You'll be shocked by the historical perspectives on immigration and intelligence from the early 20th century, highlighting concerns about the impact of Southern European, in particular Southern Italian immigrants ,on the average intelligence of the American population. These perspectives prompt us to question the validity of generalizations based on race or nationality and to consider the complexities surrounding discussions on social intelligence and immigration.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?

Because we are a nation built on Anglo supremacy, 26 generations of dualgenocide & #USapartheid on wider IBPoC ppl. Ital's weren't white till after Sat nite fever & before Pulp Fiction.
Somewhere online I saw a short article from about 100 years ago where some city council voted 100% not to use Italian laborers for any works projects. I believe it was in Louisiana but I'm not 100% sure. I also read an article from a newspaper published in a town near Pittsburgh, PA, in which an Italian man went up to a police officer to ask directions and the cop beat him over the head and left him lying in the street. He was in the street bleeding for about 45 minutes before someone helped him get up. If I can find those again, I'll post links.
Even Northern Italians looked down on Southern Italians.
The Italians in the North of Italy are wealthier, better educated than southern Italians. The Renaissance occurred in Northern Italy. The land itself is more productive. Southern Italy has long been poorer. Lesser productivity in the land particularly. When Italians first began to migrate to the US, the illiteracy was markedly worse in southern Italians. The middle parts of Italy were better off than the south and not as well off as the north. Italians tend to think of themselves as members of their local community much more than of Italy as a whole. Venetians, Romans, Neopolitans, and Palermitani rather than Italians. The first generations of Southern Italian immigrants were very hostile to schooling, seeing it as a threat to family cohesiveness. In Southern Italy, people actively resisted government schools when they were begun. Attitudes changed over time, but generations were needed. Italians were the most likely to return to Italy, and many came back with new ideas, like an improved appreciation of education.
@@joanhuffman2166 It seems to me that you don't know the difference there was between the Northwest and Northeast regions of Italy. The latter were even poorer than the south of Italy and their people were always the first to emigrate. A friend of mine from Veneto told me that they were called "the Terroni of the North."
Italians had advanced civilization in art, music, science, architecture, engineering all the while Anglo-Saxon were living in mud huts and wearing loin clothes.
Exactly, inferior my ass.
they were early adopters of advanced farming techniques.
Italian's have always been on the same level or above as the rest of Europe. That was a strange time.

Joseph-Louis Lagrange, the noted mathematician, was another great Italian. That's right. Name at birth: Giuseppe Luigi Lagrangia.
The Immigration Act of 1924 was also enacted to keep out Jews. As a result, thousands, if not more, of Jews were not able to take refuge in the United States during the Holocaust."Most notoriously, in June 1939, the German ocean liner St. Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish, were turned away from the port of Miami, forcing the ship to return to Europe; more than a quarter died in the Holocaust."

I went to school in the 50s & 60s and was the middle child of a large Italian (South) American family. Both my mother who went to public school speaking no English and my Italian born step-father spoke English as a second language. I had to learn to speak Standard English in school.
In the 1950s there was a social Darwin educational tracking. Grades were always given on a norm distribution. I can still remember the day a very nice woman who I now realize was probably the school psycologist took me out for some special tests. What I most remember is her praising me for "having a good memory." I am not sure what year in elementary school I was tracked into the "smart class." The teachers would tell us we were the smart class to pump us up. I never felt so smart because Jerry who always got 100% on everything had his papers held up as the standard.
I was at a distinct disadvantage in the "American cultural" experience because we were raised in the "Italian" cultural ways. None the less one thing that was expected of us was to work hard and to be successful.
I really believe now I started behind and like a turtle in a race with the hare, I had to plug away to win the race. I got my Bachelors and then went on to get a Masters. It was only later in the past 10 years did I realize had done very well on The Graduate Record Exam . My exam scores were in the very high range. I essentially had picked up all the "American Cultural Language experience and information from being a good student. My public school scores were above average but no where NEAR Jerry's. LOL
As an older adult I have been trying to learn Italian. It was then I realized I had actually picked up all the Italian idiomatic language that was not considered acceptable Standard English writing or speaking. I had to unlearn those patterns to be considered "educated’. For example, it took me some time in Junior & SR high school English to learn to not use and write with I THINK or I FEEL which are a common pattern in Italian to distinguish the subjective from the objective expression in Italian. Italians REALLY REALLY REALLY like using the word really. You cannot imagine how many REALLIES I had circled in my high school writing classes. Double negatives are also a feature of Italian. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.
My family is from the South in Italy and I am brown during the summer. When I was growing up (50s, 60, into 70s) I don't know how many times I was asked what my nationality was by the "real Americans." I think it wasn't until the middle 1970s that I quit answering that question that I am Italian with instead, "Do I have an accent? I was born in Seattle. I am American." This is not to say that Italians are any less TRIBAL than any other ethnic group. That is another story!
Much rather have a beautiful mocha skin tone than a cadaver look, remember if you are brown you have been around, nothing like a beautiful tan on a human body, beauty pageants always have a winner that has the best tsn, summertime the tanning company's give out money and prizes who had the most glowing tan, not the Pinkett, think about it lol😅 6:19
Bellissima storia, ed è verissimo che usiamo "really" e "i think" continuamente. Da quale parte dell'Italia sono arrivati i tuoi genitori?
So having an accent means ur not American? Nice...
@@juanmccoy3066 No, it means I speak with an American accent and was not born some place else. The 'real Americans' (/s) who were asking my nationality were tribal and focusing on my olive complexion, my black hair and my non Northern European last name. My point was STOP ASKING my NATIONALITY when it is OBVIOUS that I was born in the USA! They were not sure what TRIBE I belonged to. If you have an accent (and are AN AMERICAN) they probably already believe you are not in their tribe and will NOT ask you such a dumb question. 🙂

The Italians, during the Roman Empire, contributed significantly to the world through numerous advancements and cultural influences. Some notable examples of their contributions include:
1. Architecture and Engineering: The Romans revolutionized architecture and engineering, developing techniques such as the use of concrete, arches, and domes. Iconic structures like the Colosseum in Rome and the aqueducts that supplied water to cities are enduring testaments to their architectural prowess.
2. Law and Governance: The Romans introduced the concept of codified law and established a sophisticated legal system that heavily influenced Western legal traditions. Their legal principles, such as the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial, laid the foundation for modern legal systems worldwide.
3. Language and Literature: Latin, the language of the Romans, served as the precursor to the Romance languages and has left a significant impact on various languages, including English. Roman writers like Virgil, Ovid, and Cicero produced enduring works of literature, with Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid" becoming a classic.
4. Road Networks: The Romans constructed an extensive network of roads, known as the "Viae Romanae," connecting their vast empire. These roads facilitated trade, communication, and military movement, establishing a precedent for efficient transportation systems that would be emulated in later civilizations.
5. Aqueducts and Sanitation: Romans were pioneers in engineering aqueducts, which brought clean water to their cities, ensuring a more sanitary living environment. They also implemented advanced sewage systems, such as public toilets and drainage systems, improving public health and hygiene.
6. Art and Sculpture: Roman art and sculpture drew inspiration from Greek styles but developed a distinct aesthetic, characterized by realism and grandeur. Famous sculptures like the iconic statue of Augustus of Prima Porta and intricate mosaics showcased their artistic prowess.
These examples represent just a fraction of the countless contributions the Romans, who were predominantly Italians, made to the world during their extensive reign.
In addition, the contributions made by Italians in various fields have been immense and influential throughout history. Da Vinci and Michelangelo are two iconic figures who left an indelible mark on the world of art and science. Leonardo da Vinci's artistic genius and scientific curiosity produced iconic works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, while his sketches and inventions laid the foundation for future scientific advancements. 😊😊😊 Viva Italia.
Similarly, Michelangelo's masterpieces, such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the sculpture of David, revolutionized the world of art and continue to inspire generations. His sculptural technique and ability to capture human emotion set new standards for artistic expression.
In the realm of literature, Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy, remains a seminal work of Italian literature. Dante's vivid depiction of the afterlife and exploration of moral and theological themes have had a lasting impact on Western literature and philosophy.
In the field of music, Giacomo Puccini is celebrated as one of the greatest opera composers. His compositions, including La bohème, Tosca, and Madame Butterfly, are renowned for their emotional depth and melodic richness, shaping the operatic tradition and captivating audiences worldwide.
These are just a few examples of the remarkable contributions made by Italians throughout history. From art and science to literature and music, Italian culture has enriched the world with its creativity, innovation, and passion.
The Renaissance had many geniuses from Italy
Not to mention the Roman Concept of Republic The Government answers to the people

