The identity of regular Mexicans and Blacks is not at all artificial, will last a very long time.

For Blacks this may be true. Disparities b/w they & broader population on many measures may be too broad for shared identities.

But Blacks have been in the Dem. ledger for a long time, & as much as they might wish it not so, Rs have accounted for that.

With Mexicans this is just not true. Even Sailer alludes to this when he differentiates "conquistador" vs. "Indian" Mexicans.

Mexican shared identity had to also be forged, particularly w/the national myth of "La Raza Cosmica."

Scots-Irish & Cavaliers have always done worse than Yankees on educational outcomes. But alliances b/w some were still forged.

This is a totally different conversation, but idea that SI and Cavaliers worse on educational outcomes for genetic reasons is silly
