Asian Tiger enjoys his Asian diversity entitlements:

1. Preferential US immigration, citizenship, and asylum policies for Asian people
2. 8(a) federal contracts set aside for Asian owned businesses
3. Affirmative Action for Asians especially in government jobs
4. Government anti-discrimination laws for Asians
4. Government hate speech crime prosecutions for Asians
5. Sanctuary cities for illegal Asians, and other protected class groups of diversity
6. Asian espionage directed at the US is common, and many times goes unprosecuted
7. American policy allows mass importation of Asian products built with slave labor
8. Whaling allowance for Asian ethnic groups
9. Most H1-B visas awarded to Asians

The number of Asians in the U.S. is growing exponentially

Although the largest ethnic bloc among Asian immigrants is still Chinese, the fastest growing by far, have been South Asians/Indians.

All East Asian (incl. Korean, Taiwanese, Japanese) immigration has declined substantially. Non-Chinese East Asians dramatically so (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all basically have First World living standards).

as one can even see on this forum. Pretty soon every other commenter on Unz will be Asian

Judging from intermarriage, East Asians in the U.S. are much more supportive of assimilation and white majoritarianism than are South Asians.

I think I am done arguing about a book with someone who’s never read it. If you are serious, read it and then argue.

Otherwise it’s just snarking and a series of unwarranted assertions, which is only mildly amusing in a very small dose.

While you are at it, also read Chua’s “World on Fire” and then see if she’s merely “a shallow chatterbox Real Housewife of New Haven.”

should there be civil war(s).

What the F is up with your civil war obsession? Are you some kind of alienated, unmarried dork with no kid who has never seen real violence? Do you share some kind of Nazi will-to-power fantasy as Richard Spencer and his ilk do?

Both. I should note, IMO one need not be white to be a White Nationalist in the political sense. I gather you’re a citizenist, as per Sailer’s definition (correct me if I’m wrong). But you can also support White Nationalism if you want whites to be a solid perpetual majority and hegemony in their own established lands (again, greater Europe and the Anglosphere).

You can’t be both unless you corrupt one of the terms. I am a citizenist, yes. I also support “white majoritarianism,” which is what you are referring to by whites maintaining a majority in the Anglosphere. White nationalism is typically indicative of exclusion of nonwhites. White ethno-state is the word that is often invoked in association with white nationalism writ politically.

I myself don’t hold eliminationist views toward non-whites in white lands.

Glad to know you don’t want to eliminate me and my children. I should be grateful, I guess. I am guessing, though, that “I myself…” hints at your fellow-travelers holding a different view.

The rub is if civil conflict breaks out, there are likely to be racial dividing lines.

For the love of all that is sacred and holy, what is your obsession with a civil/race war? You definitely sound like someone who wants it to happen. We have A LOT to worry/think about (gee, I don’t know, electoral demographics) long before we worry about race war.

And let’s do a reality check about racial dividing lines, shall we? The last time there was a serious civil disturbance in which order of a large section of a city was lost (i.e. the L.A. Riots), what were the racial dividing lines? Were they whites vs. nonwhites? No. Blacks attacked and set fires, Hispanics looted. Whites and Asians were busy defending themselves and their livelihood.

It would be heartening if potential allies (#106) like you not only be citizenists, but support White Nationalism.

It would be extremely stupid and immoral for me to support those who hold “eliminationist views” regarding my children and me, as well as millions of my fellow citizens.

You can “choose white.” You may believe that the U.S. Constitution will survive a non-white majority, I don’t. I also prefer to live amongst whites, not “diversity.” Maybe that’s true of you, also.

I did choose. I assimilated. But I doubt that will earn me the white status in your Richard Spencer fantasy American Reich (he seems to reserve the honorary Aryan status exclusively for Asian women).

As for the U.S. Constitution, it is ALREADY subverted (my favorite subverted Amendments are the 2nd and the 10th). But I am slightly more optimistic than you in that I think a white electoral plurality will predominate for the foreseeable future. As for diversity, I prefer Mr. Derbyshire’s model of immigration – a little salt with the soup makes the soup tasty, but too much salt ruins the soup.

The stories on his site are the dull and boring crap you’d expect,but one girl got a big laugh outta me when she fervently hoped “one day the black male will be free to roam the streets…”
Indeed.

