    I don't like anyone who lived north of the Ordos loop circa 200 BC. But to give a less flip answer, basically any people descendant from the barbarians that emerged from Eurasian steppe in antiquity. Huns, Avars, Alans included. These bastards ruin civilization wherever they go and they still do. I fully support any Greek maximalist who want to reclaim their Anatolian holdings and booting those invaders off Cyprus too.

    Qin was a fiefdom, one of those granted by the Kings of Zhou, the first Chinese polity, to the Ying clan. A descendant of whom became the first emperor. Think of a European title like the Duke of Anjou. If a descendant of that Duke became emperor, he would rename the entire state the Empire of Anjou. That is where Chinese Dynastic state names tend to get their origin from, a practice that remained in effect until around 1280. Another tradition ruined by barbarians.

    Dude you are so fucking weird, Jesus Christ. Cucklin, why does fringe politics attract so many weird people?

    You would probably be less amused if you knew which injustices I had in mind Turk. My enmities are a little more primal and ancient than the mere opium wars which were a farce. I am a Han racialist and not a Chinese nationalist. Oh I have no love for the perfidious Albion and am smirking at the prospect at her being annihilated by self inflicted barbarian hordes. It's just that given the option I'd rather have the road from Xian to Constantinople lined with gibbets filled with your kinsmen, the stinking degenerate steppe nomad.

    Manchuria didn't exist until the 19th century. Rather it conflates two historical separate areas. The Northern sector of Heilongjiang and parts of Jilin were barbarians lands. Southern Manchuria, i.e. Liaoning has been Chinese long before the Manchus showed up.

    Of course not all women only care about aggression in men, they want status too. White men, despite I suspect many here would disagree, still have the highest status in the West and really the world at large…but find high status whites and more aggressive ones at that a winning combination.

    You can just say Jewish.

    Some of the Chinese history books have the same viewpoint as you. I remember reading that some of the Manchu families had not worked in 200 years but lived on government subsidizes just for being Manchu.

    Just out of curiosity: are such textbooks currently available on the internet?

    Its always been rather silly. Both populations have huge influence from an ancestral O-M176 haplogroup, although technically the Japanese have an unique D haplogroup and Koreans bits of the mainland North Chinese O3 and small traces of Mongolian C3.

    Overall, Japanese face is generally longer, while the Korean face has a more prominent jaw and higher cheekbones. For some reason, the Korean population apparently has a subgroup with more Caucasian features, and I'm not sure why(something I need to research).

    I am lactose tolerant, 6’2″ tall, very fair, have double eyelids and “big eyes,” long (for an East Asian) nose, and have reddish body/facial hair. I’m also quite hairy – a lot of people say I am the hairiest Asian they ever met. I can grow a full, red-tinged, beard. Someone on Razib Khan’s blog told me that the red hair is from eastern (Asian) Neanderthal genes.

    My wife thinks that the Asian celebrity I most resemble is Takeshi Kaneshiro.

    I had my genetic ancestry testing done, and I did come out as 10% shared with modern Mongolians (and 99.9% shared with modern East Asians and 0.1% shared with Native Americans), and something like 4-5 times more likely than average East Asian to have light eyes and light hair. I have caramel eyes and black hair, but have children with green eyes and red/brown/blondish hair (my wife is 99.9% Northwestern European, almost entirely British/Irish, German, and Scandinavian).

    Northern Chinese genetics definitely show closer relation with northern groups, though it could be from an ancestor population that no longer exists.

    Northern Chinese genetics definitely show closer relation with northern groups, though it could be from an ancestor population that no longer exists.

    I think it’s VERY likely that both Northern Chinese and Koreans/Japanese had substantial infusion of eastern Siberian gene flow in prehistoric and ancient times. It’s probably more accurate to say that there was gene flow from ancestor populations that no longer exist in their earlier forms. In other words, both Northern Chinese and Koreans/Japanese probably have a good deal of genes from people the ancient Chinese called “Dong Hu.”

    You think wrong. The Northern Han have very little steppe ancestry and practically none from Koreans (it is the other way around, Northern Han gene flow into Korea).

    You think wrong. The Northern Han have very little steppe ancestry and practically none from Koreans (it is the other way around, Northern Han gene flow into Korea).

    I am not a geneticist by any means, but I think Northern Han are much more genetically shifted toward eastern Siberian (not “steppe”)/northern Manchurian genes than Southern Han people. The Han people are, more or less, on a north-south spectrum in their genetic clustering (with some exceptions due to later colonizations, e.g. Sichuan).

    Your Han purism is unscientific.

    You’d be amazed how hot under the collar many Englishmen still get about things like the Civil War (mid-17th century). Not long ago I got into a fierce argument over the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and I was accused of being a Jacobite traitor.
     
    I sort of understand...my father's English, and has at times stated his regret that Britain didn't have a strong monarchy like on the continent in the 17th/18th centuries, with non-conformists just being burned at the stake (he regards them as partly responsible for later subversive developments)...maybe a bit extreme, but views of that past can still be important for people's self-conception, even though the actual issues have long since faded into obscurity.

    In Hungary some people criticize the first king István for having murdered pagans (including a vast number of his own relatives, real or potential pretenders to the throne), and that goes back a thousand years. Though I think it’s all mostly based on a very popular early 1980s rock opera, so this debate really just goes back a few decades.

    I think many of these seemingly very old debates have long ago been forgotten, but then revived in some later age, often based on faulty understanding of the issue at hand. People then believe they represent an ancient viewpoint, when in fact probably no one at the time thought like these modern people.

    Yes, I think that’s very much the case. Especially in the case of the English Civil War which is all too often interpreted in terms of modern political disputes and ideologies. It’s amazing how often people assume that the Parliamentarians believed in democracy.

    You'd be amazed how hot under the collar many Englishmen still get about things like the Civil War (mid-17th century). Not long ago I got into a fierce argument over the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and I was accused of being a Jacobite traitor. And try suggesting to an Englishman that Elizabeth I was actually a disastrous and incompetent monarch. Or that the execution of Mary Queen of Scots was simple murder.

    I've even witnessed some extraordinarily nasty arguments over whether Richard III really did murder the Princes in the Tower and that's going back over 500 years.

    Australians just don't have a long enough history to match that. Although I'm still pretty bitter about the British dragging us into the First World War and sending young Australians off to invade the Ottoman Empire.

    If I understand correctly that relates to the traditionally non-Han areas like Xinjiang and Tibet that were brought under control/suzerainty by the Qing (also Manchuria of course), because for keeping them it was advantageous to regard the Qing as a genuinely Chinese dynasty?

    Its not really per se about the Boxers. Its the overall humiliation experienced. Chinese forces were curbstomped ridiculously beyond their imagination by the British, and there were various other forms of indignities that for one reason or another, the Germans never indulged in.

    The Germans also helped create the popular beer Tsingtao which is hard not to appreciate.Silly, no? But beer has significant soft cultural power.

    Being pissed at the British in some form is pretty common among lots of people. My grandfather hated the guts of the British until his dying day. As an Australian he fought the Turks on behalf of the British in WW1. He came back to Australia thinking the Turks were pretty OK people but my God he hated the British.

    Among Australians of the WW2 generation anti-British hatred was pretty common too.

