Vermont is very liberal, too. That helps mitigate the violence that we see from more conservative white men and their ideology.
Vermont can afford to be liberal because it's easy to maintain your delusions that all people behave identically when you are never exposed to anyone in any quantity that would disprove it.
This is why the Midwest also tends to have much more progressive views in the area of race than the south does. And than most people realize. Midwest has a lot of red states, true, but their naivety re: race is much more akin to Vermont or Maine than southern red states.
When you really get a good indication is when you look at the cultures groups create when they're left to their own devices, are the majority, and this situation has time to play out.
Any race can field a small number of highly impressive individuals to "put the best face forward" because all races have all types of people within.
But do they all produce all types at the same rate or in the same quantity? Ahhh now that is the interesting question. A question with profound importance to our future if we are wrong on it.
Can western civ continue in the style to which we've become accustomed technologically speaking, culturally speaking, crime rate wise... Etc if we swap out whites for other groups beyond a certain level? If its Asians I have no doubt. Others? I have grave doubts.
An honest look at Chicago, Detroit, parts of California... and the ancestral home areas for those groups across the world... will give any honest, sober person similar doubts.
Are black luminaries, for instance, the intellectual equivalent of Yao Ming in his height or a white football player or sprinter who can hold his own?
Worth considering. And there is much data and evolutionary reason to suspect so. Ice age environment and wildly different survival pressures don't leave people unchanged. To survive in them a group must adapt and this leaves a legacy genetically. Good reasons to suspect such an environment changed Caucasians and Asians in temperament, conflict resolution, breeding and child rearing behaviors... and intellectual capacity on average.
