You used to hear about ‘Puerto Ricans’ all the time on American TV in the 1970s

April 1, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Anyway, Steve Sailer looks at (below) average Puerto Rican IQ, via a 1936 study, and writes:

Since then, of course, we’ve seen how wrong the 1936 psychometricians were, as Puerto Ricans have risen high in the ranks of accomplishment in America, such as composing, writing, and choreographing West Side Story.

Oh, wait, you’re telling me West Side Story is by gay Jews? Why wasn’t I informed?

And remember: Geraldo “Young Lords” Rivera used to be “Gerald,” and his mom is Jewish.