    Hey Greasy,

    They both told me that nobody in Pakistan gives a shit about the ethnic divisions in the country. Are you saying they were wrong?
     
    In general this is true, but just because you don't care about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The whole raison detre for Pakistan is that a bunch of various majority-Muslim ethnic groups decided that a religious national identity meant more than their various ethno-linguistic identities.

    So for instance, I have learned quite a bit from Islamic scholars and teachers from Pakistan that are Punjabi - but they are Punjabi and I am not.

    Another example are how various groups wear their headdress; the Balochis wear their turban a specific way:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=balochi+turban&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5j86Cj87YAhULyWMKHQ-zDl0QsAQIKA&biw=1344&bih=774

    And the Sindhis like to wear their caps, but which are distinct from everyone else:
    https://www.google.com/search?biw=1344&bih=774&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=wmdWWv8rjNyPA4zvvqAG&q=sindhi+cap&oq=sindhi+cap&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l7j0i30k1l2j0i24k1.102941.104741.0.105108.10.9.0.1.1.0.155.1150.0j9.9.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.10.1157...0i67k1.0.z5LAVy77OAc

    The point is to enjoy the differences (especially the various foods) and not make a big deal out of them. So mostly people don't care about differences, and a lot of intermarriage occurs - my family married into Afghans and Punjabis and many people are bi-lingual or more. But sometimes ethnic divisions due come up if one group feels unfairly marginalized or if their is nepotism, etc. There has been a low-level insurgency in Balochistan for a while now. Same old, same old.

    Peace.

    Its always been rather silly. Both populations have huge influence from an ancestral O-M176 haplogroup, although technically the Japanese have an unique D haplogroup and Koreans bits of the mainland North Chinese O3 and small traces of Mongolian C3.

    I had my genetic ancestry testing done, and I did come out as 10% shared with modern Mongolians (and 99.9% shared with modern East Asians and 0.1% shared with Native Americans), and something like 4-5 times more likely than average East Asian to have light eyes and light hair.

    Interesting that the Japanese look to be in between the north Chinese and the Mongolians.

    That appears to reflect the Altaic heritage of the aboriginal Japanese. There was migration of that group to the coast down the Amur River and across a land bridge to Japan with the worsening of the late Pleistocene climate. They absorbed the Austronesian group that had migrated by the sea route and gave rise to the Jomon culture. Chinese admixture started around the First Millennium BCE and gave rise to the Yayoi culture. The closest modern analog to the original Altaic migrants are the Ainu on Hokkaido, although it appears they are genetically distinct from the Jomon.

    I think it's VERY likely that both Northern Chinese and Koreans/Japanese had substantial infusion of eastern Siberian gene flow in prehistoric and ancient times. It's probably more accurate to say that there was gene flow from ancestor populations that no longer exist in their earlier forms. In other words, both Northern Chinese and Koreans/Japanese probably have a good deal of genes from people the ancient Chinese called "Dong Hu."

    Manchuria was a gift of the Manchu emperors to the Han Chinese. The Han Chinese would probably not have been able to conquer it themselves until the Russians showed up (and then it wouldn’t be a part of China). So they should be grateful for it.

    A very dubious gift. The Han Chinese Ming had powerful armies and excellent commanders at their heydays – defeating even Europeans repeatedly in Portuguese and Dutch conflicts on both land and sea. However, mandarins usually advised against territorial conquest since it was seen as an expensive and bloody venture, and Manchuria was like a lot of lands there: poorly arable and inhospitable and really hard to justify colonizing(on top of a closed off mentality).

    To this day, the lands are mostly useless.

    The steppe could only support 2-3 million people maximum. While China’s dense farming population was about 50-100 million till the Ming population explosion. I doubt that there would be significant genetic input from the steppe. Minor admixture i would agree.

    Manchuria didn’t exist until the 19th century. Rather it conflates two historical separate areas. The Northern sector of Heilongjiang and parts of Jilin were barbarians lands. Southern Manchuria, i.e. Liaoning has been Chinese long before the Manchus showed up.

    I am not a geneticist by any means, but I think Northern Han are much more genetically shifted toward eastern Siberian (not "steppe")/northern Manchurian genes than Southern Han people.

    I looked on the dance floor and noticed that every white male officer on the floor (local and transient) was with a local girl. They were mesmerized by the Asian women as they should be -- beautiful, feminine, alluring, receptive. There were no White women on the dance floor.

    There were a number of white female officers sitting on chairs along a back wall. I think the appropriate term is "wallflower". They got the message. Their strained expressions said it all.

    The dating website OKCupid collects and post data and analysis on racial preferences across multiple years. The dataset comes from 25 million accounts.

    https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-107dcbb4f060

    In 2009, White men showed a 6% preference for Asian women, a -18% preference for Black women, a 2% preference for Latina women, and a 10% preference for White women. Notice that almost half of the White men preferred non-White women ... 8% preference for non-White women vs. a 10% preference for White women.

    In 2014, White men showed a 9% preference for Asian women (+3), a -17% preference for Black women (+1), a 3% preference for Latina women (+1), and a 6% preference for White women (-4). Notice that five years later that White men showed a 12% preference for non-White women vs. a 6% preference for White women.

    Ironically, in spite of gender feminism and its attempts to masculinize women and emasculate men, White men remain the favored preference for White women ... and the aggregate preference of women of all races. In 2009, White women showed a 17% preference for White men. In 2014, that preference was 19% (+2).

    Sorry, ladies, White men are looking elsewhere in ever greater numbers. Perhaps time to pay more attention to being feminine, alluring, and receptive ... with less emphasis on being whiny and needy victims of the White Male Patriarchy. You've got competition.

    Hmmm, looks like asian men are thoroughly cucked. At least asian guys can sit on the sidelines and watch as the arabs,pakis,africans cuck white men and slowly take over Europe neighborhood block and schadenfreude as the mestizos reclaim California,Arizona and Texas.

    Don’t know how things will turn out in US due to the Trump effect but once the next leftist democrat President gets elected. I hope he/she opens the floodgates again to hyper aggressive,low inhibtion africans,arabs and mestizos!

    Its hard not to see the Manchu as invaders because, well, they were. Much as the Mongols were. However, they were basically sinicized for all practical purposes as seems to be fate of people who invade China. That has been seen as a kind of pride - that victory at arms never is followed by cultural victory, and therefore is seen as the sign of superior culture in spite of inferior force of arms(though of course, the latter is significantly more complicated due to internal chaos, etc, which were taken advantage of by the barbarians).

    That the West did not suffer the same cultural fate after their victory was exceptional.

    All of China’s previous conquerors were less cultured and less literate than the Chinese. Sinicization is inevitable if your bureaucracy (tax gatherers) are all Chinese, if all the relevant interesting culture is produced in Chinese, etc.

    This is just wrong. The Manchu barbarians were never Sinicized, they were only ever loyal to their barbarian usurper selves. For example, the requirement of appointing Manchu officers for the new model army. The concentration of loyalist banner forces around Beijing. The laughable policy of favoring incompetent Manchu officials at all levels over more qualified Han Chinese, the farther up the ranks you go the more systemic it became. They "claimed" they represented China, but every single policy was aimed at weakening the social cohesion of the Han race and privileging Manchu's at their expense. As the dysfunctional foreign regime became more dysfunctional it also became even more manchufied until it ended up being entirely governed by a coterie of useless imperial princes. Do you even realize that the entire banner forces had essentially become a giant welfare program by the 18th century and because government revenue was so low, that they began kicking Chinese en mass out of the banner force so more gimmes could be paid to Mongols and Manchus? They obviously weren't Sinicized enough to not join up with the Japanese to found a Manchukuo puppet state.