“So, in other words, you can’t prove any of your points and I win?”

You and your Asian friend ignored the facts I presented.

Bangladeshis are not faithful to their own race, i.e. Indian, but to Arab-centric Islam, then how do you expect them to be faithful to the American ideal…

Obviously beyond gay. Why doesn’t he try social justice in Bangladesh, Iran, Qatar or the multitude of African Muslim countries where gays are simply slaughtered sometimes after horrific torture?
No, you see, you cannot make money from that.

the tea party is in my opinion a phony organisation. i’ve witnessed their ‘protests’. slick signs, maybe 50 or 100 people, AT MOST. but tons of media coverage, t.v. vans everywhere. but the week before on the same state capitol steps there had been a massive anti-war protest in the hundreds of thousands with nary a ‘newsman’.

‘Sister, as soon as you invoke conspiracy theories, you are wrong. CIA plant, huh. ‘

you seem to be a troll. what do you think the cia does? anyone who doesn’t think there are conspiracies is either stupid or a liar.

‘Why do you hate human beings so much?’

i won’t speak for anon, but as for me, there’s much to hate: ignorance, lack of depth, inability to question, lack of interest in the truth, pettiness, greed, selfishness, meanness, lack of love for others not in one’s inner circle, seeing people for the benefits they bring, lack of warmth, shriveled little minds and hearts, liars, treatment of children and adults, etc. etc. these seem especially true of the anglosphere. i’ll probably get a couple of nasty remarks regarding the above.

‘ I personally likes his ruthlessness.’

you sound like a charmer

jesus, and to think stanford rejected my sincere, thoughtful application back in ’87. thoughts of going postal

what a poor guy, having fantasies about being a black thug, but in the end he just a soft and nice looking caucasian. The majority of young western people are in the same sad situation

So, in other words, you can’t prove any of your points and I win?

Awesome! Thanks!

“Admission to these schools is set at a quota. Every spot someone like this takes is a spot a better (possibly?) candidate did not receive.”

Such is life. I suggest male college applicants refer to the Return of Kings website to improve their “value”.

“His value added is little other than obstructing actual discussion. He is a modern day sophist and little beyond that role.”

No, his “value” led to substantive conversation, as evident by Mr. Sailer’s two blog postings.

“His stated goal is to convert the more gullible of his generation to believe his bizarre worldview.”

So what makes you other than gullible? And perhaps it could be you that has this “bizarre worldview”?

” There is nothing particularly wrong with that except his ideas are unoriginal and guide our nation towards ruin.”

Right, because trying to make life better for all people leads to a country self-destructing.

“Clearly this kid is adept at self-promotion about a completely false belief system.”

Again, no different than Mike Cernovich or Vox Day. Do you opine about their bogus narrative?

“While not at JS’s level, would you argue that JS has added much positive value to Amefican society? Or would you contend that his religious contributions have been a net positive?”

What metrics are involved here? How do you measure religion as a “net positive” and compare major religions in this fashion?

“What. We can’t vent in a blog comment section when an obvious shyster is praised by the establishment media?”

Vent all you want. But it comes down to action. What are you doing to stop the elites, Jews, and neocons from their machinations? Are you strong enough to get actively involved or simply impotent, thus remaining on the sidelines?

No real surprise here. Once you pander, praise, & promote, afro american dysfunctions and hostilities to the degree that it becomes acceptable; and add the reception of continuous benefits, then of course there will be other people who would want to get in on the racket (including many white millennials).

But the important contributor to this is that leftist thinking is a mental disorder that tries to take reality and manipulate it to conform to their own convoluted opinions. They reject empirical experience as anecdotal because they do not really have any real world experience themselves. They are mostly book learned through second hand information, and were taught by others with similar lack of life experience.

They get away with existing in this manner because they can avoid being tested by harsh reality (where the consequences can be severe). In our modern culture the leftist can safely pontificate from afar, and avoid testing their foolish ideas. They merely need to couch it with impressive sounding language, of sophist obfuscations, for it to pass muster among their peers.

But prior to the protections of modern society, they would have died off. There were no famous leftist movements before the modern era because harsh reality eliminated them through natural selection. In the past, trying to contradict reality, as the average leftist does, was a good way to get yourself killed. [when the myopic leftist, of the past, tried to uplift a predator, the predator received a very easy leftist happy meal instead, with the end result of another eliminated leftist].

