Lukas Bärfuss, a Swiss dramatist of the new generation, travelled to Kigali, Rwanda, to research the murderous role of the Swiss in the Huti massacres. Ah! You didnt know that there was a Swiss role! Neither did I. The Swiss have some obscene habits like hoarding gold in subterranean caves, but they dont go around clubbing natives. So this rebel sucks his little finger, invents a story and is voted the best playwright of Europe.
His first drama, "
Die sexuellen Neurosen unserer Eltern" ("Our Parents' Sexual Neuroses") bravely unmasks his old folks, those sex maniacs. His latest is about The Test. 40% of the paternity tests in Germany show that the father is not biological. A monologue from the drama:
(after describing how he will kill and dismember her)"...I'll be a model for all men who’ve been cheated on, a warning sign for faithless bitches who make their husbands take on some other guy’s brood with a smile, with a purr and with lots of hypocritical talk about family. We went to church. For the christening. She stood at the front, do you remember, she had her progeny baptized, with holy water, and I had to buy a light blue suit, it was a light blue moment. She dissembled before God, and a chasm didn’t open to swallow up this whore, and I’ve got pictures, I can show you them, where she’s laughing her cowardly grin, with the child in her arms. And me. Boy did I ever take pleasure in that grin. A happy woman. And who was responsible for that happiness. I was. With my semen and my steady income and with my up-to-date outlook on modern fatherhood. I bought a little bed, and I bought all the equipment, and I bought a new car, because while the old one was elegant, it wasn’t safe enough for the holy cargo, and I bought toys and I bought a stroller and I bought and I bought and I bought, and I played the father, the loving, caring father..."
..."I wanted to see how a child grows up, and that piece of meat, that hunk of flesh got big and fat, and I sat at his bed when the teeth came, the whole night. Didn’t go to work when he got the measles, mumps, chickenpox, I don’t even remember them all. And I was proud when that slut, that black mark of my love came home in the evening at the end of my day of being a dad and found me exhausted because the boy hadn’t slept at lunchtime and hadn’t left me a free minute, just made noise and screamed for daddy non-stop and, idiot that I am, I thought he meant me."
Not bad at all. He looks Chinese to me.

I see what you mean, but it's just that particular photo. He has rather almond shaped eyes but from a profile view he has a big, honking, un-Chinese nose. At most he is a mischling or just happens to have a vaguely Asian appearance.

I think the amount that women cuck us will turn into an amazing scandal in the near future.
DNA testing now makes it possible to know the truth, but this has been going on without the male's knowledge since the time we were lizards (BTW, was Mary REALLY a virgin or is that what she told Joseph?). You get the best of both worlds - a virile mate ensures fitter offspring who are more likely to pass on your genes, a caring mate nurtures them to adulthood.

If Barfus has a drop of Chinese blood in him he should be deported to China.

Many Alpinid pre-Aryan types in Germany and Switzerland. Predominant type is not Aryan. See e.g., Himmler.
Aryan was always a minority in Europe, even in Scandinavia.
What is an Aryan?
The non-paternity rate in the U.S. is supposedly around 20% based on genetic studies. The rate is higher in the lower classes and lower in the upper middle and upper classes. Is the cited 40% non-paternity rate in Germany just a setup for the drama, or is it based on real data?
It is real. It refers to laboratory results. Of course, only the people who has doubts about paternity does those tests. Experiments show that non-paternity cases when the father has high confidence in his paternity varies between 0.4% (Sepharadi Jews) and 40% (the source is Razib's blog).
You can get an idea of the issue in
http://www.childsupportanalysis.co.uk/analysis_and_opinion/choices_and_behaviours/misattributed_paternity.htm
In child support disputes, about 30 - 40% of the fathers who strongly doubt their paternity - are found to be right.
In fertility treatment clinics, a quarter of the women with azoospermic husbands gets pregnant BEFORE any treatment.
"La donna e mobile...ah ah ah!"
I looked again and now I see he is just a big nosed, olive skinned German speaking human being.
A critic describes the play: "Bärfuss shows that the unfathomable cruelty of the black continent, was in truth a terrible triumph Swiss order and righteousness. Rwanda was our apt pupil. The mass murder was only possible because the Swiss do-gooders, politically correct idealists with good intentions, created the government bureaucractic infrastructure (however, the machetes came from China)."
I admire and at the same time I have to laugh on Swiss moral self-analysis.