    Let me give you another example of how treacherous these nomads are. The Xibe were a tribe, one of the last ones incorporated into the Manchu banners and in the 18th century they were basically sent out to Xinjiang as a garrison force. Their entire raison d'etre was to defend the frontiers of the Chinese state and keep the Turks in line. Now these nomadic scum, despite speaking Chinese, mouthing Confucian pieties, practicing Buddhism, etc not only failed to justify their very purpose, but turned traitor. End of WW2, Stalin started plotting as Stalin was wont to do and instigated a revolt in northern Xinjiang. The Uyghurs now claim this as their independent state of East Turkestan and Western journalists too stupid to ask questions repeat this claim. The Uyghurs who overwhelmingly inhabited the South remained loyal to the RoC. What it was, was a Soviet backed putsch by Kazakhs. A particular tribe of Kazakh scum who had only arrived in Xinjiang the 1920's after being given refuge from the Soviet collectivization by the Chinese (Germans take note that Muslim refugee ingratitude is a historically established pattern). They were lead by Russian officers, commands were issued in Russian and weapons were delivered by the Soviets and only replaced with captured Chinese weapons when it came time for plausible deniability. After it became clear that the Nationalists were losing the Civil War and Chinese Communist forces were winning, the Soviets disarmed them, and Stalin subsequently had their useful idiot leaders shot by firing squad after their usefulness came to an end. I meander a bit, but back to the Xibe who were supposed to have defended the Chinese state for 200 years actually ended up joining the Kazakh rebellion. Naturally the progression of rebel forces meant the rape, murder, and dispossession of Chinese communities in their path as is the standard operating mode of Turk looting bands. That is how loyal and sinicized the Manchu's were. They abandoned oaths of loyalty to defend Chinese interests to join their stupid steppe cousins to terrorize Han Chinese when the opportunity arose. To call them acculturated is to spit on the blood of my ancestors that they shed.

    If we claim that the Manchurian Qing is foreign then it would have just given credibility to the Japanese imperialist vision of an independent manchuko. It was much better to claim Qing as an Chinese dynasty to put into question the Japanese puppet state of Manchuko.

    But this is because history is written in retrospect. Most southern Han during the time were anti Qing and viewed the Manchus as barbarians.

    Manchuria was a gift of the Manchu emperors to the Han Chinese. The Han Chinese would probably not have been able to conquer it themselves until the Russians showed up (and then it wouldn’t be a part of China). So they should be grateful for it.

    Manchuria didn't exist until the 19th century. Rather it conflates two historical separate areas. The Northern sector of Heilongjiang and parts of Jilin were barbarians lands. Southern Manchuria, i.e. Liaoning has been Chinese long before the Manchus showed up.
    , @Daniel Chieh
    A very dubious gift. The Han Chinese Ming had powerful armies and excellent commanders at their heydays - defeating even Europeans repeatedly in Portuguese and Dutch conflicts on both land and sea. However, mandarins usually advised against territorial conquest since it was seen as an expensive and bloody venture, and Manchuria was like a lot of lands there: poorly arable and inhospitable and really hard to justify colonizing(on top of a closed off mentality).

    To this day, the lands are mostly useless.

    but after they inherited the Qing dynasty they had to play down the anti manchu sentiment if they did not the country might disintergrate
     
    If I understand correctly that relates to the traditionally non-Han areas like Xinjiang and Tibet that were brought under control/suzerainty by the Qing (also Manchuria of course), because for keeping them it was advantageous to regard the Qing as a genuinely Chinese dynasty?
    It's always interesting to me how contentious aspects of even the somewhat remote past are in many cultures and civilizations, and how people regard it as relevant to the present day, that's quite the contrast with many (not all) Western countries today (my own country being an extreme example, there is no history here anymore except 1933-45).

    If we claim that the Manchurian Qing is foreign then it would have just given credibility to the Japanese imperialist vision of an independent manchuko. It was much better to claim Qing as an Chinese dynasty to put into question the Japanese puppet state of Manchuko.

    And if you want to speak of ancestral blood, my family was able to hold official titles for hundreds of years, through two dynasties; we had buried bones in Pudong for so long that it even held grave goods and treasures that we had family lore to excavate “in the event of emergency.” Now the Communists have put an airport directly over our ancestral graves, so much for the ghosts. Do you realize how many generations of imperial examinations we must have aced, and struggled through including the centuries under active anti-Han Qing administration?

    Yet I am essentially one of the last branches of my family. It wasn’t the Manchus that eradicated us, no, but other Han(and some help from Japanese) thanks to our solid support of the KMT. Should I hold a particular grudge for other Han now because the Communists targeted us for being “landowners?” That actually took the effort to try to wipe out an entire family tree?

    You speak of blood, we died at Shanghai against the Imperial Japanese, we died against the Communists on the mainland, we died to protect the Taiwanese and Lord Chiang(or rather, his ambitions) on Kinmen. In the end, my grandfather was the only survivor of an entire clan.

    And look at how grateful Taiwanese are now for the sacrifices of the KMT. I particularly loved the one who wanted to explain how Taiwan should be Japanese, so much did he hate being Chinese/Han.

    I am not, in general, a big fan of miscegenation, but there is one good argument in favor of it: it reduces the incidence of genetic disease. Once, many years ago, I was at a party, and a Colombian doctor pointed out that pure-bread dogs tended to have all kinds of weird genetic conditions, whereas mutts could survive all conditions. "Some of these mutts," he told me, "you couldn't even kill with a shotgun." Slight hyperbole, but scientifically speaking, valid.

    Mutts are usually healthier than most commonly available purebred dogs, but most are worthless if you are buying the animal to actually do anything, i.e., a hunting dog, sheep herding dog, whatever.

    I don’t know about crosses of closely related working or hunting breeds-if you cross a labrador dog to a golden retriever bitch, both of which retrieve really well, will the pups be less inclined to be effective retrievers than had you found the “correct” sire or dam?

    Also, the popular on-purpose crosses commercially available, like the labradoodle, peek-a-poo, et al, are often made by breeding a sire and dam (or at least the dam) of lesser quality than would be used to breed purebred dogs, because there is no consideration of quality by a kennel club or knowledgeable buyers. Such dogs can be great pets or worthless. But if you just want a pet you should not be going to a breeder, you should get a rescue or pound dog or get a pup from the neighbors whose Dixibelle got knocked up when she got out the gate while in heat.

    I think northern Chinese "Han" people have had considerable genetic input from "northern and eastern barbarians."

    Pretty much exactly this. Northern Chinese have considerable input from early Han, Mongols, Koreans, etc. Southern Chinese were the traditional rice cultivators including the Yue kingdom. This has further been complicated by the power centers(and population) shifting from north to south during the Song, and then back north by the Ming.

