About 5-10% of all US colleges have an average SAT score that's the equivalent of an IQ of 90 or below.
Since a 90 IQ places a person in the bottom 20% of cognitive ability among white Americans, this means these colleges are enrolling some of the dimmest people in the country.

The Asian-white-Hispanic-black rank order for socially desirable outcomes (and the inverse rank order for socially undesirable outcomes) is the norm in the US, including for:
Examples of socially desirable outcomes in which this rank order prevails:
— IQ and standardized test performance
— Average college GPA
— Percentage degrees earned in the most cognitively-demanding STEM fields
— Law and medical school graduation rates
— Household income
— Household wealth
Below are socially undesirable outcomes in a rank order the reverse of above:
— Violent crime rates
— Most property crime rates
— School disciplinary rates
— Antisocial behavior percentage
— Divorce rates
— Out-of-wedlock birth rates
— Single-parent household rates
— Obesity rates
— Teenage pregnancy rates
— Average age of first sexual intercourse
Performance in the following areas contains an occasional or slight divergence from typical ranking-order, but never involves Hispanics or blacks rising to the top two spots or Asians and whites falling to the bottom two spots:
— Law and medical board professional licensing rates (Asians and whites switch places occasionally)
— Personal (not household) income (very slight lead of blacks over Hispanics explained by fact that 1/3 of Hispanics are foreign-born and about 1/5 have incomplete command of English language)
— Welfare recipients (Asian percentage is often higher than whites, tied to higher percentage of immigrants)
— Scientific innovation and achievement (Whites lead Asians, but gap may be closing)
— Mortgage foreclosure rates (blacks and Hispanics switch third and fourth position occasionally, but are always in the bottom two)
— Bachelor's degree percentage (blacks have higher percentage than Hispanics
Finally, these are major outcomes in which Hispanics or blacks outperform whites or Asians:
— Longevity (Hispanic lead over whites is called the “Hispanic Health Paradox”)
— Prominence and influence of musical artists (blacks outperform all other groups on a per capita basis, and Asians perform worst)
— Athletic achievement in the two most popular American sports (blacks outperform all other groups, and Asians perform worst)

@avidseries “Asians significantly outperform whites.”View quoted post on X
I believe this is universally true for every single metric that would be used to measure success and prosperity in the U.S. I don’t believe I have ever seen a statistic where whites outperform Asians.
Mass taste is predictably awful. There's only one movie on this list that I saw that I would ever want to watch again.
Most of these you couldn't pay me to sit through.

The children of the very poorest Asians (lowest decile) end up having higher credit scores than the kids of the wealthiest blacks (highest decile).
Poor white kids at the 20th percentile end up as adults having about the same credit scores as black kids at the 90th.
At the lower deciles, Asians significantly outperform whites.