Danielle…living well Is the best revenge. All of my uncles were college educated, with advanced degrees in medicine, law, mathematics and engineering. First generation sons. They all served in WW II. So screw them. They all went on to educate their children and thus the ascent of societal ladder. I’ve been to Italy about 10 times and we definitely could learn how to chill out a little bit in USA. I could tell you a story that is almost unbelievable. Our Italian family triumphed.
I absolutely loved this! I feel the same about my family. They were never victims and always persevering…And regardless of the bumps in the road, America has been great to my family. ♥️
@@nytn it’s the struggle in life that makes the triumph all that better. I was so lucky to have had a strong family, never complained about this nonsense, we just did what we had to do. My parents were the best. Good luck to you, you seem like a fair and interested person.
Everyone is biased in relation their their own family background. These videos are ultimately from the perspective of someone with a mixed background. Nobody seems to be able to explain why everyone insisted on migrating to the Anglo country and not the Mestizo country to the south where presumably they would not be tortured and terrorized as these videos imply.
@@josephinetracy1485 My videos dont imply that at all. I say over and over how much I love and appreciate America. She is the greatest nation in the world. But not above improvement. My point is that the division we see along "Black" and "White" here in America is a false division, as we can see the definition of white and black has changed over time, quickly and very recently.
@@josephinetracy1485 Because that's where they wanted to be..in the USA. PS...in the 1950s and 1960s it was tough to immigrate to USA. Many families immigrated to South America....Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela. The USA was not accepting too many southern Europeans.
Growing up in North America, it was more or less implied through inference to my kid brain that there was this immovable, immutable truth that Black, White, Native, and Asian were scientifically-set groups that all people were divided into. After meeting people from around the world in university, then travelling to some far off places, it started dawning on me that the narrow idea of races were a construct. And it was very liberating, since I'm mixed and have been treated as a kinda "not good enough" person to fully fit in with, or be accepted by either of my groups. I'm different, and that's absolutely fine with my Creator.
I couldn’t agree more! It’s very freeing to just be who you were made to be….and let that be enough:)
@@nytn Thanks beautiful sis. I still have to remind myself I'm okay sometimes when I get treated crummy. It does take some work to remind myself that the truth sets us free and that feeling of being unburdened is from the Creator. And the other stuff is untruth. My bro keeps telling me "surround yourself with life-giving relationships." So that's what I set my sails and rudder toward.
@@rocketreindeer I always say that! the truth sets us free. And hopefully the more we know about ourselves, the more we can love our neighbor. So glad to have a kindred on the journey with me! Hope to hear more about your journey in the future.
@@nytn It is so nice to meet you. I can't believe your channel exists, it's so great. I just found it by accident somehow. I also have braids. I don't know if you've ever heard of the idea we carry memory in our genes? It partly comes from Carl Jung's theory of the Genetic Collective Unconscious. I was adopted at birth and had dreams of traditional legends and teachings from my Indigenous side that I had no firsthand teaching about. Long story. When I was trying to figure out who I was when I was younger, I was praying and "the truth will set you free," kept going through my head for some reason. Later, I met this lady (also about half Indigenous) who was doing outreach to adoptees and she had been an adoptee also. Every time I tried to talk to her, I would burst into tears and could not speak. This went on for about 40 minutes. She just sat with me and kept saying to me, "the Truth will set you free. The truth will set you free." She was very traditional and really helped me, then and when I was actually able to get out words. We're all born with a drum from the Creator. And we need to validate each other. Thank you so much for listening to your drum and speaking. I appreciate you. ❤
Ah. Sounding quite woke. So what do you mean by race is a construct? Are you saying an Indonesian has the same genetics as a Hungarian?
Should IQ even be an issue of concern? People treating others with respect and compassion would solve most human-caused problems, imo.

And now Anglo Saxons have surpassed the Italians in innovation and modern technology.
@@AJ-nd4nk Yep. They have since 1600, but I doubt that our Med supremacist friend will give them any credit.
Just to clarify as someone from the Nordics; only 5 countries in the world are in the Nordic region. That is Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. So none of the other countries you mentioned are Nordic whatsoever. Plus Holland is not the name of the country, Holland is instead a part of the name of two regions in the Netherlands (Amsterdam is in the two Holland’s). So the country is called the Netherlands in today’s day and age, not Holland.
Highly interesting video but I just wanted these things to be known :)
Thank you! I appreciate this so much.
It’s not so much Nordic, but rather the idea of Northwestern Europe. I think it was at the time of the late 19th century immigration scare, that Americans made a case for only admitting Northwestern Europeans. I saw a map of Europe once with a diagonal line through it. You end up with the Scandinavians, North Germans, Norman France and the British Isles. This area was also predominantly Protestant. Catholics were generally second class immigrants from any country.
Nature communication y chromosome report of male European (including Italians)