    Qin was a fiefdom, one of those granted by the Kings of Zhou, the first Chinese polity, to the Ying clan. A descendant of whom became the first emperor. Think of a European title like the Duke of Anjou. If a descendant of that Duke became emperor, he would rename the entire state the Empire of Anjou. That is where Chinese Dynastic state names tend to get their origin from, a practice that remained in effect until around 1280. Another tradition ruined by barbarians.

    Of course. The Manchu had seen what had happened to the Yuan and likewise were not in any capability to actually rule a large nation, so they practiced brutal oppression of the majority. Nonetheless, Chinese territory expanded significantly beneath the Qin dynasty.

    Its not really like the Han-run Ming Dynasty made brilliant decisions, starting with isolating themselves from the world. Corruption was rife and constant factional struggles led eventually to Wei Zhongxian to destroy capable officials as brilliantly as any northern barbarian. Toward the end, the bankrupt nation wasn’t even paying soldiers on time.

    Ultimately, it was internal weakness that invited invaders – literally, with the Manchu.

    If by sentiments you mean getting back at Whitey? Then yes, among a certain sector of nationalist sentiment, however this isn't exactly what I meant or perhaps more accurately isn't entirely what I meant.

    The opium wars as I said were a farce and inconsequential, the boxer rebellion even more so. A mere superstitious peasant rebellion driven by drought and hatred of Christian converts thought to have caused it that disappeared the day the rains arrived and their Christians neighbors burnt out. My enmity for the sassanachs stems from their assistance render to the Qing government during the Taiping Rebellion.

    In cannonical Chinese story as tought by both the Communists and West is that the opium wars are the beginning China's so-called century of humiliation. This Whig history (read nonsense) simply isn't true. China's century of humiliation began much earlier and it was actually already two centuries. The problem was China simply wasn't sovereign at the time, the Qing government being an illegitimate regime of scheming barbarian scavengers who had by circumstance and race treason seized the throne for themselves and enslaved the Chinese race, the Han race (This is literally true as the institution of slavery was reintroduced by the Qing and Qing courtiers had to refer to themselves in the presence of their dog emperor as "Your slave" rather than "Your minister").

    There are many similarities between the simultaneous collapse of the Ming and the Thirty Years war, chiefly that the main beneficiaries of the internal warfare, economic collapse, and crazed anaptists, both happened to be foreigners. Sweden primarily in Germany's case and the Manchu scum in the case of China. In both cases, basically the fighting had rather than leading to decisive advantage lead to general chaos and an intense merciless power struggle between many competing groups. A more cohesive new force joined the fighting at an opportune time and was able to act as a loadstone to gather to it otherwise disorganized forces around and eventually press their advantage. This was basically how tiny Sweden managed to become overlord of half of Germany and built a sizable empire (until she lost to the Russians) and how the Manchu were able to attract and coalesce various Ming remnant forces after rebels had sacked Beijing leaving the legitimate emperor dead.

    Rather than the standard history of China having stagnated, it was regressed. The standard of living declined dramatically from the mid 17th century to the mid 19th century when the century of humiliation had began. In terms of per capita grain availabily, land, wages, etc Manchu misrule of China had cut incomes by a third. Even worse than the loss of wealth was the loss of purpose as the Manchu's in order to justify their heathen barbarian rule did irreparable damage to Chinese society via their literary inquisitions. 19th century China had been scarred like the areas of Southeastern Europe that had fallen to barbarian Ottoman Islamic rule and most Europeans should be familiar with how those nations faired compared to those that had safely been kept safe under the Austrian Catholic aegis. The damage that the Qing Manchu barbarians inflicted on China vastly overshadows what little the British let alone what the French and Germans had done (Basically nothing except inflate Wilhelm's vainglorious pretentions at home in Europe). The Great Sin of the British however was their support of the Qing court during the Taiping rebellion which was on course to topple Manchu rule. Instead British support aided the barbarian usurpers and let the decrepit Qing survive long past its smell date and it's rotting and clinging presence set up China's political troubles during the early Republic by fragmenting authority to regional elites.

    But of course all of this is generally not the standard interpretation of the period and instead Whig history prevails both in China and abroad so popular resentment is incorrectly directed at the British in particular (thoroughly deserved) and Westerners in general instead of at the illegitimate barbarians misrulers of China herself. Chinese history as it was understood during the Republican period actually more closely mirrors my understanding but the Communists marxist interpretation of history has washed all that away.

    Did you know that some of the California Chinese are descended from Taiping rebels who fled when the Imperial troops conquered them. They came in the 1830s & 40s before the Gold Rush, but not to San Francisco mostly Monterey.

    I guess from the point of Han trying to get their country back, the Opium war Taiping rebellion and retard Emperors was great. Not so good for everybody else.

For those children sufficiently self aware, this is akin to getting hit in the face with the fact that your mother is a whore and your father a John every time they look in the mirror with an additional racial edge. It is a literal scarlet letter that they are burdened with their entire lives. Bourgeoisie whites are too well socialized to ever publicly admit such thoughts but everyone is thinking it even if it is unvocalized.

    AMWF general come from an entirely oppositional dynamic where their socio-economic status in their respective communities tend to be significantly higher than their reverse gendered pairings.

    I agree though, down with race mixing. I want to preserve the patrimony left by my forefathers and want my descendants to work for the restoration of the Han race. To bring glory to my ancestors and bloodily avenge past injustices, not create another caste of rootless cosmopolitans.

    You are right, of course. The white male and Asian female pairings, especially among the older generations, include a large fraction of poorly matched couples of disparate backgrounds. Many of those were products of the American military presence in Asia.

    Today, however, even WMAF pairings are typically of the middle class variety between American-born partners. There is really a pretty noticeable generational difference in these pairings.

    As you pointed out, Asian male and white female couples, on the other hand, have been more “assortative” even in the past. My wife and I have been married a quarter century now, and even back then, our friends, families, and relatives all thought we were a very good match (same university, both high level athletes, both with doctorates, a very similar sense of absurdist humor, and both from highly traditional, Christian families).

    The problem with your thesis is you're cherry picking. So you have evidence of defective self-loathing SJW hapas. You can blame that on interbreeding, but why is it that the defective hapas all have defective parents on both sides? The hapa who writes that longing for death website freely admits that his father was afraid to look people in the eye and crosses the street to avoid walking past larger men and had 0 social skills, and the mother's whole family was self-loathing and self destructive and prone to suicide. And of course they are a bunch of SJWs who accept no responsibility and blame the whole thing on society. You don't find it curious the AM/WF is supposedly better than the reverse? They've assimilated into diseased white SJWism that blames white males for their own mental dysfunction.

    Seriously read that website. That hapa's message isn't just that white guys are trash and no one wants them, but also asian men are worse than trash an no one wants them, and asian woman are trash and no one wants them (I notice the asian incel doesn't say anything about blonde women). He tells asian women that any white guy who even date them is automatically trash who can't do any better because no one would want them (that has to be blatantly toxic and abusive in a relationship, no wonder no one wants him! Systemic white supremacism is obviously the only explanation). The guy is a deranged loser trying to spread his misery because he blames everyone else for him being mentally unstable and self loathing.

    And again, by his own history, his white father was also self loathing and his chinese mother was also also self loathing (and killed herself).

    That defective white + defective asian = defective hapa proves nothing about miscegenation. It just proves apples fall off trees. I don't know what your politics is but look who you're siding with here, these people created r/althappa because they kicked everyone who was well adjusted out of their struggle session. This is a group that's self selected for mental illness probably on both sides of the tree.

