In a new article, I argue that, contrary to common belief, the American story is not one of widespread and rapid immigrant assimilation. The "melting pot" metaphor is largely a fiction. Image
It is often said that, during the Age of Mass Migration, European migrants rapidly assimilated.

This is mistaken. Not only did large shares of European immigrants return because they couldn't integrate, disparities between European groups did *not* rapidly disappear. Image
Another example of supposed great assimilation are today's Asian immigrants.

But their success can largely be attributed to pre-arrival characteristics due to extreme immigration selectivity, not to characteristics acquired after arrival due to assimilation. Image

The weird thing about articles like this is that if they had asked a demographer, they would've known that there's a consensus that immigration cannot solve the problem of ageing populations.
More precisely, the amount of immigration necessary to keep the population age down is extreme and unprecedented. Infrastructure wouldn't even be able to keep up.
Some right-wingers will post the image of this old 2000 UN report called "Replacement Migration" without reading it. It actually concludes replacement migration cannot realistically solve population ageing. Image

It's usually a good idea to read what you're sharing (insofar one is trying to be honest).

The "7 times" figure did not come from the study with 25,000 couples (that's citing an old study, which doesn't replicate). The new large study finds small differences. Image
In a previous thread, I tried to review the research on this question. Generally, sex differences tend to be small, and are not rarely in the opposite direction of the claim.

There's a study from Finland with ~130,000 couples, reviewing multiple illnesses and conditions, which finds an effect in the *opposite* direction as claimed.

It must be a total coincidence that they don't cite such results Image

A comparison between fertility measures in Denmark -- or why over-relying on "total fertility rate" is a mistake

This chart shows three fertility measures: (1) the most commonly used "total fertility rate", (2) completed cohort fertility, and (3) the "tempo-adjusted" TFR. Image
Completed cohort fertility rate is actually the "true" fertility. I.e., it's the actual number of children women have over their lifetime.

The "total fertility rate" uses snapshot data from one given year at a time.
This snapshot of the fertility rate is imperfect because it reflects the interplay of "tempo" (timing) and "quantum" (level) effects.

As women change their timing in childbirths it creates strong fluctuations in the total fertility rate.

This story gets more and more distorted, further and further removed from reality. Here are the actual facts:

1) Franklin did not take Photo 51.
2) Watson and Crick did not steal Photo 51.
3) Photo 51 was not central for the discovery of the DNA structure.
1) Franklin did not take Photo 51.

This one's easy to address. It was actually taken by the PhD student Raymond Gosling, who worked under supervision of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin.
2) Watson and Crick did not steal Photo 51.

Maurice Wilkins -- who was head at the lab where Rosalind Franklin worked, and supervisor of Raymond Gosling (who took the picture) -- willingly showed the picture.

Youth robbery in Sweden

In this thread, I will talk about the issue of youth immigrant robbery in Sweden.

The reasons for doing robbery range from feeling bored, to purchase cigarettes, to feel powerful, to wanting to "fight the Swedes", to wanting to humiliate their victims.
In the 1990s, a distinct phenomenon of youth robbery became prevalent in places such as Malmö and Stockholm in Sweden. It was almost exclusively young boys targeting other young boys. The perpetrators were usually foreign-born and the victims were usually not.
A 2000 report showed that reported youth robberies had sharply increased between 1995 and 1999.

A school victimization survey indicated that about 1 in 5 young boys had been a victim of a robbery (or robbery attempt) in the last 2 years. Image
