I believe that all 50 states are included under the United States category.Average Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203996329459638052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959798840444903970.post-7050845466256530852013-12-07T14:06:32.928-05:002013-12-07T14:06:32.928-05:00How come Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida, ...How come Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida, are listed separately from the "United States", and separate from the sub-categories for the United States : "White Americans", "Asian Americans", "Multi-racial Americans", "Hispanic Americans", and "African Americans" ?<br /><br />Why are these three states listed as separate from the "United States" and above-mentioned sub-categories for the United States? And considering they're listed separately, are the IQ figures from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida, excluded in the overall IQ figure for the "United States" ? Are the IQ figures for the USA sub-categories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, excluded in figures of the sub-categories, as the 3 states are listed as somehow being separate from the USA and separate from all the sub-categories for the USA ? <br /><br />Why are these three states listed as somehow being separate? They are listed separately from the "United States" and separate from the various categories for the USA. If these 3 states are considered to be "sub-categories" also, then why shouldn't all 50 states be listed as sub-categories as well? <br /><br />Why are Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, listed as being somehow separate from the USA and the sub-categories for the USA? It implies the 3 states are somehow sovereign. Very strange. <br /><br />From : Salvatore Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