    That defective white + defective asian = defective hapa proves nothing about miscegenation.

    Yes. Or it could just be that one guy is just mentally ill despite “normal” genes. Either way, it proves nothing.

    My children (half-white/half-East Asian) are all around 80-95 percentile in height for their respective ages, based on the white American chart. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, then, that I am around 6’2″ and my wife is 5’10″.

    It doesn’t mean all Hapas are tall, of course… just the ones with tall parents/genes + good nutrition.

    Pretty much exactly this. Northern Chinese have considerable input from early Han, Mongols, Koreans, etc. Southern Chinese were the traditional rice cultivators including the Yue kingdom. This has further been complicated by the power centers(and population) shifting from north to south during the Song, and then back north by the Ming.

    You think wrong. The Northern Han have very little steppe ancestry and practically none from Koreans (it is the other way around, Northern Han gene flow into Korea).
    , @Third world nationalist
    The steppe could only support 2-3 million people maximum. While China's dense farming population was about 50-100 million till the Ming population explosion. I doubt that there would be significant genetic input from the steppe. Minor admixture i would agree.

    My righteous grudge is natural. It is the cause of justice, of civilized sedentary farming peoples everywhere to enjoy the fruits of their productive labour free from the looting and despoiling nature of the people of the steppes whose principal occupation for the past several millennia has been nothing more than banditry and parasitism, the success of which was based on nothing but the speed and number of their horses. Their cultures are dirt, their civilizations are dirt, their people are dirty thieves, and all they have to offer even today is more dirt.

    As to the Japanese, I don't care about them as they are presently an American satrapy and incapable of independent action. The Japanese made their go at empire, they failed and are a subject people now as a result of it. That they can't readily admit it because of their stiff pride is not my problem. Though I cant fault their pride as that would be pretty hypocritical.

    Main purpose of my comment was to make people think twice about miscegenation, let alone celebrating it. I can understand why inferior races like negroes would race mix, but orientals and whites who destroy their lineage should be ashamed.

    And in any case you are a race traitor and miscegenationist so go to hell.

    Ever so classy.

    Besides, treason as such requires a legal body, e.g. the United States of America, to which I have pledged loyalty previously. Since there is no requirement for loyalty to a “race” – however it is defined – the whole concept of a “race traitor” collapses (except in the mind of a person such as you).

    While race is a very useful scientific and social concept, legal transgressions such as treason requires violation of discrete boundaries, which race – good or bad – does not have.

    As for hell, only my God knows. If I did, unfortunately and tragically, go to hell, I reckon it won’t be for “miscegenation,” but enjoying and not regretting the killings of America’s foreign enemies too much.

    This is just wrong. The Manchu barbarians were never Sinicized, they were only ever loyal to their barbarian usurper selves. For example, the requirement of appointing Manchu officers for the new model army. The concentration of loyalist banner forces around Beijing. The laughable policy of favoring incompetent Manchu officials at all levels over more qualified Han Chinese, the farther up the ranks you go the more systemic it became. They "claimed" they represented China, but every single policy was aimed at weakening the social cohesion of the Han race and privileging Manchu's at their expense. As the dysfunctional foreign regime became more dysfunctional it also became even more manchufied until it ended up being entirely governed by a coterie of useless imperial princes. Do you even realize that the entire banner forces had essentially become a giant welfare program by the 18th century and because government revenue was so low, that they began kicking Chinese en mass out of the banner force so more gimmes could be paid to Mongols and Manchus? They obviously weren't Sinicized enough to not join up with the Japanese to found a Manchukuo puppet state.

    Let me give you another example of how treacherous these nomads are. The Xibe were a tribe, one of the last ones incorporated into the Manchu banners and in the 18th century they were basically sent out to Xinjiang as a garrison force. Their entire raison d'etre was to defend the frontiers of the Chinese state and keep the Turks in line. Now these nomadic scum, despite speaking Chinese, mouthing Confucian pieties, practicing Buddhism, etc not only failed to justify their very purpose, but turned traitor. End of WW2, Stalin started plotting as Stalin was wont to do and instigated a revolt in northern Xinjiang. The Uyghurs now claim this as their independent state of East Turkestan and Western journalists too stupid to ask questions repeat this claim. The Uyghurs who overwhelmingly inhabited the South remained loyal to the RoC. What it was, was a Soviet backed putsch by Kazakhs. A particular tribe of Kazakh scum who had only arrived in Xinjiang the 1920's after being given refuge from the Soviet collectivization by the Chinese (Germans take note that Muslim refugee ingratitude is a historically established pattern). They were lead by Russian officers, commands were issued in Russian and weapons were delivered by the Soviets and only replaced with captured Chinese weapons when it came time for plausible deniability. After it became clear that the Nationalists were losing the Civil War and Chinese Communist forces were winning, the Soviets disarmed them, and Stalin subsequently had their useful idiot leaders shot by firing squad after their usefulness came to an end. I meander a bit, but back to the Xibe who were supposed to have defended the Chinese state for 200 years actually ended up joining the Kazakh rebellion. Naturally the progression of rebel forces meant the rape, murder, and dispossession of Chinese communities in their path as is the standard operating mode of Turk looting bands. That is how loyal and sinicized the Manchu's were. They abandoned oaths of loyalty to defend Chinese interests to join their stupid steppe cousins to terrorize Han Chinese when the opportunity arose. To call them acculturated is to spit on the blood of my ancestors that they shed.

    Some of the Chinese history books have the same viewpoint as you. I remember reading that some of the Manchu families had not worked in 200 years but lived on government subsidizes just for being Manchu.

    The late Austro-Hungarian empire’s military difficulties were exacerbated by the lack of elan among it’s multiethnic soldiers. Many of whom were not particularly keen on fighting too hard for what was at heart a German monarchy within which they played second fiddle. However, their people did enjoy a fair degree of representation even if not to the degree their numbers warranted and their Hapsburg Emperor was their still their rightful King by blood. The Han people, 95% of the empire’s population, made up maybe 5% of the Qing’s senior officials and their Qing Emperor’s had the blood usurpers.

    Of course. The Manchu had seen what had happened to the Yuan and likewise were not in any capability to actually rule a large nation, so they practiced brutal oppression of the majority. Nonetheless, Chinese territory expanded significantly beneath the Qin dynasty.

    Its not really like the Han-run Ming Dynasty made brilliant decisions, starting with isolating themselves from the world. Corruption was rife and constant factional struggles led eventually to Wei Zhongxian to destroy capable officials as brilliantly as any northern barbarian. Toward the end, the bankrupt nation wasn't even paying soldiers on time.

    Ultimately, it was internal weakness that invited invaders - literally, with the Manchu.

    And if you want to speak of ancestral blood, my family was able to hold official titles for hundreds of years, through two dynasties; we had buried bones in Pudong for so long that it even held grave goods and treasures that we had family lore to excavate "in the event of emergency." Now the Communists have put an airport directly over our ancestral graves, so much for the ghosts. Do you realize how many generations of imperial examinations we must have aced, and struggled through including the centuries under active anti-Han Qing administration?