Aryan is the master-race. A race of rulers and conquerors. They spread Indo-European language in Europe in the Bronze Age, also in India and other places. But most of Europe is racially pre-Aryan as they were a conquering minority.
This writer is pre-Aryan.
"..the machetes came from China".
Hard to make this stuff up, really.
Anon.
40% rate is exaggerated. That's for men who are unsure of their children to begin with.
The real rate is 3%-20% but who knows. Doesn't matter. Not all sex results in pregnancy and not all pregnancy is carried out. Rate of women who cheat on husbands, boyfriends is probably close to 100%.
What the fuck is going on with the comments on this post?
Rate of women who cheat on husbands, boyfriends is probably close to 100%.
Forget it and keep going.

J--are you saying I shouldn't care haha? I much rather agree with the Afghan warrior. Be vigilant. And be ready for revenge.
It will not help you.
Only in Hitler's dreams are the "Aryans" a master race. Have you read David Anthony's book ("The Horse, the Wheel and Language")? Indo-European probably arose among the Kurgan steppe people. Horses were likely domesticated in that milieu as well, and has much to do with the success of their conquests. The skulls of some of the Kurgan people are described as rather brachycephalic. Hardly Nordic-looking ubermenschen. And the Neolithic settlements of pre-Indo-European southeast Europe (called "old Europe" by Anthony) were relatively sophisticated. More sophisticated than the settlements of the Kurgan people farther east.
The Huns and the early Germanic tribes of the volkswanderung were conquerors. Do you consider their civilizations in the 4th and 5th centuries to be superior to that of Rome?
Yes I've read that. Read also Robert Drews "The Coming of the Greeks." They conquered by virtue of chariot technology (military horse riding didn't develop until well into the iron age) and they subdued much larger native populations. They were a heroic people, of conquerors and destroyers. Just like the Romans were. When the Romans lost their Aryan elite and became a racial chaos, they were conquered by the more vigorous Germanics. Keep in mind though, that only the military elite among the Germanics were Aryan.
Aryan civilization shows very sophisticated features very early on, despite your rhetoric. The lords of Mycenae, Hatti and the Levant (yes Bronze Age Levant had Aryan kinglets in some cities) had international connections, maintained international trade, had seafaring tech. and enjoyed a refined epic poetry tradition. You see this latter in the very early Vedas, etc.
But since you ask yes the Germanic conquerors were superior to the average citizen of the Roman empire by the time it fell. The early Roman patrician clans (who had Nordic features as far as can be seen from literature) had disappeared by then.
Greg Cochran has an alternative explanation: Nordic people grew thanks to the lactose tolerance gen. They were pacific dairy farmers with a large nutritional advantage. No heroic ubermensch phantasy is necessary.
In the 10,000 yr explosion Cochran and Harpending explain how lactose tolerance and dairy farming led to a heroic warrior culture.
So now there is a Nordic supremacist haunting J's blog. Much of this opining on the superiority of this or that group has a quality of romanticism not really based on fact. Other than from physical anthropology and limited molecular studies, how much can we really know about the appearance of long-dead people? We can know even less of supposed "heroic" qualities. That's romanticism in action to describe any ancient group as such.
What proof do you have for the supposed "Aryanism" of the early Roman elites? There is no evidence that even the Roman patricians had excess Northern European ancestry relative to the surrounding populace. Have the ancient authors magically become trustworthy about this one subject of history when so much else in their oeuvre is exaggerated for rhetorical flourish? Genetic studies don't bear it out, in the sense that the admixture present in southern Europe could as easily be much older than Greece or Rome.
Scratch a romantic and you get an anti-Semite.
Everyone likes to imagine that they are the descendants of heroic warrior kings...their neighbors, no matter how rich they are now, are all descended from miserable peasants.

But most of Europe is racially pre-Aryan as they were a conquering minority.
This writer is pre-Aryan.
??
What is an Aryan supposed to look like?
What would we do without Alternative Right Nordicism?
But most of Europe is racially pre-Aryan as they were a conquering minority.
Alternative Right thinks most Europeans are not white?
Basically, a bunch of people living around a large inland sea spoke a similar language, so that is used as evidence that it was one genetic group and call them Aryan.
Its as if the Hong Kong Chinese in 500 years from now will be considered to ultimately have origins in the British Isles because they speak the same language.