Large-scale recent expansion of European patrilineages shown by population resequencing
Chiara Batini, Pille Hallast, …Mark A. Jobling Show authors
Nature Communications volume 6, Article number: 7152 (2015)
Abstract
The proportion of Europeans descending from Neolithic farmers ∼10 thousand years ago (KYA) or Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers has been much debated. The male-specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY) has been widely applied to this question, but unbiased estimates of diversity and time depth have been lacking. Here we show that European patrilineages underwent a recent continent-wide expansion. Resequencing of 3.7 Mb of MSY DNA in 334 males, comprising 17 European and Middle Eastern populations, defines a phylogeny containing 5,996 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Dating indicates that three major lineages (I1, R1a and R1b), accounting for 64% of our sample, have very recent coalescent times, ranging between 3.5 and 7.3 KYA. A continuous swathe of 13/17 populations share similar histories featuring a demographic expansion starting ∼2.1-4.2 KYA. Our results are compatible with ancient MSY DNA data, and contrast with data on mitochondrial DNA, indicating a widespread male-specific phenomenon that focuses interest on the social structure of Bronze Age Europe.
Introduction
Controversy has surrounded the origins and antiquity of the people of Europe, focused on the proportions descending from Neolithic farmers originating ∼10 thousand years ago (KYA), or from earlier Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers. Early studies observed a European SE-NW cline in classical gene frequency data which was ascribed to demic diffusion of farmers1, or, in an alternative view, to the first Palaeolithic colonization2. More recent autosomal genome-wide SNP data sets reflect current population structure3,4 and admixture during the last 3,000 years5, but have provided little insight into older population processes.
Most debate on European prehistory has been stimulated by analyses of uniparentally-inherited markers. Spatial patterns in maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are non-clinal, with age estimates of haplogroups (hg) taken to suggest a major Palaeolithic contribution6. Analyses of diversity in the male-specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY) show significant frequency clines in major lineages7, and geographical distributions and dates based on short-tandem repeats (STRs) have led to interpretations of both Palaeolithic8 and Neolithic9 major components. The most frequent western European lineage, hg R1b-M269, was originally believed to have originated in the Palaeolithic10, but in more recent analysis was assigned a Neolithic origin11, a claim challenged in turn12 on the basis of STR choice and sample ascertainment. In general, dates based on STRs are problematic because of uncertainty about appropriate mutation rates, and possible long-term mutation saturation due to their stepwise mutation processes13. Palaeolithic dates for the major lineages are challenged by scanty ancient MSY DNA data, which suggest a marked discontinuity between 5-7 KYA and the present14.
A major cause of the controversy about MSY evidence is that unbiased estimates of diversity and time depth have until recently been impossible to obtain in large samples. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) generally offers unbiased ascertainment of MSY SNPs, providing phylogenies in which topologies inform about past demography, and branch lengths are in principle proportional to time, avoiding dating problems associated with STRs. Some insights have emerged from recent work15,16, but no systematic population-based NGS study across Europe has yet been undertaken.
Here, we use targeted NGS of European and Middle Eastern populations to show that Europe was affected by a major continent-wide expansion in patrilineages that post-dates the Neolithic transition. Resequencing at high coverage of 3.7 Mb of MSY DNA, in each of 334 males comprising 17 population samples, defines an unbiased phylogeny containing 5,996 high-confidence single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Dating indicates that ((three major lineages)) (I1, R1a and R1b), accounting for 64% of the sampled chromosomes,(the report is telling you that all white Europeans are related and originate from three men Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Adam,Seth, Enos..
Romans 1:7
King James Version
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:(sons) Grace to you and peace from God our Father, the Lord Jesus Christ. What group of people lived in Rome???
10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Have you heard about the outdated racial classification “Mediterranean race”. Deemed as a subgroup of the Caucasian race it consisted of various Mediterranean groups (Spaniards, Southern Italians, Sicilians, Berbers, Levantine peoples)
I should read up on that. I sometimes say Mediterranean 😂
Here's another one:
The Atlantid or North-Atlantid, as described by Eickstedt and Lundman, is recognised as having a pigmentation between the Nordic and Atlanto-Mediterranid stock of the Mediterranean. While the pigmentation of the eyes is light, the hair in contrast is brown. Commonly found in British, Irish, French, Germans, and Northern Italians.
The supremacists had to change a lot of their groupings when archeology began to show them up as not having created any of the earliest civilizations, but it was all done by "lesser whites" and the other "inferior races". So they changed who was included as "white" to rope in all the "Mediterranean race" and even added the Egyptians, Somalis, Ethiopians, Tutsi etc from Africa and people from the Levant and Middle East.
They claimed the Mediterranean race originated in North East Africa but wasn't black or white neither a mixture. They also claimed that Juws were a mixture of Mediterranean race and black race. Geeeeeez.
"Mediterranean race" never existed. As you said, It includes very different races of people. Spanish people are more close to Russians and Norwegians genetically than North Africans or Middle Eastern people.
I love your videos, Danielle. You do a fantastic job of taking the recently uncomfortable idea of race (generally, it used to be a topic Americans could talk more freely about), and showing how influenced it is, and has been, by culture, by the media, and by those in power, to manipulate and convince Americans many generations in, to look down on immigrants, whether they be Italians, Irish, African Americans, etc, and whatever constructs human beings have used through history to relate geographic identity with racial groups, and once that was done, to stratify us.
You're doing a fantastic job bringing up the nuance of this history.... and nuanced it was. Thank you for showing it in an intelligent and dispassionate way. The anthropologist in me finds it endlessly interesting.
Nate, I always appreciate your comments, thank you again :) . When Im reading and researching, I usually end up thinking about how the golden rule is the most straightforward yet difficult axiom for humanity: love your neighbor as yourself. Until we can, there are endless topics to be explored...
@@nytn Thank you for saying that. It's really nice when you find out another human being is on the same wavelength.. and even better when that wavelength is a *positive* one. Mentioning the golden rule reminds me of the anthropology-informed platinum rule (treat others how they would have themselves be treated), and how our short attention spanned culture has misinterpreted it and, along with assumptions and oversimplifications regarding race, ethnicity, and history, wound up in division, pain, and grief. Thank you for reminding me that our story is far from over, and continues to be written with each new day, with the actions we take, and how we treat every person we interact with.

Much of the basis for discrimination against the Irish and Italians was anti-Catholic bigotry. America inherited this bigotry from Protestant Britain and Northern Europe.

@@la.x-neverthedodgers I was expressing that anti-Catholic bigotry in America has it's roots mainly from Protestant Britain. After Henry Vlll, Catholic priests were murdered, Churches, monasterys destroyed, and Catholics had to take their religion under ground.

IQ tests are subjective, and based on information on academic and trivial levels (at best). IQ tests are also based on AVERAGES, so if you're IQ was 100, then that meant that you were AVERAGE!!! Any scores above it meant that you were more academically informed than the AVERAGE person, and any scores below it meant you were less informed than the AVERAGE person!!! Also, people are knowledgeable of certain things, but they lack knowledge on other things!!! As the saying goes: "The more you know, the more you know that you don't know."

As far as Italians go, I've always found it interesting how these Anglo Saxons claim Rome as a "white" civilization as a way to prove how they've always had advanced civilizations.

On similar topic, have you ever heard of or read about the “Mississippi Appendectomy” . This was practice done in several parts of the country of telling Black, Indigenous and poor White women the needed their appendix removed, but in truth they were STERILIZED, up to an including Hysterectomy. This was done because these Americans were deemed unfit to have children as they would in all likelihood be undesirable, and of low intelligence. I think it began in the 1920’s and went as far as the 1970’s ??? (fact check) . Fun Fact: The Nazis sited this as a reference they studied in committing their Atrocities.
Sometimes they pointed to the grades the children got in school as proof of so-called intellectual disability. What is interesting is that until relatively recently, many southern states used a different grading system than the rest of the country. It was a seven-point scale rather than a ten-point scale, so a 79% would be a D grade, rather than almost a B. Those children would have done very well under a ten-point scale, but the seven-point scale made them look like underachievers.
This is fascinating
This sounds familiar, I didnt recognize the name of this, but I was aware of a sterilization that was done without consent. I thought Margaret Sanger was a part of that but maybe she came after...
The Nazis borrowed eugenics, segregation, anti miscegenation, redlining, neo slavery, supremacist ideologies, mass population removal/land appropriation, manifest destiny (lebensraum) from the US. They had thousands of people over here learning how to be evil.
Then after we defeated them we took thousands of them to live among us.
My Great Uncles and my Grandmother didn't speak English until they went to school since their parents didn't speak it. At their school in the late 1920s, Italians had to sit in class and try to learn English while the kids that spoke Spanish went to Spanish speaking class half of the day. Two Uncles were kicked out in Kindergarten because they were speaking Italian and the teachers didn't know what they were talking about.
On a side note, my daughter took an IQ test and is 140+
I always thought Italians were always "white".
Not always. It depends on the Season. Summer / Winter.
Italians are white today but in the past when they first came to America they weren’t considered white
@@c.f.okonta8815 it’s an American issue. Italians are mixed. There are blonde ones, brown some you would say, they are North African. It depends. I live in Germany and I’m from Sardinia. It’s closer to Africa then to Europe.
In Germany no one is talking about “race”. The Nazis did back then, nowadays it’s racist to talk about “races”. We’re all humans and the difference is not in race, but in which climate zone your skin is adepted to.
Isn’t it?
They are.
@@Nbovfm11 Italians are no more mixed than Northwestern Europeans are. Even when it comes to Non-European ancestry, the average Italian has very little admixture from outside of the continent.
Being blonde and light-eyed also has nothing to do with "whiteness" since most white people have historically had brown hair and brown eyes, even before any foreign invasions had occurred.
Additionally, it was Mediterraneans who first called themselves white, not the pseudo-scientific idea introduced by the Nazis and early colonists that came much later.