    Yet I am essentially one of the last branches of my family. It wasn't the Manchus that eradicated us, no, but other Han(and some help from Japanese) thanks to our solid support of the KMT. Should I hold a particular grudge for other Han now because the Communists targeted us for being "landowners?" That actually took the effort to try to wipe out an entire family tree?

    You speak of blood, we died at Shanghai against the Imperial Japanese, we died against the Communists on the mainland, we died to protect the Taiwanese and Lord Chiang(or rather, his ambitions) on Kinmen. In the end, my grandfather was the only survivor of an entire clan.

    And look at how grateful Taiwanese are now for the sacrifices of the KMT. I particularly loved the one who wanted to explain how Taiwan should be Japanese, so much did he hate being Chinese/Han.

    Such things are especially a risk, as Tibet is an excellent example, of foreigners(often the British) using the cause of ethnic minorities to promote separatism and strife even when the the "independent culture" is little more than an atavism.

    At any rate, the notion that the Qing themselves used the notion of the Mandate of Heaven, so even though they were foreign and did indeed practice rather abusive misrule to put it lightly, its hard to say that they did not embrace the culture in a significant form. Duke's view, as he noted himself, is pretty rare and extreme even from the KMT perspective(which I was originally from).

    As per Wiki:

    The Manchu people became the rulers during the Qing dynasty. The "orthodox" historical view emphasized the power of Han Chinese to "sinicize" their conquerors, although more recent research such as the New Qing History school revealed Manchu rulers were savvy in their manipulation of their subjects and from the 1630s through at least the 18th century, the emperors developed a sense of Manchu identity and used Central Asian models of rule as much as Confucian ones. There is however evidence of sinicization. For example, Manchus originally had their own separate style of naming from the Han Chinese, but eventually adopted Han Chinese naming practices.

    Just to clarify, I don’t really have an opinion of myself on the rights or wrongs of Chinese rule in Tibet, Xinjiang etc., these aren’t issues I can judge for myself, and I’m not a pretentious Westerner meddling in issues that are none of my concern.

    If I understand correctly that relates to the traditionally non-Han areas like Xinjiang and Tibet that were brought under control/suzerainty by the Qing (also Manchuria of course), because for keeping them it was advantageous to regard the Qing as a genuinely Chinese dynasty?
    It's always interesting to me how contentious aspects of even the somewhat remote past are in many cultures and civilizations, and how people regard it as relevant to the present day, that's quite the contrast with many (not all) Western countries today (my own country being an extreme example, there is no history here anymore except 1933-45).

    Such things are especially a risk, as Tibet is an excellent example, of foreigners(often the British) using the cause of ethnic minorities to promote separatism and strife even when the the “independent culture” is little more than an atavism.

    At any rate, the notion that the Qing themselves used the notion of the Mandate of Heaven, so even though they were foreign and did indeed practice rather abusive misrule to put it lightly, its hard to say that they did not embrace the culture in a significant form. Duke’s view, as he noted himself, is pretty rare and extreme even from the KMT perspective(which I was originally from).

    As per Wiki:

    The Manchu people became the rulers during the Qing dynasty. The “orthodox” historical view emphasized the power of Han Chinese to “sinicize” their conquerors, although more recent research such as the New Qing History school revealed Manchu rulers were savvy in their manipulation of their subjects and from the 1630s through at least the 18th century, the emperors developed a sense of Manchu identity and used Central Asian models of rule as much as Confucian ones. There is however evidence of sinicization. For example, Manchus originally had their own separate style of naming from the Han Chinese, but eventually adopted Han Chinese naming practices.

    Just to clarify, I don't really have an opinion of myself on the rights or wrongs of Chinese rule in Tibet, Xinjiang etc., these aren't issues I can judge for myself, and I'm not a pretentious Westerner meddling in issues that are none of my concern.
    Regarding the Qing, I obviously have no idea how common this view is in China, but I've seen pretty much the same argument being made in a German weekly by a young Chinese guy...he also regarded the Qing basically as foreign tyrants, humiliating the Han by dress restrictions, enforced wearing of pigtails etc.; iirc he also had a fairly negative view of some earlier foreign dynasties, like the Jurchen (?) in the 12th century (he claimed they basically forced Chinese women into state-run brothels and regarded that as an example for what happens to peoples who neglect military virtues...). So maybe such views are spreading in China?

    This is just wrong. The Manchu barbarians were never Sinicized, they were only ever loyal to their barbarian usurper selves. For example, the requirement of appointing Manchu officers for the new model army. The concentration of loyalist banner forces around Beijing. The laughable policy of favoring incompetent Manchu officials at all levels over more qualified Han Chinese, the farther up the ranks you go the more systemic it became. They "claimed" they represented China, but every single policy was aimed at weakening the social cohesion of the Han race and privileging Manchu's at their expense. As the dysfunctional foreign regime became more dysfunctional it also became even more manchufied until it ended up being entirely governed by a coterie of useless imperial princes. Do you even realize that the entire banner forces had essentially become a giant welfare program by the 18th century and because government revenue was so low, that they began kicking Chinese en mass out of the banner force so more gimmes could be paid to Mongols and Manchus? They obviously weren't Sinicized enough to not join up with the Japanese to found a Manchukuo puppet state.

    Let me give you another example of how treacherous these nomads are. The Xibe were a tribe, one of the last ones incorporated into the Manchu banners and in the 18th century they were basically sent out to Xinjiang as a garrison force. Their entire raison d'etre was to defend the frontiers of the Chinese state and keep the Turks in line. Now these nomadic scum, despite speaking Chinese, mouthing Confucian pieties, practicing Buddhism, etc not only failed to justify their very purpose, but turned traitor. End of WW2, Stalin started plotting as Stalin was wont to do and instigated a revolt in northern Xinjiang. The Uyghurs now claim this as their independent state of East Turkestan and Western journalists too stupid to ask questions repeat this claim. The Uyghurs who overwhelmingly inhabited the South remained loyal to the RoC. What it was, was a Soviet backed putsch by Kazakhs. A particular tribe of Kazakh scum who had only arrived in Xinjiang the 1920's after being given refuge from the Soviet collectivization by the Chinese (Germans take note that Muslim refugee ingratitude is a historically established pattern). They were lead by Russian officers, commands were issued in Russian and weapons were delivered by the Soviets and only replaced with captured Chinese weapons when it came time for plausible deniability. After it became clear that the Nationalists were losing the Civil War and Chinese Communist forces were winning, the Soviets disarmed them, and Stalin subsequently had their useful idiot leaders shot by firing squad after their usefulness came to an end. I meander a bit, but back to the Xibe who were supposed to have defended the Chinese state for 200 years actually ended up joining the Kazakh rebellion. Naturally the progression of rebel forces meant the rape, murder, and dispossession of Chinese communities in their path as is the standard operating mode of Turk looting bands. That is how loyal and sinicized the Manchu's were. They abandoned oaths of loyalty to defend Chinese interests to join their stupid steppe cousins to terrorize Han Chinese when the opportunity arose. To call them acculturated is to spit on the blood of my ancestors that they shed.
    , @Anatoly Karlin
    All of China's previous conquerors were less cultured and less literate than the Chinese. Sinicization is inevitable if your bureaucracy (tax gatherers) are all Chinese, if all the relevant interesting culture is produced in Chinese, etc.

