Set vs. Subset

Immigrants are not representative of the average population.

You’re not disproving IQ.

You’re just proving that whites are not racist - for which I thank you. https://t.co/jzispZpd0x

A lot of people make this mistake. They compare a prosperous subset of a nation to the entirety of a different country and then draw false conclusions. In a different context, let's look at the Chinese immigrants in Western nations. Their average incomes are significantly higher than the average incomes of the native Whites. Does this imply that the average person in China is richer than the average White guy in Europe? Nope.
