Which implies they want to live like this and want to uphold this culture, which is clearly stupid, and the point I have been attacking this entire thread.

Is this you?
"The trouble is that you cannot actually win any argument in trying to "uplift" or "enlighten" people by asking them to reject what they consider parts of their culture."
Where by what they consider to be parts of their culture, you mean "a culture which encourages primitive and superstitious practices" (which sounds like American conservatives to me), "a culture that values sports over education" (for groups that weren't allowed a proper education until the 1960s and weren't given opportunities to use an education for as long), and "a culture that normalises or encourages single parents over the alternatives."
You actually believe that they want to be single parents (something that they learned from everybody they were around living that way) instead of learning about and having access to family planning, and you're blaming them for it. What do you think people are pushing for life skills, SEL, sex education, and science education in public schools for if not to fix this?
> And then happily posted evidence against that claim:
You're having a tough time keeping up, maybe having grown up in a conservative culture that does not value education (see how I can point out cultures that don't value education without being politically incorrect, as long as I point out how this can change?), but I did not contradict myself. These are two separate cultures, and one culture can change into another with enough political will.
> I actually said that race doesn't matter. Your "evidence" you posted about the Nigerians actually supports what I said.
I also said that race doesn't matter. My point was that cultures can change, which is the point I have been continuously making and the point that you have been continuously missing. "European culture" isn't uniform. There are many who have been enlightened and can think rationally, and there are many who are still superstitious and not yet capable of doing so. Their culture can be fixed, and it is not politically incorrect to say so, though many conservatives find that offensive.
> you appear to have no desire for anything other than virtue signalling.
Apparently, saying that a problem is fixable and supporting policies to fix them is "virtue signaling," while saying that a problem is somebody else's problem and doing nothing is actual virtue in conservative culture. At the risk of virtue signaling again, I'll say that this self-defeating culture that results in high crime societies and slow economic progress can be fixed, just like any other.