    If we claim that the Manchurian Qing is foreign then it would have just given credibility to the Japanese imperialist vision of an independent manchuko. It was much better to claim Qing as an Chinese dynasty to put into question the Japanese puppet state of Manchuko.

    But this is because history is written in retrospect. Most southern Han during the time were anti Qing and viewed the Manchus as barbarians.

    You'd be amazed how hot under the collar many Englishmen still get about things like the Civil War (mid-17th century). Not long ago I got into a fierce argument over the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and I was accused of being a Jacobite traitor. And try suggesting to an Englishman that Elizabeth I was actually a disastrous and incompetent monarch. Or that the execution of Mary Queen of Scots was simple murder.

    I've even witnessed some extraordinarily nasty arguments over whether Richard III really did murder the Princes in the Tower and that's going back over 500 years.

    Australians just don't have a long enough history to match that. Although I'm still pretty bitter about the British dragging us into the First World War and sending young Australians off to invade the Ottoman Empire.

    The reasons for this are simple psycho-cultural dynamics. East Asians are simply less spontaneously violent than any other race. Intermix two groups of people and the males of one group that commit a disproportionate numbers of rapes against females of the other group will also 9 times out of 10 also be more likely to be engaged in consensual relationships. This is simple biology. Women like cads.

    The way this has been generally mitigated is by the less violent group being more organized and engaging in communal violence against the more aggressive outgroup males. See how whites reacted to blacks taking their women prior to the mid 20th century and Arabs still do today. In the liberal Western societies where the state has a monopoly on violence and clan vendetta no longer legal, the natural hierarchy asserts itself.

    Of course not all women only care about aggression in men, they want status too. White men, despite I suspect many here would disagree, still have the highest status in the West and really the world at large. East Asian women being more calculating are generally repulsed by low status blacks, but find high status whites and more aggressive ones at that a winning combination.

    It is true that white men don't actually have an Asian fetishist but rather the other way around. Asian women simply have noticeably lower standards when it comes to white men. Men generally aren't that picky when it comes to women despite everyone on the internet thumbing their noses at anything less than an 8. They follow the path of least resistance and hence will settle for the first non disagreeable woman that comes along. When White Nationalists have generally low status among their own female peer group, they are willing to settle with an Asian woman particularly since she is skinnier than his own market value would warrant.

    Women like cads.

    Too simplistic. Women like men who are socially and economically functional in the society in which they live. The dominating, sperm-donating “alpha” of PUA legend is often not socially functional or a good life partner. They know how to get women to latch onto them as a boost for their self-esteem, but their relationship skills are wanting. There are in actuality very few situations in which alpha traits mean social success – the top of the corporate food chain, sports, various ego-driven enterprises – but for most in the working world the most functional traits are those good for teamwork, social relationships, and gaining the favor of those further up in various hierarchies. Women know that.

    If by sentiments you mean getting back at Whitey? Then yes, among a certain sector of nationalist sentiment, however this isn't exactly what I meant or perhaps more accurately isn't entirely what I meant.

    The opium wars as I said were a farce and inconsequential, the boxer rebellion even more so. A mere superstitious peasant rebellion driven by drought and hatred of Christian converts thought to have caused it that disappeared the day the rains arrived and their Christians neighbors burnt out. My enmity for the sassanachs stems from their assistance render to the Qing government during the Taiping Rebellion.

    In cannonical Chinese story as tought by both the Communists and West is that the opium wars are the beginning China's so-called century of humiliation. This Whig history (read nonsense) simply isn't true. China's century of humiliation began much earlier and it was actually already two centuries. The problem was China simply wasn't sovereign at the time, the Qing government being an illegitimate regime of scheming barbarian scavengers who had by circumstance and race treason seized the throne for themselves and enslaved the Chinese race, the Han race (This is literally true as the institution of slavery was reintroduced by the Qing and Qing courtiers had to refer to themselves in the presence of their dog emperor as "Your slave" rather than "Your minister").

    There are many similarities between the simultaneous collapse of the Ming and the Thirty Years war, chiefly that the main beneficiaries of the internal warfare, economic collapse, and crazed anaptists, both happened to be foreigners. Sweden primarily in Germany's case and the Manchu scum in the case of China. In both cases, basically the fighting had rather than leading to decisive advantage lead to general chaos and an intense merciless power struggle between many competing groups. A more cohesive new force joined the fighting at an opportune time and was able to act as a loadstone to gather to it otherwise disorganized forces around and eventually press their advantage. This was basically how tiny Sweden managed to become overlord of half of Germany and built a sizable empire (until she lost to the Russians) and how the Manchu were able to attract and coalesce various Ming remnant forces after rebels had sacked Beijing leaving the legitimate emperor dead.

    Rather than the standard history of China having stagnated, it was regressed. The standard of living declined dramatically from the mid 17th century to the mid 19th century when the century of humiliation had began. In terms of per capita grain availabily, land, wages, etc Manchu misrule of China had cut incomes by a third. Even worse than the loss of wealth was the loss of purpose as the Manchu's in order to justify their heathen barbarian rule did irreparable damage to Chinese society via their literary inquisitions. 19th century China had been scarred like the areas of Southeastern Europe that had fallen to barbarian Ottoman Islamic rule and most Europeans should be familiar with how those nations faired compared to those that had safely been kept safe under the Austrian Catholic aegis. The damage that the Qing Manchu barbarians inflicted on China vastly overshadows what little the British let alone what the French and Germans had done (Basically nothing except inflate Wilhelm's vainglorious pretentions at home in Europe). The Great Sin of the British however was their support of the Qing court during the Taiping rebellion which was on course to topple Manchu rule. Instead British support aided the barbarian usurpers and let the decrepit Qing survive long past its smell date and it's rotting and clinging presence set up China's political troubles during the early Republic by fragmenting authority to regional elites.

    But of course all of this is generally not the standard interpretation of the period and instead Whig history prevails both in China and abroad so popular resentment is incorrectly directed at the British in particular (thoroughly deserved) and Westerners in general instead of at the illegitimate barbarians misrulers of China herself.

    My favorite manga is "Kingdom", it's about the Qin unification of China and the Xiongnu are present there as well. The fact that there is a real person commenting here with the nickname "Duke of Qin" who carries thousands of years old grudges against the Xiongnu is absolutely fascinating and awesome to me.

    Duke of Qin, have you read it by any chance and what do you think of it? I will be interested to hear your opinion. It's by a Japanese guy obviously, but I think it's a pretty awesome interpretation of the events and has some historicity too (nothing contradicts the Records of the Grand Historian and all events there are depicted in the manga with the accompanying direct quotes, although the author gets quite creative with the surrounding circumstances).

    Also do you carry grudges towards the Japanese as well, because of WW2? I hope not, the East Asian master race - Chinese, Koreans, Japanese - must work together to take human civilization to new heights (just as Russia and Germany working together is one of the most important conditions for the European part of civilization to survive and be revitalized).

    My righteous grudge is natural. It is the cause of justice, of civilized sedentary farming peoples everywhere to enjoy the fruits of their productive labour free from the looting and despoiling nature of the people of the steppes whose principal occupation for the past several millennia has been nothing more than banditry and parasitism, the success of which was based on nothing but the speed and number of their horses. Their cultures are dirt, their civilizations are dirt, their people are dirty thieves, and all they have to offer even today is more dirt.