When examining the IQ of different groups in the US, it is well to remember that Southerners of all colors had lower averages than Northerners. There are both cultural and environmental factors that can be blamed. If a child suffers from anemia, this can permanently dull his/her mental capacities. The South at the time of WWI still suffered from endemic malaria (two kinds) and hookworms. Poor nutrition can also impair intellectual capacities. Pellegra (B3 deficiency) has long been a problem among the poor of the South. B vitamin deficiencies particularly affect the mind.
Additionally, many places in the South only established public schools during Reconstruction. Traditions of academic excellence were rare in the South, and school quality was low for both races at that time.
I’ve read about the nutrition side and also the effects of walking barefoot and contracting various worms that affected cognitive abilities. I don’t know if it is legit though
@NYTN all of the B vitamin deficiencies have mental effects. Pellegra is niacin or B3 deficiency. The Indians traditionally add ash or agricultural lime to maize when they prepare it. The niacin in maize is chemically locked up. The addition of ashes or lime unlocks the niacin in maize. While maize was taken around the world and became a staple of the poor, the knowledge of nixtamalization did not go with it. Therefore, pellegra became an issue in many places.
The problem with hookworm is that it causes anemia. So, too, does malaria, whether plasmodium falciparum or plasmodium vivax. It is the episode of anemia that dulls the mind.
IQ is independent of schooling. My father scored 160 on a non cultural IQ test ( meaning most questions were based on geometry or mathematics ). He never finished high school. His first language was Italian.
@lucianomezzetta4332 As far as being independent of schooling, yes and no. Even if your father never went to school at all, he lives in a culture that has had literacy for thousands of years. Italy and Europe have had not only literacy but high level mathematics, philosophy, and so many skilled crafts. All of these things affect the culture, including how children are raised. Assessing the IQ of someone from a culture such as the Koi-San which have millenia of hunter-gathering and some herding but little farming would be much more challenging.
@@joanhuffman2166probably because it’s a high iq population
This worldview is still held against Hispanic people especially mestizos as well as people of mixed ancestry. Peace to all of you
Their countries are corrupt and violent. The only exception I can think of is El Salvador because of Bukele.
Sadly IQ is by far the best predictor of success,but of course there is exceptions to every rule. The IQ of Northern italy is Over 100 and it is one of the most prosperous places in Europe. In Southern Italy and Sicily the IQ is around 90. Could that be the reason for the economic divide between the north and south.? In Europe as a whole the Countries with the Highest IQ are the most successful.
I think that, as an Italian, Americans where justified to consider Southern Italians non-white. It's a historic truth. The South of Italy was invaded and colonized for centuries by North African Arabs and miscegenation happened. Even today, notwithstanding billions spent from the central government of Italy to better the place, the South of Italy remains appallingly underdeveloped. People there have no interest in beginning an enterprise, happily submit to mob rules, litter and destroy wonderful places who could attract million of tourists, and live on welfare almost always obtained on sketchy bases (fake invalidity, fake income tax returns) . To top all that they whine no stop about the government who do not give enough and fantasize about an inexistent golden past when they where independent from Italy who ruined it all.
@@banmadabon YES... THEY ARE WHITE, but the southern Italian mentality is what stops them from being successful. To be more specific Southern Europe is VERY WEALTHY compared to world standards. But Southern Europe whether it be S Italy, South Spain ,South France, Portugal are not as successful as the North and Yes, the IQs are lower. Most Italian immigrants to the US were from the south and they're achievements have been a mixed bag. On one hand Italian Americans make more than the National Average for whites. Italian Americans HAVE THE LOWEST RATE OF WELFARE/Public assistance use of any Race in the US . But Italians have the lowest rate of College graduates of any European ethnic group. The Order of the sons Of Italy has said . In America Italians have taken the easy way out. Instead of instilling the Idea of SUCCESS, like Jews and Asians Even smart Italian 3rd generation kids seem to be drawn to civil service jobs,and Construction trades that while they can give you a very good living they do not offer the same stature in society that Professions' do. I like your Comment. Sad But True,not the Usual BS of blaming others. I speak to my barber about southern italy all the time and he said that most of the Smart and handworkers have left. I believe him
The only predictor if success is how much you’ll sell your ass for. Metaphorically and not metaphorically.
@@banmadabon Arabs rule only Sicily for about 2 century or so, the other part of southern Italy were either under byzantine control or longobard (a germanic ethnicity ). Ok so Sicilians didn’t mix with Arabs and Berber because:
1. Sicilians were christian while Berber and Arabs were muslim
2. After the Norman conquest of Sicily, the Arabs and the berbers got expelled from the island, and Sicily was repopulated with peninsular southern Italians, northern Italians, Occitans, Normans, Bretons ect.
The White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) has always assumed superiority over all other peoples. They’re quite fond of themselves.
I cannot recall where I read it, but somewhere there is a statement that allowing immigration from southern and eastern Europe would result in a population that would be shorter in stature, darker in complexion, and more given to crime and sex immorality.
Many years ago my sociology professor told the class about a time he was asked to investigate a classroom in a public school where grades didn’t make sense compared to other classrooms. It turned out the teacher was assigning grades based on students’ last names.
Sexual immorality? Had they ever actually met Catholics from southern Italy?
Funny thing is that those WASPS are themselves a mixture of Angles, Saxons, Scandinavian and even some Celt and Roman.
Not to mention, when the Romans conquered Britain, Gaul and Germania, they saw the natives as barbarians.
I guess everyone wants to believe they’re better than someone else at one point or another. Some things never change.
THAT is scary. But unfortunately I'm not surprised.
It is no less racist to make a blanket statement about White Anglo-Saxon Protestants than it is to make it about any other race. Many of those WASP's gave their life in the Civil War to free Black slaves. This WASP has been married to a Hispanic man for 45 years and has White/Hispanic/Asian grandchildren. I don't appreciate the comment.
I guess the biggest part of the British gene pool are the Anatolian farmers who re-colonised Britain in the late Bronze Age! (See: Mass Migration into Britain in the late Bronze age).
Then there were the mixed Romans, Normans....
The "Anglo-Saxons" are largely an invention.
Most Anglo people have some degree of Mediterranean admixture in them too. The term is very outdated.
WHY compare yourself to an ENSLAVED group of people if you are so SUPERIOR?
Black people aren’t enslaved.
As they were administering those tests to poor, uneducated, non-English-speaking kids, had they completely forgotten about Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and so on? I mean, without even mentioning ancient Rome.
Their first thought was, how do we stop Italian immigration?
From an outsiders perspective, this is how Europa is broken down.
The west is the Anglo conquests around the world, the east is the spiritual/religious mother, the north/Scandinavian is your heart, the south is the philosophy.
Also, inferior is decided by what the test is about. Some are great at numbers, some are great at dissecting language. I think in some regards it’s actually a form of endearment, since we all our 99% the same, people get bewildered when somebody different can do something at a high frequency.
Insightful information. When you know who you are, you learn to question everything and in so doing begin to unlearn so many concepts and ideologies set in place by some deluded entities masquerading as authorities.
Well put👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Had the elders of a southwestern Amerindian tribe in the early 1920s made an I.Q. test based upon their knowledge of how to efficiently live well in a harsh wilderness area, then I'd bet that Anglo-Saxon types taking that test would have scored rather poorly in comparison to their "normal" I.Q. test scores.
Retarded.
It’s ironic because as far as I know, the data regarding IQ by country (whatever credence you want to give it) has Italy ranking as one the highest in all of Europe.
I think Italian art, literature and architecture speaks for it as well!
Intelligence quotient does NOT equal MORAL intelligence quotient. Italians, Spaniards & the Portuguese have had a better [thus stronger argument] when it comes to MORAL quality. Which, as a Catholic of 75% English & 15% Chinese Singaporean [an outright product of British colonization].
- American myself can see.
Proof? Churches, Schools & Hospitals are all over Latin America & the Philippines instead of the "hallmark" of brutal death & labor camps built by the Nutzee Germany in Poland etc.

