The topic of "equality"

I was always trumpeting the merits of equality in my younger days for the following reason:

Psychologists and political pundits never made any distinctions between the different groups of non-whites races.  Always, always, always, all minorities were lumped together in the same one big collective mass.  Public talking heads talked about minorities having more high school dropout rates, lower student performance all around.  more babies born out of wedlock, lower literacy rates, more violence, more crime, more gangs, more sexual promiscuity.  This was the pervasive current events trend back when I was in high school.

I witnessed with my own eyes that this was simply not true for *particular* minority groups.  Many of the minorities that my family and I personally knew (and still know) are nothing like that.  The south Asian Indian-Bengali subcontinent is where my famly is from, as are the large group of families that we are friends with in North Caorlina and here in South Carolina.  

All of them, and I do mean one hundred percent of them, are composed of husband-and-wife couples that have been married since at least nine months before their first kid was born.  All of them have at least Bachelor's degrees.  Many of them have Master's degrees in their chosen fields.  This is roughly equal between women and men.  Many of them have degrees in some sort of critical science field.  Again, this includes the women as well as the men.  All of them either work in industry or are college professors.  There are a handful of medical___

My average is better than your average

Ahhh.  Finally the complete, detailed, unfiltered truth comes out.
At long last, science has confirmed what I, and most people, have always suspected to be the truth.

(((((On the subject of Asians having higher IQs than whites, and whites having higher IQs than blacks.)))  Ahh.  That's more like it.  I breathe a sigh of relief.  At long last, they are giving us the __ detailed, *whole* truth.  I settle back in smug, comfortable victory.

__Full, whole, unabridged, unedited truth

(((((*I had been first introduced to the idea of races expressing IQ DIFFERENCES back when I was in high school.  I was vehemently against this idea
((((Since part of it was not true, I dismissed all of it as being false.))))  Because that great big detail was quite obviously untrue, I dismissed all of it as utter hogwash.
((((Now that I am older and wiser))))
IQ editings(for when ahh the truth finally is uncovered, has cast off its shroud ((((blanket)))
Back then,,They lumped all minorities together into one broad spectrum___
Jumbled them all toge into a into one lump sum

I am ok wi it because these scores consistently reveal Asians coming out on top.  Mathematics scores, verbal skills, SATS, national scholar scores, innate ability, IQ tests, everything.

The reason I was so adamantly against this when I was in my youth was that the general media reports made no distinctions whatsoever between the non-white races.  The mass media divided the entire human race into only two categories --- white and other.

But now more recently, the mass media has finally twigged onto the fact that not all minority races are created equal.
