* Average Hispanic performance is just mediocre. Not terrible … just *consistently* mediocre.
There are only a few things of note:
– Florida Hispanics–as expected–are of a slightly different cut and do a bit better.
– New York, despite having more black Hispanics gets bog standard performance.
– The generally high-performing (white) states really do *not* have any capability to move Hispanic scores up. Even Massachusetts Hispanics are just average. The average across a bunch of states with decent white scores–Connecticut, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota–pretty much the Hispanic average.
To me, the lone data point with a real “message” is California–it has the worst Hispanic scores, tied only by Alabama. Enough below the average i’d guess there’s statistical significance.
My take home from that is the more Hispanics you take in, the more they live in a Hispanicized world, in Hispanic cities, with Hispanic norms, Hispanic teachers, administrators, public officials … the more mediocre the Hispanic performance. Essentially it degrades toward their performance in Latin America … because they are now living in a Latin America.
It’s essentially the problem with the Raj Chetty’s bogus “solution” (integration with whites). With fewer and fewer whites around, you simple don’t have enough whites to provide minority “uplift”.
If you want the quality and amenities of a white country … you sorta need white people around to deliver them!
* Despite the billions of tax dollars thrown at this intractable problem, the stats reveal that you cannot educate those who cannot be educated. Now the region formerly known as southern California has been transformed into Mexifornia. In fifty more years no one will believe that this was once the driver of the aerospace and defense industries. But you’ll be able to get a killer taco de lengue on every rincon del calle.