well yh look at italian infrastructure & nigeria ... clear
When you see disparity you have to ask why. You have to read history. Southern Italy was under Spanish and French rule and were unfairly treated. They were taxed unfairly. Then when Italy became united the north didn't care about them. The south weren't given schools, hospitals, roads etc. The north was industrial, plenty of rivers and lakes. The south was dry. So when you say southern Italians were backwards, they were actually deprived of what they should have had. Rome and north Italy could care less about them, didn't give them what they had a right to receive so Southern Italians left for America the land of opportunity. In some villages only old people were left.
African Americans aren’t immigrants so please correct yourself!
They are the clue is in the name
Italians are smart in general
I’d like to think so myself ☺️
Testing bias still exists in America. Many of the questions in standardized testing still have cultural differences from what some minority cultures experience. Ive seen it myself looking at my kids homework and they are little kids. The questions arent as "objective" as you would think even in 2023
It is not possible to have a culture free test, any more than anyone can live a culture free life. IQ scores remain useful in predicting academic performance.
@@joanhuffman2166 yes there can't be a culture free test but that doesn't negate the fact that it could be biased against minorities or groups that have subcultures within the US. Some things can be left for "interpretation" on those tests more than they probably intend, even for someone born and raised in America. But when it comes to college entrance exams or standardized testing which is a requirement to pass grade school and high school, that bias can greatly affect those communities.
@Mickey10 JB the cultural factors don't change the fact that the tests do predict academic performance very well. The SAT and ACT are very good at matching students with schools where they will do better. It is affirmative action that results in the systematic mismatch of favored groups, which then results in lower performance, higher failure rates, and greater downgrading of degree types. In law schools, mismatching results in higher failure rates taking the bar. This is true even with students who have scores are good enough to match well at tier two schools. The tier two schools produce higher pass rates at the bar with students who have the same scores as compared to mismatched students at tier one schools.
See "Affirmative Action" by Thomas Sowell.
@@joanhuffman2166 from what I've read, ACT and SAT are only a small indicator of college success and sometimes there is no correlation at all. GPA is a more consistent and proven indicator. There are also other factors as well.
As far as affirmative action, by law a person still must be qualified. They aren't choosing unqualified candidates. They are meeting the standards of admission or the position. Also other groups such as women benefit from it. I think it doesn't paint a full picture of the disadvantages that these minority groups may face to say that their failures are due to affirmative action.
@Mickey10 JB affirmative action results in higher failure rates for the "favored". It also results in more frequent downgrading of degree plans, i.e., the student who planned on a chemistry degree has to downgrade to sociology. If that wasn't bad enough, other groups are systematically matched with favored individuals whose qualifications are inferior to their own. What insidious stereotypes that supports is only too obvious. While the percentage of individuals in the favored group who do match the top school is at a certain percentage, that percentage drops as the ranking of the school drops, and the mismatch grows wider down the rankings. GPA is of limited utility due to inconsistencies in school quality and inconsistencies in grading. Most people are unaware that the SAT and ACT were instrumental in combating quotas for undesired (by the university) groups (mostly Jews) in the past. Since racial considerations have been removed from the U of California admissions, actual degrees completed by previously favored groups have increased.
Thomas Sowell wrote a book called Affirmative Action. He examined affirmative action as practiced outside the United States. He investigated the intentions and compared them with the actual results achieved. His results are interesting.
It's pretty clear that a language barrier or less than fluent English most probably negatively influenced those test results.
not with me!
Interesting! There is definitely cultural bias there. Also, on top of speaking another language most southern Italians like my grandparents spoke the Sicilian language which is different than the standard Italian. There was obviously a political agenda behind the results of the test as you mentioned. I'm sure they didn't have ways of assessing cultural bias in tests at that time. They probably weren't concerned about it in 1922. Thanks for sharing the video!
I think my grandpa may have actually spoken a Sicilian dialect (language??) based on how I remember him talking...he always dropped vowels. I always meant to look into that. Thank you for sharing, Im so proud to come from strong, patriotic people~
@@nytn Thank you!
@@nytn I said language because I believe it is actually being viewed as a minority language now rather than a dialect. I'm not sure if it is official or not but from what I've been hearing there is enough of a difference to consider it a separate language.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those they tested were semi-literate or illiterate people from peasant stock (little to no education) who may also not have been proficient in English.
I think you are correct on the Sicilian connection. And I think that people had the idea that the more north your family was from, the more "pure" while the more south, the more "mixed". The borders of nations were not hard on the actual people and their ancestry/ethnicity. The further south you went, the more people were mixed with other people further south and east. Ancient and not so ancient people travelled and loved and procreated. People are still freaked out that there are "others" in their midsts.
Just look at what certain races have accomplished compared to others. Compare 1850 Europe to 1850 Africa.
As I recall, Sophia Loren was Italian and few have ever faulted her with a lack of intelligence.
Okay whatever but it is true though that southern italy is more violent and poorer than the north. I have Italian, Spanish and Irish ancestry so I have no reason to look down on my own background. Facts are facts.
Edit; Plus I'd like to say for those bringing the roman empire as an example or italy's greatest figures, they don't know that even rome itself received ton of inmmigrants from their provinces changing their genetic background, specially on the south, towards a more arabic phenotype. And italy's greatest artists were mostly from the north of what is now italy.
Not to bring any hate just sayin'. Good channel though.
It's hotter there ,hot climate causes aggression,plus they have more testosterone than any northern men
Leonardo Da Vinci, his father was Italian and his mother from the Middle East, Persian and he was one of the most intelligent men in the world.
Wow, they didn't even try to hide their bias back in the day, did they? I know today that public schools do not offer IQ tests unless there is a concern about disability. Even then, it is one of several tests and developmental factors considered when assigning a child services or special education. And there are subtests - I have a child that scored well into the 130s on one subtest, which would be impressive until you see he scored an 86 in another and then several subtests are all averaged in somehow. When I took an IQ test back in the 1970s (I'm old) I fell into the upper end of the "Dull Bright" range. In other words, I am stupid for a bright person. 🤔
Yep, and I have seen MY kids, first hand, vacillate between being absolutely genius and bombing tests, the same tests, on different days. Honestly, there are so many problems with giving kids tests, I dont know how much stock I put in any of that. Dull bright... oh my gosh, NO!😫
Are you old? I was given an IQ test in school in the early 1960's, I think it was the Stanford-Binet. No one asked my permission nor that of my that of my parents. I don't know why they gave the test or what they did with the results. I only know there was a mysterious folder for each child in the principal's office which we could never access. I did not know they stopped giving IQ tests routinely.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century some of them immigrated to the United States.
These first generation Jewish immigrants were classified as Hebrews regardless from where they came from.
They were given a really hard time in this Anglo Saxon protestant dominated society.
It wasn`t until the second and third generations that those people began to be accepted as Americans.
America has the worse record for the abuse of human rights in history.
Know-Nothing party, by the name of the American Party, U.S. political party that flourished in the 1850s. It was an outgrowth of the strong anti-immigrant and especially anti-Roman Catholic sentiment that started to manifest itself during the 1840s. A rising tide of immigrants, primarily Germans in the Midwest and Irish in the East, seemed to pose a threat to the economic and political security of native-born Protestant Americans. In 1849 the secret Order of the Star-Spangled Banner formed in New York City, and soon after lodges formed in nearly every other major American city. -Source: Britannica