In reality, it is far more likely that multiple different ethnicity groups living in close proximity had to speak the same language, and the different groups have very little ethnic connection. There is certainly no evidence aside from linguistic evidence, which is a huge leap of logic.
We certainly know that the Ancient Greeks - while they spoke an Aryan tongue - looked absolutely nothing like other groups that spoke Aryan tongues, the Persians and the Germanics. The Greeks were well aware of the Germanics to their north and made a point of emphasizing how different they looked - as well as how dumb they were, btw. Ancient Greeks looked more like Ancient Hebrews than they did Germans.
The Romans, too, were dark and of small stature, with wiry hair - well before they got mixed with groups from the Near East. They too looked much more similar to Jews and to Germans.
Yet both Romans and Greeks spoke a language similar to what Germans spoke in a very distant way, so then, of course, they must be the same ethnic group!
This is why serious scientists dont talk about Aryan ethnicity seriously - it was always a linguistic grouping.
The amusing thing is that the more Aryan a country/group is, going up to Scandinavia, the lower its culture and historical achievement.
I'm not Alt Right, the Alt Right people would ban me for the things I say because they have a populist and imprecise understanding of "Aryan." You guys are 20 yrs behind the research on this, you should try reading more about the reasons people think it was actually a rather small ethnic group with a particular culture, that expanded very fast. Actually two (scholarly) books were mentioned above. It has to do with patterns of diffusion of language family groups, and a number of other things, including genetic studies on graves in Siberia, at Mycenae, etc.
Regarding the ancient Greeks, you miss the point. By classical times there had been heavy mixing, but the bodies in earlier Mycenean graves are large skeletons, over 6 ft., different from those of the natives, with a material culture totally alien from the surrounding population or anything that came before, and that bear specific genetic markers typical of later NW Europe, or Siberia at the time. But even in classical times, blond hair was prized in Greece, and many of their gods and heroes had blond hair, which is very revealing. Similarly there is good evidence for light eyes and hair among most of the very early Roman emperors, and some other evidence that the patrician clans were light-haired and -eyed. More especially it's a matter of the culture they had, but I don't want to get into that here.
By your arguments we should believe that the ancient Aryans (this is what they're called in the Vedas) who invaded India looked the same as the modern inhabitants, even though in the Vedas there are many references to the "dark skin that Indra hates," etc., Indra's tawny beard, etc.; and the caste system was originally a racial law.
K, there is plenty of romanticism for Jewish antiquity and Jewish blood in your comments. So? That's fine. I'm not being a romantic, but anyone who reads the Vedas or Homer sees essentially the same culture, and it is a heroic one. This is not a matter of romanticism, but simple observation. Just like the Old Testament is a heroic book; but later Jewish writings, not so much. Perhaps you have some residual resentment of Nordics, which is understandable. But, on an entirely different subject, I remind you that those stupid northerners were discovering the New World and the laws of physics while your more recent ancestors were swinging chickens over their heads in a shack near Minsk. Peoples go through cycles. The fact that 1200 BC the Greeks themselves were barbaric marauders and the Babylonians had settled city life is not an argument against the racial superiority of the Aryan.
Most modern Europeans may be "white" but they're not Aryan, they're the descendants of the aboriginal masses conquered by an Aryan minority in antiquity. This includes most blonds btw. Most of Germany is this way as well, brown haired, dull, preferring collective life, feminism, etc.; modern Europe is racially degenerated. You can see it in the predominance of the Alpinid type, like this Swiss writer, and of their preferences and so on.
I said a heroic people of conquerors by the way, not a people of merchants, or scientists, or farmers. The people of the iron age kingdom of David were also a heroic nation of conquerors, but were inferior in material and intellectual culture to the Egyptians and others. That's irrelevant. We're talking about different things, and you play a bait and switch. A master-race is a race of natural rulers. People who live on farms or in cities often are slaves.
Regarding the ancient Greeks, you miss the point. By classical times there had been heavy mixing
Thats a fair point. By the time the ancient Greeks formulated disparaging opinions of Germans, they were already heavily mixed.
But you say that the Aryans were a conquering race, in that they conquered native stocks in many places. That might be true, but even from the military standpoint the Greeks reached their conquering and expansive apogee in classical times, suggesting that a pure Aryan stock were inferior as warriors.
Further, the Greeks were a mixed-race stock fighting and decisively defeating Persians, who were purer Aryans, further suggesting that the military qualities of the Aryan were not supreme.
but the bodies in earlier Mycenean graves are large skeletons, over 6 ft., different from those of the natives, with a material culture totally alien from the surrounding population or anything that came before, and that bear specific genetic markers typical of later NW Europe, or Siberia at the time.
