Often lose earlier in games shows such as Jeopardy, Who wants to be smarter than a 5th and who wants to be a millionaire

IQ problem?

I'm Hispanic, but I'm no dumbass.

The reason most people tend to lose early in Millionaire is because they always use the "Ask the Audience" lifeline early on, when it almost always works, which would make it more useful for the 16,000+ questions.

You may not like what someone else likes,
but it's not up to you to change it.

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.

That's a pretty huge generalization

Because they have lower education standards in the poor schools?

This gap is large and persistent. In fact, test results show that by the time they finish high school, minorities (unless otherwise specified, this means blacks and Hispanics) are approximately four academic years behind whites. Their achievement test scores in 12th grade are, at best, about equal to those of whites in the 8th grade, and sometimes dramatically lower. The graph below this paragraph, taken from No Excuses by Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom (see sidebar, page 6) deserves careful study. Please note that the racial comparisons are not of children in the same grade, but of 8th grade whites and Asians and 12th grade blacks and Hispanics. It shows that an employer who hires a black or Hispanic with a high school diploma will, on average, get the intellectual equivalent of a white 14-year-old. Things are actually even worse. Only slightly more than half of blacks and Hispanics even graduate from high school, as opposed to 72 percent of whites, so the dropouts are even more miserably qualified.

hate -- healthy, virile hate -- for what the German personifies
and for what persists in the German. To do otherwise would be
a betrayal of the dead." - Elie Wiesel