well said! there is no Italian race, there is only an Italian culture, born in the 12th century with the literature of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, philosophical humanism, and Renaissance art
Its well known in Europe that South and North Italy is two different worlds when it comes to economy. Northern Italy has great industries and is known for quality. South Italy has a much different culture. The line goes around Rome. Too americans this is probably not a common knowledge. But this has never been tied to Iq.

Please send this to Rudy Giuliani and Ron DeSantis.
I recommend three books by Thomas Sowell; "Race and Culture," "Migration and Culture," and "Culture and Conquest." He examined cultural traits in various ethnic groups who migrated to various places in the world. So, for example, he investigated Italian emigrants not just to the US but also Argentina and Australians. He points out both the strengths and weaknesses of each culture. He points out that Italian youth had the lowest rates of delinquency (crime) of any immigrant group, but the worst truancy (school attendance) rates (at least in the early generations). He points out that it was Italians themselves who insisted on separate tracking of Northern, Southern, and sometimes even the middle Italians.
Italians had the lowest rate of family abandonment, the best savings rates, were the most likely to return, and were noted for not being the kind of people who spent money to show off. They were more likely to experience economic success in their own businesses rather than through educational attainment. Later generations did begin to value education more, but biographies of Italians who increased their education often discuss the emotional toll of feeling that they were betraying their family by pursuing education.

@@kudjoeadkins-battle2502 how so?
To think that 2000 years ago the civilized Romans (ancestors to the Italians) were calling Germanic peoples northern barbarians who were only good for pillaging and sacking cities. Names like the Vandals remained synonymous with delinquent. God changes people and their situation however he wants.
Yet these people conquered Rome and killed it.
The superiority of the Germanic race lies not in strength or IQ but in our ability to adapt. Yes we were barbarians but we learned from the Romans who were fundamentally weak and destroyed them when they started to decay by themselves.
It’s the Lombards (Longobards/Longbeards) who settled into Northern Italy and remain the elite of that country even today. The Alans and de Vandals (Wandels/Wanderers) who are the elite of Spain and Portugal and North West Africa. The Saxons/Angels and Frisians and Danes and Norwegians that became the upperclass of Britain and the USA and the Franks who became the ruling class of France and de Swedes and Geats who became the ruling class of Russia and Poland.
Al most all European monarchies simply have mostly Germanic blood as does the elites of these nations. Germanic people are in some aspects simply superior to other Europeans.

The Intelligence tests found that the group that made the test were the most intelligent! How surprising!!
This made me laugh out loud, too. 🤣
It’s always people on the wrong side of the bell curve that don’t believe the data, which in a way proves the data is correct.
I wonder how you’d fare if the test were carried out in French or Swahili.
Sorry but as an Italian 🇮🇹 the Nordics Scandinavians the Anglo Saxons and Germanics Aryans are all just better, it is what is, i can cry all i want but they are better.
I’m Italian and the study conduct in 1922 is true, southern Italians are less intelligent than northern Italians. Average iq of north Italy is 104, the average iq of south Italy is around 90 - 92 that’s a huge difference. The difference in intelligence is also very noticeable here in Italy in every aspects of life: healthcare industry school results and go on…
But yet the southerners have been building civilisations for 3000 years
The northerners didn’t even have the wheel until 500 years ago
This supposed difference has since been disproven by a subsequent study. It shows - if i remember correctly - a leap upwards of about 10 IQ points in southern italy, which calls previous testing methods into question. North and south are essentially the same..
This is my third in a day, so it seems you've got me hooked. I congratulate you again. Mix the intelligence with the language and the cultural influence on the intellectual climate of a group. There is a lot of self fullfiling prophecy around this issue. Prejudice practice breeds a lot of fear among those who practice the prejudice, meaning that however obvious it might seem to them, the prejudiced are not going to buy it as such, nor gladly. So instead of acknowledging the richness of knowing additional languages, they forbid under grave consecuences for the children, who are helpless before their teachers, the prevalence of their original language, out of fear. So the heavy calisthecnics of juggling the new and the old language, does not have any developmental consecuences for the intelect of the children? The new comers are intelectually castrated from developing their native language, together with the new, and the 'natives' are self castrated from the exposure of fresh cultural approaches to things, which they could' experience if they spoke additional languages.
The educated Latin Americans follow the European mold as ideal, in spite of going to American Univesities for graduate of even undergraduate formation. But they openly mock and deride the American framework of intelectual pattern and habits as very much blah. The scholarship level of European Scholars surpases in sophistication that of the Americans by leaps and bounds. Practically any intelectual Latin American and European professional is considered to have to be multilingual as a must. Americans take that as a sign for their complacency instead of the opposite. The IQing focuses on the most superficial aspects of the overall capabilities of the person, the so called intelect that responds to intelligence mainly, and most of all. The IQing is called psychometry, and goes all the way to college asmissions, to Harvard, for example, or the Bar exam. Georfrey Epstein and his brother were IQed Mensa brats and look at what went on with Geoffrey and not with his brother. I came across a legal treatise by an Italian legal scholar who in the translaion to his book on International Law writes down how glad he is for the translation because in that way it will get exposure in America, for no way the Americans are going to understand the Italian language he writes. Mockery for the whole world to see. Can you understand Giorgia Meloni when she speaks? That woman makes music when she speaks, I wish I could understand her.
Are you too old to learn Italian?
What about southern Italy being conquered by the moors.. there was race mixing hence the culture difference, skin tone eye color from northern Italians

