Keep providing payoffs in terms of moral authority and social status for this kind of behavior and you are going to keep getting more of it:
Steve Sailer: I’m sure you’ve heard about the Sudanese Muslim immigrant kid in Texas who was arrested for bringing his home made electronic clock to school where Islamophobes worried that it was a time bomb beeping in his backpack. A reader points out that the kid’s dad is a publicity hound who routinely returns to Sudan to run for President and engages in other PR stunts S Sailer: If Ahmed were so smart, he’d know the difference between creating a circuit and stripping the guts from a manufactured clock. His dad helped him “make” this, and dad helped to make this “project” look as questionable as possible, within the realm of plausible deniability. Whatever agenda he’s advancing, it just further demonizes western society, and reminds us all to be guilty for how racist we all are.
