You know, these things that make you wonder if you live in some parallel reality.
I'll start, with the first ones that come to mind. Bold is my own experience :
- In the West, more baby girls than boys are born.
This one is really WTF, and I know I must be wrong, because I am aware that it is not possible, demographically speaking.
Yet, from what I am seeing from my own family and friends and colleagues, baby girls outnumber baby boys by a ridiculous ratio.
Like 70 % girls, 30 % boys. And this is based on my experience in 3 different western countries.
There is some research on decreasing testosterone in Western males, but nothing that would lead to this conclusion.
- In the West, violent behaviour is correlated to origins.
In most of the cities I know, violent behaviour was most often correlated with visible minorities. Either street gangs, or even guys from well-off families. Thuggish, aggressive behaviour is way more prevalent amongst minorities, regardless of poverty levels.
