What’s the empirical basis for this claim?

Listen to the woke, they'll tell you. Simple example emblematic example. "Being / delivering on time" - people value this and understand that other people value it and think less of a person when they hear that he can't. Empirical evidence for the difference abounds.

But I know plenty of people that aren’t European who also share these values. Unless I am misunderstanding, you are saying this is genetic and not cultural.

Yes, it's genetic and it "privileges whiteness [and Asian-ness but ignoring that]" because the trait is on a distribution that leaves whites mostly within the acceptable bounds and many non-whites outside the acceptable bounds. The acceptable bounds fit the people.

So back to the question: What evidence are you using to back the claim that this is genetic and not cultural? My observations are not enough to determine that. All my observations do is help me identify patterns, not the causes in this case.

There's an entire field documenting differences in behavior and the genetic contribution to behavior. That debate is old and settled as progressives went with the "shut up" rebuttal in response. Human groups are genetically distinct, societies are selective genetic filters.pic.twitter.com/ku96VIPqrk

I get that genetic variation exists and that certain traits are genetic and there will be differences between genetically-distinct populations. No argument there. Where I’d need convincing is that this is responsible for the differences we see between cultures.

Covfefe has said: different populations are like diff species, mixing is 'complicated' and these species are suited to different societies. Hitler believed: races=species; Germans=higher; Jews=lower=Judeo-Bolshevism; mixing lowers species until Marxists take over. Am I wrong?

I'm not a Hitler expert and don't think he's really relevant to this discussion but Singapore governance accepts the reality that different groups thrive under difference governance and prospers as a result. It doesn't apply a single set of rules out of ideological stubbornness.

It's obvious to me, at least, that we agree that different populations are optimized for different circumstances. It's sad that most liberals deny evolution, but I don't. We need so much more research into these issues. Social science has really failed since ww2.

Once you abandon "equal protection under the law" you're not a liberal by almost any definition and the choice really is to deny evolution or abandon it.