Only in the modern era can leftist foolishness survive, and be taken seriously. In the past they were mostly useless to the daily needs of survival. Criminal predators love them because they make such good, easy, willing, naive, crime victims. The leftist are astonished when this happens because they do not believe that they should suffer from the hands of the social Frankenstein monster that they created.

manufactured outrage

What. We can’t vent in a blog comment section when an obvious shyster is praised by the establishment media?

Normal people get upset when they see the innocent getting ripped off by a conman. Now Stanford University isn’t quite innocent, but Ziad’s schemes go way deeper than this one incident, and this story is illustrative of a broader cultural rot. This example is just so pungent.

Admission to these schools is set at a quota. Every spot someone like this takes is a spot a better (possibly?) candidate did not receive. His value added is little other than obstructing actual discussion. He is a modern day sophist and little beyond that role.

His stated goal is to convert the more gullible of his generation to believe his bizarre worldview. There is nothing particularly wrong with that except his ideas are unoriginal and guide our nation towards ruin. At least Tennessee Coates can build unique ideas to explain his nonsense.

Clearly this kid is adept at self-promotion about a completely false belief system. In that respect he is no better than a modern day Joseph Smith. While not at JS’s level, would you argue that JS has added much positive value to Amefican society? Or would you contend that his religious contributions have been a net positive?

That noted, he is probably better than most at this schtick. Is that a positive trait for a university – being the most accomplished zealot? I am unsure.

“It’s good to know that you’re an honest-to-God useful idiot – a true believer – shilling for the forces of white dispossession, and not just a cynical opportunistic hypocrite. It makes your bullshit easier to bear.”

There is no white dispossession. That’s a Fake News Story. Talk about shilling!

No, golf – no, no, none of that.

I first became aware of — and hooked on — Sailer when I read Golfing With the Fishes. Interesting at so many levels.
I came to Unz to read Peter Frost when his blog Evo and Proud moved here, and was delighted to discover Steve had a blog here, as well.
I’ve had about all I can take of politics and SJWism, so nowadays I’m more likely to read and enjoy a post about golf, rock climbing or even baseball, than anything else.

he’s in America, he’s dad a rich degenerate banker, he’s probably thrilled he raised a little sex pervert.

“Islamophobia” is a dumb term, but damned if a lot of commenters on here aren’t being ridiculous about this kid. His secular liberal faggotry isn’t a form of “taqiyya”, he’s just a shallow little homo.

5 families live in my block. You?

None at the moment. And I’m satisfied with the status quo.

Three dozen. You?

A few, here and there.

I help out Somali refugees at my local church. Would you like to know more, citizen?

Not particularly.

It’s good to know that you’re an honest-to-God useful idiot – a true believer – shilling for the forces of white dispossession, and not just a cynical opportunistic hypocrite. It makes your bullshit easier to bear.

Corvinus, I hereby bestow upon you 100 GoodWhite brownie points. Don’t forget: If you earn 100,000,000 points, then your children will be exempt from the deprivations yet to come in the brave new NAM-run world of tomorrow. Only 99,999,900 to go!

Anon, you have completely gone off the rails. Your breath wreaks of solipsism and confirmation bias.

“Every honest person can see exactly what is happening here. Only a pathologically dishonest person would pretend not to.”

Division fallacy–Assuming that beliefs of some of a group belongs to an entire group.

Honest people does not refer to only those men and women who agree that BLM is a terrorist organization. You insist that an honest person must think in a certain manner, or they are automatically dishonest.

“How many black neighbors do you have?”

5 families live in my block. You?

“How many blacks do you count among your friends and associates?”

Three dozen. You?

“May I have your address? I’d be happy to pass it along to Somali refugees looking for a free place to stay. (Surely you’d be willing to help them out.)”

I help out Somali refugees at my local church. Would you like to know more, citizen?

Thanks for proving my point about people who never read the book making assertions about it.

Assertions? Come on now, I wrote “I’m guessing.”

Your comments lead me to surmise that you are not so interested in truth (or reality)

Of course i’m interested in truth and reality. I wouldn’t comment here if Steve and commenters weren’t discussing serious matters. And I welcome considered and/or humorous rebuttals to my comments. I think we had a good exchange last time we conversed.

