would think that simply applying. Common standard, the SATS tests, IQ tests, equivalent tests is the ONLY way to both treat individuals fairly, and as a very valuable by-product there would and should be the publication of the results, not by individuals, but by those subgroups. Follow the data, then build human and effective policies and test them for beneficial results. At present, we do NONE of this, and replace it with deliberate obfuscation, or it seems to be such.
Because human equality is a cardinal assumption of the dominant Western ideology
I'm happy to go on record and tell you all that in Britain we have positive discrimination in schools and students who shoukd be in set two are put in set one. But of course, that can only mean one thing. Some white kid who should have been in set one, ends up underperforming in set 2. What parent would put up with that? So when you're complaining about gender stuff, don't forget to investigate if your child is in the set they should be
Don't expect to see that interview on BBC any time soon. "Heading for Hell in a Handcart" sums up the West nowadays.
A 'joke' was circulating schools around 2008 that the hierarchy of hiring a teacher in South London was 1. Black woman. 2. Black man and white woman 3. White man. People said if you're a white man and any of the other 3 were short listed you may as well go home. Interviews then started to be conducted at completely separate times so you had no idea who you were up against.
Great summary of the problem. How much of this can society take?

Farmers have known for millennia that a weak ewe and ram would make for a weak flock if they breed. The best seeds from the best plants grow the best crops.
So why would the reverse make for a better civilisation?
Sometimed goes the other way. In Australia, entry into medical degrees was once entirely based on high school marks. However, Chinese students totally dominated and took virtually all the places. The doctor's union, which was still white got concerned their children would not get in so the entry procedure requirements were made to require rubbish like community engagement and comming from a rural back ground.
In the UK the representative proportion of the ethic groups is far higher than their percentile in the population. so, mathematically there must be a large amount of better qualified applicants turned away because of their race, that is where the racism is.
This has been known for centuries, right from the discoveries of the earliest explorers - look how people from the past, speaking from personal experience are being cancelled......

There is a reason i didn't apply to train as a doctor. I knew i would not meet the high standards set by the medical schools. I chose a career within my limits. Frightening that people might passing a medical degree who can't meet those standards 😢

See what happened at the 'Killer King' hospital in LA when they went full affirmative action on steroids...
I fully support meritocracy, and I would not challenge the colour blindness of the tests. What I would challenge is that perhaps many of those Black kids come from inner city areas, and attend inner city schools where perhaps THEY are the majority. Then possibly the schools are underfunded, and perhaps the teachers are not the best. Add into that a mindset brought from the inner city areas they live where.... We ain't never going to get a break, and you have a recipe for failure. It has nothing to do with the colour of the skin, or race per se, In the UK West African origin girl students are top of the academic score sheet. Its where you come from, it's the support you get, it's the aspirations of your community.
Can we start with amending the NLRA to exclude teachers from collective bargaining?
I agree with Heather on this and the UK doesn't seem so different in the institutional racism against the white English

It's a HUMAN aspect and factor to make choices. It's also a human aspect and factor to know who you are and where you feel best and at home.
This is the natural outcome of regarding sociology in all its political permutations (women's/black/gay/trans studies, etc.) as legitimate academic subjects with legitimate theses/conclusions.
So we had the Enlightenment which put us way above other continents, and now we're racing to see who can reach the bottom 1st to suit those less than us??? WTF!!!
It would be nice to think that the future world would be a much saner world than the past but this seems to be untrue.
I would be insulted if anyone thought that I was incapable to get on in the world without help.
The schools have to have objective testing for advancement starting in grade 1 or before. Kicking bad teaching down the road for tweleve years is a betrayal of any child put to the next grade without the skills.

It's sad that this is most certainly happening, and to theirs and everyone else's detriment
It is a fact that there was extreme racism and systematic discrimination against Blacks in America until about 60 years ago. In a country where systematic racism was present and fully active within peoples life times you can't rule out prejudice and discrimination in the selection process even today.
In the case of India where caste based discrimination was prevalent. Quotas were brought in to ensure the representation of the marginalized communities because otherwise it is highly likely that they won't be selected due to the prejudice towards these groups.
So, groups who were historically discriminated against like African Americans and Native Americans have a right for quotas. But, other minorities don't.
Quotas should be applied before the interview process after the written tests because that's where discrimination is likely to occur.
One solution might be to bring in schools and colleges exclusively for black students, that way they will (if they stay the course) graduate from high school and get a degree but not hold back civilisation or non-black students...which is arguably one and the same
My question is, why are Black children not achieving like their peers? Could it be their home life?
Children who are born into dysfunctional highly traumatized societies whose fathers are nowhere to be seen and who are fed junk food regardless of ethnicity will be at an intellectual disadvantage compared to other groups. In order to compete it would serve them well to resort to dominance through violence and coercive bullying in order to claim territory and find mates.
The tragedy of that is when people learn this they will not go to a Black doctor, as it will be assumed they will not have to skill to do a good job.
I agree with what she is saying, and I see it my self in society in society. But it does beg the question why is it happening ? If you were to follow the money - who is benefiting here.
The truth can be uncomfortable for those whose way of life is based on civility, decentsy, and values derived from Christianity. We unfortunately are not born equally. We can only try to make our fellow human beings better off, capatalism has achieved this for those that wish to participate. The notion of equality is a delusion to all of us who have the capacity to think critically, and not be swept away by the tides of social influence.
Set lower standard for all get a slower level of progress in many areas. Result other countries become more advanced leaving the UK trailing behind. Maintain a higher level of education get a better understanding of modern technology and better progress. Matching other countries.
Therefore we all come down to that level.