@@DIFESA_RAZZA_BIANCAthe northerners are not racially pure either 😂😂😂
That was Sicily for 200 years. Then the Normans had a shot. But previous to that Greeks, Phoenicians , Romans.
Phenotype is not the same as racial belonging. A "nordic" and "italic" are subsets of the same race. Metrically they are very similar. Many racists back then wanted to disassociate the two, while others wanted to link them for sociopolitical reasons.
1:20 yes it isn't cut and dry I agree, but this doesn't imply that there aren't different averages which can be compared. The issue comes when on that slight differences racism and discrimination is constructed. Another point is that IQ tests just measure a sub section of intelligence. Intelligence is more as rows of numbers, pattern recognition or verbal capacity, although you can make statements on that measurements but these are incomplete. I wider and more complete test of intelligence would be necessary to give better statements or conclusions. Despite this valid critique IQ tests are one of the most objective and conclusive psychological tests/methods but this only valid when the test design reflected.
Have you looked at figures of the educational level, types of skills and work performed by the majority of migrants from different countries who came to the United States back in the early 1900s ?
If migrants from the nordic countries comprised more scientists, engineers, professionals, intellectuals, academics, industrially skilled industrial and craft workers with higher levels of schooling and vocational skills, whilst migrants from southern Europe, as well as British-occupied and oppressed Ireland mostly comprised farmers, farm workers, low-skilled general manual labourers, low-skilled industrial workers, then it could be expected that IQ tests of different ethnic groups in the United States would yield results suggesting that nordic migrants are intellectually "superior" than southern European and Irish migrants.
After all, the 1st Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 1800s and spread to Western and Nordic Europe, as well as North America, so did not spread uniformly across all of Europe, let alone across Asia, Africa and Latin America, with the exception of Japan, and like it or not, the people of more highly industrialised, scientifically and technologically-oriented countries tend to practice more systematic industrial, scientific and technologically-oriented practices and culture in their daily lives, than people in more largely agrarian countries who may practice more systematic industrial, scientific and technologically-oriented practices and culture within their industrial workplaces such as assembly plants just because it is a requirement of their management, without understanding and internalising the reasons for such practices.
At the end of the day, this IQ and Eugenics issue is a result of a migrant's class background, not ethnicity.
The funny thing is that the greatest advances of humanity such as mathematics, paper, writing, architecture, gunpowder came from the Middle East, Egypt and China, when the northern Europeans They were super white, they lived as nomads and gatherers.
I have traveled all over the world and have been on every continent on earth, except Antarctica, and I trust my own observations on race far more than I do anyone else's. Scholars, for example, very often lack the ability to observe the behavior of others objectively because they have grownup in a classroom and have never had nature as their teacher. Hence, they are shackled by the subjective teachings of others and thus they refuse to open their eyes and see things as they are. Bottom-line, there is no credible scientific evidence that proves all the races of man are inherently equal in intelligence. And the contention that they are is simply nonsense.
Your take on the difference between southern and northern Italians in IQ ranking nowadays has some mistakes that you should correct, mainly in relation to the standardized test presented by MENSA and reviewed by ISTAT. Given that the average IQ of an Italian citizen in Italy is of 102, there are regional differences, directly linked to eugenics, in the ranking assessments. For instance: the region with the highest average IQ in our country is Friuli Venezia-Giulia, mostly populated by Italians of northern European descent, whereas the lowest averages are found in Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Sardinia. The argument made by eugenists is that the fourth - to last region in IQ ranking (Sardinia) is really the one with the true lowest IQ in all of Italy... The link between that and eugenics stems from the development of the school system during fascism (our schools still operate within said system): since Benito Mussolini wanted to exterminate Sardinians, Sicilians and Campanians and replace them with northern european people, he purposely cut off the funds directed at the schools in those regions; these funds were set by Giolitti in the 1920's, during his second mandate as a prime Minister. Such politics have been further perpetrated by most prime ministers even during the second Republic (see Silvio Berlusconi and Romano Prodi), adding to it the reduction of the funds directed to empower the means of transportation and building railways and roads. You can see these data even in the maps and in the statistic charts. All of this has been justified by saying that "Southern Italians are naturally inferior to their northern counterparts, more complacent and more prone to choose blue collar jobs"; in all of Southern Italy there's also a much higher rate of high school dropouts.
Mussolini wanted to exterminate Sardinian, Campanians and Sicilians? I wonder why then he helped immediately the victims of the quake of Vulture on 1930, which affected the regions Puglia, Campania and Basilicata, causing 1404 deaths. Not only, he made sure the affected areas went into reconstructions. It is certainly not true that prime ministers of the Republic like Berlusconi wanted to pursue a politics of extermination of southern people. Berlusconi was a fan of Neapolitan culture and music and he had often a Neapolitan traditional singer singing for him. Nothing even about Prodi, even if I am not a fan of him at all, he never did anything you’re suggesting. Cut in school funds or railroads were made in the years in the whole country because of reorganisation and because the EU always asks Italy to cut the expenses. In the case of schools, a part of the problem is caused also by waste of resources or bad use of such resources and bad planning, and the same problems affect also healthcare and infrastructures. Schools are bad from north to south, regarding to resources and buildings. Falling of ceiling pieces in classrooms happened and still happen from north to south, just google it.
Are you a eugenicist, because you sound like one
I don't know how to square what you are telling me with the outcomes of my Sicilian father in the New York public school system. My dad was born in 1918 in New York 105th and 1st Ave Italian Harlem. He skipped grades going through the public system as he mastered what was taught and received a stipend from the city along with a handful of other kids in the city to attend CCNY, which is free if you have the grades, at age 15. He sailed through CCNY and became an engineer working for 30 years for Naval Ships and Research in Carderock Maryland David Taylor Model Basing designing countermeasures for the Navy. I'm not doubting what you are saying but it did not apply to dad in any event. The public school system rewarded dad. That's not to say it didn't hinder others, I have no way of knowing but I think it's important to note his anomaly situation in light of the stereotyping that 1922 Scientific America is claiming. Keep in mind dad is entering school only 2 years after that article was written.
This entire racial classification was born out of the theory of evolution. Obviously, people were racist before that. The Greeks and Romans thought everyone else, almost, were lesser barbarians.

IQ tests like WAIS 4 (the most popular in the US) test potential for academic achievement. how is that so hard to understand?
1/3 of the test is MEMORY testing. even the sections not under 'working memory index' include lots of memory work. Memory is critical for nearly all academic achievement. Short term, working and long term memory if you're good at these three things odds are you'll do very well in an academic setting with the right balance of nurturing. Go look at the four areas the WAIS 4 tests and you'll see they're just areas that would be used in an academic setting mostly. Are you good with learning, manipulating and applying information quickly? Those are the skills needed in modern society as information workers. What test do you propose to have?
low iq people tend to take too long to learn new material and they are slow at producing work based on that information, if they even remember sufficiently to be of any use. even the US military has a cutoff of around 82 or 83 iq below which they don't want you.
Some of the test questions given to these people showed things like an ink drawing of a bowing alley and asked what was missing from the picture. Some asked to say what was missing from a drawing of a jack knife...I failed that one. It was a rivet.
u235u235u235, Cool story. Also, way to completely miss the point of the video.
I have taken 4 IQ tests including the WAIS. Most of the tests are biased towards school subjects and Western Civilization. I was asked questions about Classical composers, opera etc...
Obviously rich white people are more likely to know that kind of information.
There was no cultural bias. Even today the North and Center of Italy have significantly higher IQ's than South and specially Sicily, where most of those migrants were from. Instead of being butthurt and trying to say something is not true without evidence of it, actually look into the science and stop taking things personally.
If you can, show me some fine American 100-year-old stonework like a building, or monument that wasn't made by Italian born craftsmen. These were world class craftsmen without peer, and we were blessed to have them.
Grateful you're doing this research but so hard to hear it.