I thought the Myceneans were not related to the Ionians and Dorians who later conquered Greece, mixed with the natives, and later became the famous classical Greeks that we know today.
But even in classical times, blond hair was prized in Greece, and many of their gods and heroes had blond hair, which is very revealing.
It is revealing, in the same way that blond hair and blue eyes are a source of fascination in Asia today. People are fascinated by the rare and foreign. Blond is the color of gold and might well lend itself to imaginative uses without suggesting some dim memory of conquest by blond warriors.
Nor is blondness unique to Aryans, although it is unique to Europeans. Maybe it was the native conquered European stock that had some blond strain in them.
The mere fact that blond was considered rare and special in ancient Greece and that some Gods were blond is a very slender thread to hang a theory upon.
At best, it is suggestive.
Similarly there is good evidence for light eyes and hair among most of the very early Roman emperors, and some other evidence that the patrician clans were light-haired and -eyed.
The evidence is not strong, but light hair and light eyes do not an Aryan make (I specifically note you do not claim blond hair and blue eyes). It is quite possible that there was some Aryan mixture, but clearly even the earliest Romans seem not to have been heavily Aryan based on the evidence threads you are trying to establish - coloring. By the time the Romans were in full conquering mode, they looked nothing like what you or I think of as Aryan. They looked like Jews or North Africans. So again, the military apex of Rome, whatever its origins, seems to have been reached after an ethnic mixture so heavy as to almost completely eradicate the Aryan element.
So even if at one point in time Aryans were, in some places at least, conquerors, they were not *the* conquering race of Europe - that would have to go to various Aryan/native mixtures. Plus, how many Aryan tribes met their demise in attempts to conquer others we do not know.
So a conquering race, or *the* conquering race of Europe - no. At best, a race whose widely scattered elements conquered some natives in some places in Europe, but whose military qualities were overshadowed by their mixed race descendants, who were superior warriors.
Most Italians except perhaps some people in historic Sicily do not particularly look like North Africans, except perhaps the lighter Kabyle Berbers. North Africans are genetically differentiable from southwest Asian Near Easterners (including all groups of Jews) and southern Europeans. They have significantly more sub-Saharan admixture than southern Europeans, although the Kabyles have less than other groups.
Light hair is not entirely unique to Europeans, having been described among some aboriginal children in the south Pacific and Australia. The European mutations that confer it are thought to have arisen around the Baltic Sea (where blond hair is, to this day, found at highest frequency) in the last 10,000 years - before the Indo-European invasions.
So blond hair post-dates the Indo-European invasions.
Well, thats that, then.
The Europeans have achieved their greatest intellectual and cultural achievements in the past 500 years, despite being primarily the descendants of the aboriginal non-Indo-European masses. Alpinid physical types have certainly participated (e.g. mathematicians and scientists of Alpinid phenotype such as the Bernoullis,Ohm, Planck and Heisenberg). What some of us object to is your use of the terms "heroic" and "degenerate". The Indo-Europeans may have been tall and conquering, but the supposedly comparatively racially degenerate late 19th c. Prussian army could have kicked their asses to kingdom come. Civilizational achievement counts for something, and it's based on more than looks.
Blond hair pre-dates the Indo-European invasion, although it is still a relatively recently derived trait.
Australian aborigines and Melanesians are frequently blond. But not light haired.
I like Nordic girls much more than Negresses. French girls are very cute. In case of extreme necessity, I'n ready to contemporize. But those !Kung girls with their big fat asses - never! I cant imagine how some Dutch colonists married them. I must be a terrible elitist racist.
We need mandatory paternity testing at all births, and an end to child support enforcement. Only then can we stop the hypergamy monster. Man I'd like to introduce such a bill in the US Congress just to watch the feminists squirm.
I agree with your taste in women J, it's probably the main reason I oppose Third World immigration and miscegenation. Sorry, but I'm not signing up for a population uglification program.
Ancient Greek and Roman elites were not Nordics.
I've had quite enough of master-races, thank you. And, as has been pointed out here before, the Red Army, made up of Uzbeks and Kazakhs and various Asiatics, kicked the master race's ass.