Regarding Chua, she may be nice in person, but I’m unconvinced that an anecdote about her daughter’s meltdown during a family trip to Russia isn’t status signaling / humble bragging.

You wrote earlier:

[the book] was full of funny bits such as “I had come to accept that my dogs were not going to amount to anything.”

Ooof. Even when making a ‘joke’ she projects stereotypical Asian status anxiety. That unfunny “dogs” line hooked me into replying to you in the first place!

I thought, there must be better examples of Chua’s humor than that clunker. So I went to YouTube. Here’s Chua showcasing some punchlines from the book:

“The Chinese Zodiac describes my daughters perfectly!”

“Your violin is your pet.”

Ouch. That last one bombed hard. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t joking.

In the context of “defeating the model minority stereotype,” more oblivious humble-bragging:

I reveal in the book that I was terrible at math and science—I rebelled and went into law school, I was the first Asian American to be an executive editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Despite that, Twinkie, I must say I appreciate your earnest tabulation of why her book resonated with you regarding your family situation. I read a few reviews when it came out, they summarized it similarly, along with the more ‘sensational’ stuff.

Anyway, brace yerself—here’s my unsolicited, unvarnished Amy Chua verdict:

She’s a shallow chatterbox Real Housewife of New Haven with an above average IQ and elite credentials. In her defense, I guess it’s better that she’s a garish ticket-punching self-promoter rather than a SJW scold.

If her lectures are as hucksterish as this TEDx talk with her husband, yikes: The conclusion has them noblesse-obliging about the American underclass while pretending their HBD-agnostic “triple package” theory will help solve macro social woes. Sonia Sotomayor made it, everyone! How inspiring. 🙂

Do you feel the same way about European immigrants?

You mean racially European? Like Français de souche? No.

Do you want them to be as productive as they want in Europe, and not come to the U.S.?

Strategically, I hope they stay in their homelands at least long enough to help purge invaders and traitors, should there be civil war(s).

What about immigration to countries that are multi-racial?

Depending on how cleverly it’s parsed, almost all countries are multiracial. To clarify, I meant greater Europe and the Anglosphere.

But I am curious whether your views on immigration are based on citizenism or white nationalism.

Both. I should note, IMO one need not be white to be a White Nationalist in the political sense. I gather you’re a citizenist, as per Sailer’s definition (correct me if I’m wrong). But you can also support White Nationalism if you want whites to be a solid perpetual majority and hegemony in their own established lands (again, greater Europe and the Anglosphere).

I myself don’t hold eliminationist views toward non-whites in white lands. If one’s already here, and a citizen, one has the right to live in freedom. The rub is if civil conflict breaks out, there are likely to be racial dividing lines.

It would be heartening if potential allies (#106) like you not only be citizenists, but support White Nationalism. You can “choose white.” You may believe that the U.S. Constitution will survive a non-white majority, I don’t. I also prefer to live amongst whites, not “diversity.” Maybe that’s true of you, also.

Corvinus, this pissing match can serve no purpose.

How many black neighbors do you have? How many blacks do you count among your friends and associates?

May I have your address? I’d be happy to pass it along to Somali refugees looking for a free place to stay. (Surely you’d be willing to help them out.)

USPS surface shipment.

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

I am sorry I forgot to address this:

No, the organization focuses on peace to bring about political change. Unfortunately, there are hooligans in every crowd. You, of all people, are the poster child.

This is a false claim, like every other claim made by Black Lives Matter supporters. The Tea Party never set fires. Trump rallies never looted convenience stores. Only Black Lives Matter, because it is a terrorist organization.

And they can SAY they want peaceful protests all they want. Their protests are not peaceful.

You see, here is the problem. Say, for example, a mafioso came in and said “Hey, this is a nice little business here! It would be a shame if something happened to it!”. Then, a day later, the business is burned down.

If you have an IQ of 85 or so, you expect people to believe you when you say “How dare you suspect me! Didn’t you hear me say that it would be a shame if something happened to your business? Those were my exact words! So, clearly, it couldn’t have been me!”.

But nobody does believe that, because, with our average or greater levels of intelligence, we can see exactly what you are up to.

Like, for example. When Black Lives Matter says “Well, we’re going to have a protest here. And, you know, it just might get a little violent. It’d be a shame if that happened, but what can we do?”.

