I will grant you that the most oppressive regime in the world does have an impact on GDP in Korea. But DR and Haiti are not the same genetically. Haitians African ancestry is 85% and 95%. In the Dominican Republic is 38% and 40%. So I don't see that as an exception to the rule.
it all muddy and impossible to untangle. probably better not to focus on any one example. but i will say that both countries were basically under US military control through the 1930s, so there are external forces at play. gdp growth rates as trajectories probably say more than snapshots. ultimately I think it's self-evident that some genetic groups are more capable of advanced thinking than others, and that it shows up in development scores. Other factors also matter. All life is equally valuable under God. Some perform better on economics.