The Jews, BTW, remained a literate people throughout the Dark Ages, when almost no one else was. Even in the most backward shetls, there was always a school (cheder) that was universally attended (by the boys at least). And again, I'm guessing that your ancestors were not Renaissance scholars either, but probably peasant farmers like 90% of the population of Europe.
If the brilliant Ashkenazi Jews did not contribute to Western science before the Enlightenment because they were excluded, whose fault was that? They've made up for lost time since. I just came across something on Dr. Sam Rabinovitch -when he (#1 in his class) was appointed to an internship in a Francophone Montreal hospital in 1934, all the other (Catholic) interns
went on strike rather than work with a dirty Jew.
K
Well, it is understandable. A relentlessm ruthless, excelling student like Rabinovitch can ruin the milieu of the whole class, destroy its gentle comfortableness, forcing everybody to study hard. I too was disliked by my collegues till they transferred me to a special school.
K,
Between 1300 and 1750, brilliant Ashkenazim would have self-excluded. There was minimal or no secular education available to them. All effort was devoted to Talmud study.
You contradict yourself - you say there was no secular education available to them (true). If so, how is this "self-exclusion"? Did Dr. Rabinovitch "self-exclude" when he resigned from the hospital staff (which he did)?
Rabinovitch was already done with his classroom work (in French BTW, even though the Jews of Montreal spoke English at home when they were not speaking Yiddish). The interns objected (in a contradictory way) that on the one hand, allowing Jewish doctors would undermine their future practices and on the other hand that Catholic patients should not be forced to be treated by dirty Jews.
Dr. R moved to the US for his internship, then returned to Montreal and later became Canada's oldest practicing physician, working into his 90s. He passed away a couple of years ago at over 100 years of age, having outlived all his enemies.
K
I did not contradict myself if you look at the time-frame specified (ending in 1750). The late medieval and early modern rabbinical authorities heavily discouraged secular learning, and very few ordinary Jews attempted to flout their rules. Was Dr. Rabinovitch alive in 1700?
K,
You don't know what my background is. You're assuming I'm European.
You are misrepesenting WW2; but also you're distorting what I've been saying from the beginning. Most of modern Germany is pre-Aryan.
In what you say about Ashkenazi Jews you overlook that other Jews, e.g., Yemeni Jews, have no record of achievement, and have low IQ. It is being around Europeans that civilized Jews and made them gifted. It was the same in antiquity, when Jews were not considered especially bright by the Greeks or Romans. Also what you say about literacy is not entirely true, most East European Jews were illiterate and couldn't even sign their names (which is why German Jews made fun of them when they made a circle instead of signing their names when arriving in the US). The rabbi may have been literate, but not the many. Also, as someone else points out, it was mostly a process of self-exclusion.
Parsees in India have IQ similar to Jews and had a privileged position in that society, but were never hated by the locals there...do you think that's because Hindoos and Muslims were more open-minded than Europeans? Or because Parsees had a different attitude and didn't provoke reactions. Antisemitism has less to do with jealousy than you think.
Anyway that's not what this is about. It's about population movements and archaeology in antiquity, I'm trying to explain to J why this Swiss writer looks Chinese and writes the way he does. It's a symptom of racial degeneration to a primitive type.
Anonymous,
Most Eastern European Jews were illiterate in the national languages of their countries of residence, yes, but they were not necessarily truly illiterate. Most could read and write Yiddish, and the better-educated (not limited only to rabbis) could read and write Hebrew. Yes, the secular authorities of the time (most of whom didn't like Jews) would have considered that illiteracy, but there is a huge difference between that state and the state of a modern American illiterate who speaks but cannot read English and knows no other tongue.
The ancient Greek and Roman authors' assessment of the Jews' intelligence was not unbiased. Both the Greeks and Romans held all barbarians in low regard, and essentially all non-Greeks or Romans were placed in that category, including Jews. Some of the Roman authors also felt great animosity towards this stiff-necked people that would not yield to their gods and empire. That said, I think you are right that residence in Europe with the exposure to European genes (pretty much only early on) and culture probably have much to do with Ashkenazi exceptionalism.
You've suggested that you are not European. Given your intense interest in all things "Aryan," are you of subcontinental Indian origin?
I am half Afghan and half Persian. I am not a Muslim, though. Also, I have light brown hair and hazel eyes.
I respect the heroic antiquity of the Jewish people and also of the Europeans!
