Why don't blacks contribute much to science and technology?

In fact, you think black people are good at sports and music ... they are basically black Americans. ...

Because the racial problem in the United States is very serious, black people have human rights for only half a century. Only through music and sports can ordinary blacks become heroes of pop culture. Black elites generally engage in professions such as doctors and lawyers, which is very effective in the United States, a country ruled by law. On the contrary, the direction of scientific research and engineering that China and Indians are engaged in is not the common choice of people who are eager to get ahead in the United States.

However, it is difficult for most ordinary blacks to become heroes of pop culture. There is only one Jackson and one Jordan, and it is difficult for some successful black elites to drive the overall prosperity. Therefore, the income of black Americans has been very low, only about 60% of the average income.

But if you compare the northern neighbors who deal with racial issues very well.

According to the official statistics of NHS in Canada, the median income under full-time working conditions, the average income of black Canadians is about 43,000 Canadian dollars, which is about 85% of the average income of Canadians of 49,000 Canadian dollars, although this figure is not very good.

However, the income level of blacks actually exceeds that of Hispanics, First Nations, Southeast Asians and Koreans, one of the East Asian nations known as "smart". And it is similar to Hispanic, but in terms of income, the income of blacks can be comparable to that of Iranians. I am afraid it is not stagflation?

In fact, unlike the United States, most black Canadians are immigrants, mainly from the Caribbean/Central and South America (unlike some people in the comment area who say that black people have language advantages ...), and only a small part of them are black Americans. Therefore, considering their current economic level, especially considering that the education foundation in the Caribbean is not very good, most of these black immigrants are not as good as the intellectual elite in Zhihu. In the 1970s, there were only about 30,000 black people in Canada, which increased to 240,000 in the 1980s. So far, there are about one million black people. Therefore, in fact, the vast majority of blacks have not been to Canada for more than half a century, which leads to Canada's lack of deep-rooted soil, system and consciousness of discriminating against blacks.

From the perspective of immigrants as a whole, the median income of overseas ethnic immigrants in Canada is actually only $44,000, and the income of blacks can basically be considered to be close to the average income level of overseas ethnic immigrants in Canada (slightly lower than 4%), at least at a qualified level.

By the way, the average income of overseas immigrants in Canada is only 88% of that of whites (blacks are about 85% of whites), and the lack of protection of minority rights has given birth to the Employment Equity Act at the federal level, which aims to prevent ethnic minorities from being discriminated against in employment. For those who despise blacks and think they are superior, you can refer to the official Canadian study arms/report/poverty _ profile/snapshot.shtml.

But on the whole, racial equality in Canada is handled well in the world. In the United States, the income gap between races is often doubled, and in Canada, the income gap is at most 20%. It is also in this country with less discrimination against ethnic minorities that blacks are far less incompetent than many racists say.

If the IQ of blacks is low, many ethnic groups in Canada actually earn less than blacks, and blacks are no worse than others. Among the ethnic minorities in Canada, the Japanese are very tall, and other ethnic minorities are basically at the same level. Even elite South Asians earn only 2000 Canadian dollars more than blacks, and no one is qualified to say that others have low IQ.

If the unemployed are included, the overall economic level of blacks will surpass that of other immigrants. See NHS Statistics Canada 20 1 1 National Household Survey: Data Sheet for details.

Even though many people think that the income of Chinese Americans is lower than that of Indians because the latter has higher quality immigrants, this does not apply to Canada, at least the quality of black immigrants in the Caribbean cannot be higher than that of Iran and the Philippines. The literacy rate of immigrants in the Caribbean and Central and South American countries is only 70% and 80%, while Iran is 87% and the Philippines is over 95%. I'm afraid the quality of black immigrants is not that high.

To sum up, I have always been more inclined to think that this is a problem of social mechanism. If slavery prevailed in Canada at that time, it would be GG now.
