Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

      A: Crime rate has been going down last decade nationwide. B: No! My neighbor's car just got stolen yesterday! It was in a good neighborhood too! Gotcha!

      Either I'm dense or you've completely confused what I said. B should read: My neighbors car got stolen yesterday in a good neighborhood. I warned him not to park it there even though all of my research has indicated that he would be safe wherever he parks (on average).

      Also your analogy is bunk. It doesn't take into account the alleged intellectual superiority of Asians. To take that into account, the car should be a rundown station wagon.

      I don't understand your point here. As far as college entrance goes, superior grades, test scores and extra curricular activities of Asians as a group is not in dispute. But that's perceived as disadvantage by Harvard to the individual Asian. That's the problem.

      We know that now, he didn't know that in the 80s. The rundown car has a lower chance of being stolen, just like how an Asian, according to the bell curve, has a lower chance of being discriminated against.

      Again, what you say is true in general. But you are comparing that to Harvard which is a specific case. Fewer people knew Harvard discriminates against Asians in the 80s but it's not completely unknown. Murray would be in the first 1000 to know.

      1987 is before the bell curve came out, if he knew about this sort of discrimination back then, why was it never mentioned as a contributing factor in his book?

      Um, Patrick. There's a long chapter about it. With numbers and everything.

      You opened the table of contents and didn't see the chapter titled "Affirmative Action in Higher Education"?
