Bell curve of IQ by gender, same reason vast majority of prisoners are male.
Men have both the highest IQ and the lowest IQ. Whereas women correlate more in the middle tier with less outliers on both ends.
In general.

Very passive aggressive with a tint of superiority complex.
Ignored.

By this logic all humans in America are immigrants including “natives” because they crossed over a land bridge from Asia thousands of years ago.
Humans did not evolve in the New World.
There is a difference between colonists and immigrants which is why they are not the same word.
In simple terms, colonists are people who move to an area that is not yet established and build a state. Immigrants are people who move to an already established area.

True, but I was not excluding based on race. Including white immigrants, the majority of the US population were descendants of the colonists until fairly recently.
Large demographic changes like that take a while for complex government systems to adapt to.
Especially considering most of the change is localized to particular areas.

Is it? Or did it become one rather recently historically and so laws and society haven’t adjusted?
People love to say this, but until a few decades ago the majority of the population were descendants of the English colonists.

Lol bullshit, Americans were notoriously anti-Irish, anti-Italian, anti-German, anti-anything:
Most German immigrants all Americanized their names when entering the country to avoid being ostracized

I’m not sure.
If I had to guess I would say it’s probably due to evolutionary pressure from gender roles over thousands of years but that’s not backed up by any study.
I haven’t really researched this area much.
