Or people thinking like you, for that matter.

What exactly makes you think you are worth more than a "hick, vato or homeboy"?

A high IQ? I'd take kindness, altruism and consideration for others any day.

Classism, lack of education perhaps, you could be much more accurate and not undermine your argument by throwing racism around.

Societal decline is an effect, he was talking of a cause... that the educated tend to have fewer children, which is not in dispute.

XKCD creates a strawman and defeats it with "I don't like you!" Not his best work obviously.
