What? How do you make that leap? The Taliban were infamous for this type of stuff well before 9/11 or OBL's capture.
Were they infamous for it before 1948?
Went down the rabbit hole and was surprised to learn that the U.S. spends more than any other country on education. Lots more interesting takeaways — from Canada, Singapore, Finland, South Korea, and Germany — here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/07/us-education...
You're comparing a country with a 30%+ black/Mestizo component to a list of countries that are 90%+ white or East-Asian. The same kids who score highly in Finland or Korea, also score highly in the US. But because they comprise a lower % of the population, our average as a whole is lower than Finland/Korea.
What degree of purity is required to count as a European? Europeans can and do mix with non-europeans.
The 99% of white Americans for whom all ancestors were from Europe, are European.
Just so you know, Middle Eastern folks from Lebanon and Egypt fall under the race of "White" in the US census. Source: https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-census-middle-east-no...
The US Census categories are incorrect.
What's "white" even mean? Descendants of north Europeans? Surface albedo of skin greater than 0.85 in the visible spectrum?
Descendants of Europeans. It's not ambiguous.
People care about Juneteenth like they care about MLK day, there's no cultural significance to Kwanzaa.

Looks like Kwanzaa was bigger until 2018 when Juneteenth first started getting promoted.
It is not universally acknowledged. Case in point, during the 2016 campaign, people asked if a woman could be trusted with the nuclear codes, but no one questioned whether a man could be trusted with them.

I'm surprised you never heard anyone question Trump's temperament regarding control over nukes.

What the actual...
Are you serious right now? Men kill women and other men at much, much higher rates than women kill men or other women. What does that say about the the "innate biological tendencies" of men?
It's universally acknowledged that men are more violent than women.
I think the personality types you generally find in tech, which are so focused on what we can produce / output, don't understand that consumption is a perfectly valid hobby or interest for people to have.
I'd wager very few people actually buy the miracle claims on the products. I think they instead just find it fun. I gave my SO a lot of crap before realizing that some people just find stewardship of an object enjoyable. There's a whole subculture related to it. The ownership, displaying, and usage _is_ the hobby.
No it is not.
