Do American women have low self-esteem?
No. Women have the same self-esteem issues as men. Below are a pair of articles that reference studies concluding exactly that; and also arguing that supporting a false belief that women suffer from lower self esteem than men creates problems for men - whose issues may not be recognized or dismissed - as well as for women. Chances are that almost everyone suffers from low self esteem issues at one point or another in their lives. 2010: http://www.psychologytoday.com/b...2011: http://www.apa.org/news/press/re...
Would america be a better place without black people?
they make up 60% of the prison population, and more than 40% of murderers. But they are only 12% of the overall population. If we removed an 8th of the population, it would more than halve crime, and save so much money. Would America not be a better place?
How common is it for White Americans to have Native American ancestry?
With respect to European Americans, the percentages are much more different than African Americans or Latinos, with European American genomes being 98.6 percent European, 0.19 percent African and 0.18 percent Native American.Claims that US is a genetic melting pot appear overblown--if you're white | Genetic Literacy ProjectThe average African-American genome, for example, is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American, the team reports online today in The American Journal of Human Genetics. Latinos, meanwhile, carry an average of 18% Native American ancestry, 65.1% European ancestry (mostly from the Iberian Peninsula), and 6.2% African ancestry….More than 5% of African Americans are estimated to carry at least 2% Native American ancestry genome-wide…With a lower threshold of 1% Native American ancestry, we estimate that about 22% of African Americans carry some Native American ancestry.At least 3.5% of European Americans carry African ancestry, though the averages vary significantly by state. In South Carolina and Louisiana, about 12% of European Americans have at least 1% African ancestry. In Louisiana, too, about 8% of European Americans carry at least 1% Native American ancestry…. African ancestry in European Americans is strongly correlated with the population proportion of African Americans in each state. We estimate that a substantial fraction, at least 1.4%, of self-reported European Americans in the US carry at least 2% African ancestry. Using a less conservative threshold, approximately 3.5% of European Americans have 1% or more African ancestry.We estimate that European Americans who carry at least 2% Native American ancestry are found most frequently in Louisiana, North Dakota, and other states in the West. Using a less stringent threshold of 1%, our estimates suggest that as many as 8% of individuals from Louisiana and upward of 3% of individuals from some states in the West and Southwest carry Native American ancestry.We find very low levels of African and Native American ancestry in Europeans with four grandparents born in Europe. We estimate that only 0.98% of Europeans carry African ancestry and 0.26% of Europeans carry Native American ancestry. These levels are substantially lower than the 3.5% and 2.7% of European Americans who carry African and Native American ancestry, respectively.
