All I can offer is anecdotal evidence. I've heard stories of a pretty slick gunsmith who had a chance to take college prep classes in high school, but decided to take a different path.

Good thing it wasn't an either or, and that third or seventh or twelfth choice was gunsmithing. Who cares if someone doesn't value education as much as the white culture does, that doesn't make anyone else a second class citizen.

Instead of lump'in 'em all together as culturally deficient, maybe the culture of violence and entitlement should be stomped out like gun ownership and hunting, in rapidly accelerating increments.