Charles Darwin has been controversial for years! People were up in arms that we could possibly ascend from apes. Most religions were enraged!
Most of his studies have been used to make it ok to treat minority’s with contempt, they are so uneducated and savage it’s ok to present them as less than human. Darwin traveled to different countries to learn their cultures and then put them in catagories and would show the differences between white Anglo Saxons and people that were considered less than. Darwin made it ok for white Anglo Saxons to be racist because they were the superior race. But we all know now that Darwin’s views were skewed toward racism because as a supposed scholar he observed but didn’t learn. He made assumptions based on his own bias. His descriptions of Africans in Africa were that they were primitive and savage and of low intelligence. They were considered a step above apes. Unfortunately that definition stuck and made slavery acceptable because Darwin deemed them primitive. Like most of that generation they believed they were superior and therefore they could treat others how ever they chose. Most people were religious and also believed they could “save” these primitive beings.
Darwin technically started the categorizing of groups of people, therefore I deem him the father of racism.
Its ironic that Darwin himself looked like an ape!
That was simply fear of mixing genetics since Italians had connections with other races . races were considered as mentally controled "flock" of some "Houses" deities and therefore possible infiltrators . Nothing to do with intelligence.
Same was with Hindu casts or Jews in Europe. It was because of old wars . Influencing mentally on "flock" is tried now again with new technology and waves emitting but it doesn't work as expected . Not even feeding like some religions impose as necessary part of the agenda or diseases that damage nervous system and neurons .
Exactly, there is no white country or language or a black country or language anywhere on a map or continent.
Interesting topic and good points
What are the current average IQ & SDs for racial groups in the USA? Do you have a source???
Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ, average 115, previously classified as an inferior race, Albert Einstein belonged to this ethnic group, in second place are East Asians and in third place are non-Hispanic Whites. The lowest are Hispanics, but this was not always the case, in the past they were Blacks, but their IQ rose when slavery was eliminated and they better integrated into the middle class, even among Hispanics it can vary enormously depending on their social class ( poor, middle class or rich). If we talk about regions of the world, East Asians have the highest IQ, they are also ethnically very homogeneous, if we talk about the lowest IQ it would be Sub-Saharan Africa. Northern Europeans have 10 IQ points higher than those in the South.

how is testing memory capacity bias?
"The Alpha[test], for example, expects test-takers to be able to identify that Christy Mathewson is a famous baseball player, and that John Adams was the second President of the United States. While the Beta expects test-takers to know the correct location of a US postal stamp, that light bulbs have a filament, that tennis courts have a net, that phonographs have a horn and that the jack of diamonds playing card has a big diamond in the top-left corner."
Not just testing memory.
If this test is biased than why do people of all different races still rate them same no matter where they live and what their social status is?
It's probably the best test ever created and researched.

Before anyone jumps on the liberal bandwagon based on this video, it is important to note that immigration back in the day that she is describing was completely different than the Illegal immigration that is going on today. Back in the day, nobody was given any handouts. In fact, the immigrants were treated very poorly and had much taken away from them. There were quotas and sponsors were needed. The process of coming to this country did not involve physicall walking across a boarder unregistered and then being put up in fancy hotels at taxpayers expense, given gift cards payed for by the government ( again, your tax dollars), and promised all kinds of goodies in general for crossing over the boarder illegally. Immigrants back then had to be "processed" through regulatory agencies.
Let's not romanticize immigrants of the past. They were still cowards that fled their homelands. Why build up your own country when you can scurry off like a rat and live in another man's country?
The problem is systemic. It's called capitalism. Before there was the non biological (it's actually political) category of race - there was racism. Meaning... that these concepts evolved not to "scientifically" explain anything but, au contraire, to justify prevailing economic, social, and class relations. What are those economic, social, and class relations? The exploitation of the target group by a privileged minority. How does the minority dominate and control the majority? It's simple: divide and conquer. According to Alfred McCoy (read his To Govern the Globe) this got it's major impulse in the modern era by the Portuguese kidnap of Africans to exploit them in the cultivation of highly profitable sugar cane crops in the Cape Verde Islands and Sao Tome off the coast of Africa in the 15th Century. The institution of capitalist slavery then spread to the New World (initially the Caribbean and Brazil). Who's got the highest IQ? Me. Who am I? The Mexican-American kid who taught himself to read at the age of four by studying cereal boxes (Wheaties and Corn Flakes) at the breakfast table before he even started kindergarten. I was always the tallest/smartest kid in school in a thoroughly Anglo community (Seal Beach, California). I hated it when people mispronounced my last name but no one ever seriously picked on me. The teachers (Mrs. Kinney especially) either asked me to lead the class or gave me separate, more advanced work to undertake. I quickly learned that all of this race stuff was pure bunk - and that includes the hero worship of Benjamin Franklin - the founding father who castigated German immigrants (the so-called Pennsylvania Dutch) as "stupid and swarthy". At the same time, based on my mother's very strict instructions, I understood that I was no better than anyone else in this world. She was a very vocal and determined defender of equality and I have never betrayed her principles. BTW - I may "look white" but according to Ancestry.com I'm 7% Native American and 2% African (among other things). Who's got the lowest IQ? That's easy. Those who believe in the false concepts of color and race.
I JUST released a video on Ben Franklin last night, go watch it! Exactly what you brought up!
@@nytn I can strongly identify with your concerns. I don't "look" very Mexican but I've always identified with being Mexican out of a personal anger towards the narrow-mindedness (and racism) of a certain slice of the American population. Unfortunately the reach of racial attitudes is both long and deep and every time it rears its ugly head I feel reflexive anger. I was shocked when Ancestry told me that I'm 85% Anglo, Norwegian, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and German. These are the very people (especially the Anglos) that I had the strongest prejudice against and I then find out - when I'm 70 - that I'm one of them! so-to-speak. Slight adjustment - the working class Irish-American kids in Seal Beach were always my best friends. My mother's parents didn't attend her wedding! The family name was Gibbs. I was smart enough in grade school to suspect that if they were ramming Ben Franklin and the American Revolution down my throat that there must have been another side (as there always is) to that story. And now you have people deliberately opening up all of the old wounds. My 50/50 prognosis? Do a Google search on Fermi's paradox if you want to find out. And no one had a higher IQ than the 1938 Nobel Prize winner, Enrico Fermi.

You are ignoring that they also said that it is more likely due to environment that the observed scores differed between groups. The narrative being put forward in this video is debunked in another video titled "Intelligence Tests and Immigration at Ellis Island (IQ tests and Immigration)" Also, intelligence literally can explain the North South difference known in Italy. See the post "Italian economic inequality explained by cognitive inequality" for details. Basically, the north consistently scores better.