K has tried to antagonize me, but I don't like it when people attack the idea of master-race. The Aryans are a world-conquering master race we conquered Europe and India and even Levant and Near East (see Mitanni) in antiquity! In India we crush the dark-skin dasyu farmer under the wheel of an Aryan chariot though the natives outnumbered us 100-1. But even with racial law of Manu, the blood is gone after 3000 yrs. It is the same in Europe, the same everywhere.
I fear it is the same for the Jewish people, in the Bible it is said, "The King is made in the image of God," not the people, the people of the gods were the rulers of the ancient Hebrews. But the Jewish priests corrupt the ancient bloodlines of the captains.
Oy gevalt! I love how our "Aryan" friend is sure that HIS ancestors were the chariot drivers.."WE" conquered Europe, etc. Are you SURE that none of your ancestors were the people under the chariot?
Yes, I'm pretty sure my grandparents and aunts and little cousins did nothing to the German who gassed them, so you'll pardon me when I tell you to go fuck yourself when you say that Jews bring antisemitism on themselves. The Parsees are lovely people but they are rapidly becoming extinct so I wouldn't take them as role models. The Jews of India were also not hated because India was multi-ethnic and not obsessed with the crazy idea that every single person had to have the same race, religion, caste, color, etc.
K
All this talk of Aryan master races is ridiculous nonsense, since Jews are obviously the master race. After all, what race is smarter, richer, or shrewder? If Aryans are much more likely to work for Jews than the reverse, the Jews are masters by definition.
-s.n.
Actually, the Scots are the master race (excepting the more egregious alcoholics from the Gorbals).
Wha's Like Us!
(Actually, the Jews are somewhat like us).
Anon.
Iran is "land of the Aryans" and Afghans, this is our name, fool K...this is where Hitler got it from. So there's no need for quotation marks, as there is with you, since you are not from Judea. Ever read the Vedas? Aryans is not a name invented by anyone it is what we call ourselves from before Hitler.
You live in Boca Raton, you don't know anyone who died in WW2, also 20 million Russians died and millions of Poles and Japanese in that war, has nothing to do with why antisemitism existed in the middle ages or now. Look in the mirror, all of your posts are attacks on other peoples, other races and their history. You think Jews are master race and no one else is this is why you're angry. You say India was multi-ethnic and you praise this (which isn't true in the way you think about it). Is Israel founded as "multiethnic" state or is it a state founded for racial survival of Jews? And if so, why shouldn't Germans and other Europeans have the same, you're inconsistent. "Ethnic nationalism for me, multiethnic for you," haha
To other man, you think an Armenian night-shift manager at McDonald's makes him superior? Modern world is commercial so Armenians and Jews do well, but it's dependent on the physical and ruling power of the WASP and the NW European, without him and his generosity what would you be doing, trading rugs in the Maghreb or in Cochin.
By contrast strong Afghan warrior maintains his independence for thousands of years, Persia will cast off Islam and rule the world.
Actually, the Jews are somewhat like us
How are Jews like Scots?
Try getting between a Scotsman and his money.

Persia will cast off Islam...
From your mouth to God's ear.
Leftists love to blather about Western colonialism, but Islam was the biggest colonialist movement of all, displacing native culture and religion from Gibraltar to Indonesia.
K
K,
In the modern West, at least, cuckoldry may be rarer than assumed (see blogpost from Razib at GNXP, below). Much lower than the 40% number that was being thrown around when this discussion thread started.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/06/the-paternity-myth-the-rarity-of-cuckoldry/
40% is high (though not for men who have reason to suspect infidelity) and 1% applies only to men with "high paternity confidence" to begin with. In other words, even if they don't have the evidence, many men have a pretty good idea whether their wives are the type that would screw around or not. Just as with illegitimacy, there are BIG socioeconomic, ethnic and racial differences which averages gloss over. There is a big difference in the odds between Shlomo the son of Rivka and Sh'quan the son of Tynisha. And as per Murray's work, the white working class is probably acting more and more like the black underclass.
If you have a population with distinct groups in it (say a city that is 1/2 black and 1/2 Ashkenazi Jewish) then averages are misleading. The "average" IQ of such a population might be 100, but you don't have a smooth bell curve but one peak at 85 and one at 115 or thereabouts. I'm guessing the non-paternity distribution is similar - one group with very little and one group with a lot and that "averages" to 10% or so.
In America, race is so taboo that honest public discussions are impossible. Unless we can discuss matters such as race and class, pubic discussions of the "average" non-paternity rate are meaningless.