    As to the Japanese, I don’t care about them as they are presently an American satrapy and incapable of independent action. The Japanese made their go at empire, they failed and are a subject people now as a result of it. That they can’t readily admit it because of their stiff pride is not my problem. Though I cant fault their pride as that would be pretty hypocritical.

    Did you know that some of the California Chinese are descended from Taiping rebels who fled when the Imperial troops conquered them. They came in the 1830s & 40s before the Gold Rush, but not to San Francisco mostly Monterey.

    I guess from the point of Han trying to get their country back, the Opium war Taiping rebellion and retard Emperors was great. Not so good for everybody else.

    That fugly author painfully labored to pretend she is confused by "white supremacists" marrying Asians.

    Feminism has always been based upon lies but it has become a hysterical noise machine.

    I married an Asian because she was hot, young, and loves me for laying down the bacon and slapping her ass every time she's close enough to swat.

    There isn't a hint of feminism in these beautiful East Asian units guys. They love men to pieces.

    What kind of a retard would choose a fugly Asian? The fugly strain causes feminism. Even in lab rats.

    “I married an Asian because she was hot, young, and loves me for laying down the bacon and slapping her ass every time she’s close enough to swat.”

    Unless you have a photograph of you and her, along with her confirming how you essentially “dominate” her, it is safe to assume you are trying to curry favor among the fine posters here by making a big boast. In other words, put up or shut up.

    As far as “white women being too feminist”, that’s more along the lines of Fake News.

    The problem with your thesis is you're cherry picking. So you have evidence of defective self-loathing SJW hapas. You can blame that on interbreeding, but why is it that the defective hapas all have defective parents on both sides? The hapa who writes that longing for death website freely admits that his father was afraid to look people in the eye and crosses the street to avoid walking past larger men and had 0 social skills, and the mother's whole family was self-loathing and self destructive and prone to suicide. And of course they are a bunch of SJWs who accept no responsibility and blame the whole thing on society. You don't find it curious the AM/WF is supposedly better than the reverse? They've assimilated into diseased white SJWism that blames white males for their own mental dysfunction.

    Seriously read that website. That hapa's message isn't just that white guys are trash and no one wants them, but also asian men are worse than trash an no one wants them, and asian woman are trash and no one wants them (I notice the asian incel doesn't say anything about blonde women). He tells asian women that any white guy who even date them is automatically trash who can't do any better because no one would want them (that has to be blatantly toxic and abusive in a relationship, no wonder no one wants him! Systemic white supremacism is obviously the only explanation). The guy is a deranged loser trying to spread his misery because he blames everyone else for him being mentally unstable and self loathing.

    And again, by his own history, his white father was also self loathing and his chinese mother was also also self loathing (and killed herself).

    That defective white + defective asian = defective hapa proves nothing about miscegenation. It just proves apples fall off trees.

  • Well, my wife is white and French – but I think Jaakko Raipala may be correct that there is some outbreeding depression. Its not impossible and certainly shouldn’t be treated as forbidden from discussion.

    At the same time, I’m pretty dubious of the idea that it doesn’t ever introduce positive alleles on a permanent basis. If outbreeding always led to a reduction in fitness, for example, beefalo wouldn’t be more successful than pure bison and non-Africans would be a fitness disadvantage due to outbreeding with Neanderthals.

    You’re right that it’s cherry picking. You could easily find a lot more examples of self-loathing and mentally defective and deranged whites, especially white SJWs, on the internet. Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, etc., are full of them.

    I don’t see any indication that hapas are less successful or more maladjusted than whites, especially considering that whites these days are increasingly afflicted with opiate and other drug and alcohol problems, rising mortality rates, declining economic prospects, etc. In my experience, hapas seem to be better off than the white mean. I don’t think this is due to anything special about the white-Asian pairing, but probably just due to assortative mating. Most white-Asian pairings are between middle/upper-middle class people who meet in college and professional environments. The GI-war bride pairing is much less common these days.

    The white-Asian pairing is the most common interracial pairing, so naturally racialists have an incentive to portray them negatively. That’s understandable, but that doesn’t make what they say about them true.

  • My favorite manga is “Kingdom”, it’s about the Qin unification of China and the Xiongnu are present there as well. The fact that there is a real person commenting here with the nickname “Duke of Qin” who carries thousands of years old grudges against the Xiongnu is absolutely fascinating and awesome to me.

    Duke of Qin, have you read it by any chance and what do you think of it? I will be interested to hear your opinion. It’s by a Japanese guy obviously, but I think it’s a pretty awesome interpretation of the events and has some historicity too (nothing contradicts the Records of the Grand Historian and all events there are depicted in the manga with the accompanying direct quotes, although the author gets quite creative with the surrounding circumstances).

    Also do you carry grudges towards the Japanese as well, because of WW2? I hope not, the East Asian master race – Chinese, Koreans, Japanese – must work together to take human civilization to new heights (just as Russia and Germany working together is one of the most important conditions for the European part of civilization to survive and be revitalized).

    My righteous grudge is natural. It is the cause of justice, of civilized sedentary farming peoples everywhere to enjoy the fruits of their productive labour free from the looting and despoiling nature of the people of the steppes whose principal occupation for the past several millennia has been nothing more than banditry and parasitism, the success of which was based on nothing but the speed and number of their horses. Their cultures are dirt, their civilizations are dirt, their people are dirty thieves, and all they have to offer even today is more dirt.

    As to the Japanese, I don't care about them as they are presently an American satrapy and incapable of independent action. The Japanese made their go at empire, they failed and are a subject people now as a result of it. That they can't readily admit it because of their stiff pride is not my problem. Though I cant fault their pride as that would be pretty hypocritical.

    Hey Greasy,

    They both told me that nobody in Pakistan gives a shit about the ethnic divisions in the country. Are you saying they were wrong?

    In general this is true, but just because you don’t care about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The whole raison detre for Pakistan is that a bunch of various majority-Muslim ethnic groups decided that a religious national identity meant more than their various ethno-linguistic identities.

    So for instance, I have learned quite a bit from Islamic scholars and teachers from Pakistan that are Punjabi – but they are Punjabi and I am not.

    Another example are how various groups wear their headdress; the Balochis wear their turban a specific way:

    The point is to enjoy the differences (especially the various foods) and not make a big deal out of them. So mostly people don’t care about differences, and a lot of intermarriage occurs – my family married into Afghans and Punjabis and many people are bi-lingual or more. But sometimes ethnic divisions due come up if one group feels unfairly marginalized or if their is nepotism, etc. There has been a low-level insurgency in Balochistan for a while now.

    Main purpose of my comment was to make people think twice about miscegenation, let alone celebrating it. I can understand why inferior races like negroes would race mix, but orientals and whites who destroy their lineage should be ashamed.

    Nathan Adrian’s father is white and his mother is Asian. There doesn’t seem to be a general pattern at all. Other successful male hapa athletes with white fathers and Asian mothers include MLB players Tim Lincecum and Johnny Damon, and former NBA player Rex Walters. But they tend to go unnoticed as hapas because they have European surnames. If anything, there seem to be more successful male hapas with white fathers/Asian mothers if only because their population is larger than male hapas with Asian fathers/white mothers.

This book is an absolute champion at the complete lack of shame among all known to me books.
