high standards and low standards

In the most general sense, the difference between first-world countries and third-world countries is that first-world countries are high-standards countries while third-world countries are low-standards countries. This is particularly true when it comes to intellectual standards, which are the most important standards of all.

 This is a good argument for doing away with these racial and ethnic categories altogether. They seem increasingly anachronistic and artificial anyway. The significant differences between people, really, are not racial or ethnic, but socioeconomic and cognitive. If one is thinking about poor black people, the operative word is poor, not black. Nobody cares about middle-class black people; they’re doing just fine. On the other hand, if you care about poor black people, you also care about poor white, yellow, and brown people.