Every honest person can see exactly what is happening here. Only a pathologically dishonest person would pretend not to.

So its a little strange that you continue to do this, when you know you’re lying, and I know you’re lying, and you know that I know that you’re lying.

Why can’t you just act like an adult? Why, if you support violent, destructive organizations, can’t you just say “Yes. I support violence and destruction. I am a bad person.”?

Just be honest for once.

If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t be calling it a lie.

I would and did.

If it hadn’t been for outside agitators who pretended to embrace BLM.

Once again, a lie. No honest person ever defends Black Lives Matter.

But if it hadn’t been for the Black Lives Matter riots, there would have been nothing to infiltrate. The fires were a consequence, on way or another, of the actions of Black Lives Matter (a group which has only had a negative impact on the world).

The fires were an intended consequence of people who used BLM for cover.

“Cover” because they were set by Black Lives Matter supporters, as you know perfectly well.

It really peeves you that the goals of BLM, as a chapter-based national organization who have members,

Show me the membership lists, so you can prove that the people who set the fires aren’t members.

You MUST have seen them, since you know that none of the people who set the fires were members.

represent what a number of white people also desire.

Yes, it does peeve me that so many white people desire violence, destruction, and evil of all sorts. Guilty as charged.

No, individuals wreaked havoc.

No. Black Lives Matter wreaked havoc. Even if we presume that this havoc was unintended, they continued to set up conditions that they knew would lead to havoc.

I will grant you that the average Black Lives Matter supporter has a very low IQ, but the fact remains, they knew they were causing havoc and didn’t do anything to stop it.

You really have been thoroughly duped by the Alt Right media.

Oh, have I? Then what, pray tell, have they actually accomplished, other than violence and destruction? You gave me a list of things they SUPPORT, but nothing that they have actually DONE, other than arson and cop-killing.

Sister, as soon as you invoke conspiracy theories, you are wrong. CIA plant, huh. So I imagine you have evidence in this regard…

Exactly as much evidence as you do that it was “outside agitators” that set all of the Black Lives Matter fires.

If you had an IQ of 100 or so, you would have understood that.

And as you know, Richard Spencer, leader of the alt-right, has spoken out against violence any number of times. Therefore, anyone who uses violence is, by definition, not a member of the alt-right.

Do you see the parallel I am using there?

Generations of people, which includes whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. Why do you hate human beings so much?

I was referring specifically to the anceators of the white people, who were white. You knew this. Why did you pretend you didn’t? Why do you continue to pretend that you have something important to say?

“The average white American man, woman, and child is being screwed by the type of policies advocated by parasites like this twerp. (So is the average black, as Mr. Sailer points out.)”

Most average white Americans, you know, the good ones, haven’t heard of this “tiger child”, nor do they care. They have bigger fish to fry in their lives. As I correctly stated, it is manufactured outrage.

“Not in the least. I find incessant self-promotion unseemly.”

You mean like a pan handler drive?

“Mental masturbation, at which this kid is admittedly most proficient, is extremely tedious. He spends his entire life overcompensating for his perceived (and very real) inadequacies.”

It really bothers you that he is on the front lines trying to make a difference. Listen, if you truly believe that the elites are seeking your demise, then you should get off that couch and do something about it rather than incessantly lament about it.

“First of all, this is a lie, and you know it. But most importantly, it doesn’t matter.”

If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t be calling it a lie.

“Those convenience stores wouldn’t have been set on fire if it hadn’t been for Black Lives Matter and their rioting.”

If it hadn’t been for outside agitators who pretended to embrace BLM.

“So even if I wanted to be a liberal and pretend that the fires were an UNINTENDED consequence, it does not change the fact that they are a consequence.”

The fires were an intended consequence of people who used BLM for cover.

“I understand that Black Lives Matter is not a membership organization, so the movement’s goals are whatever the goals are of the people who support it. And their goal is violence and destruction, which you and this kid support.”

It really peeves you that the goals of BLM, as a chapter-based national organization who have members, represent what a number of white people also desire.

“The organization uses violence and the threat of violence to attempt to bring about political change. This is terrorism, which you and this Muslim kid are in favor of. Even if their goals are good, they are still an organization that uses terrorism. Hence, terrorist.”

No, the organization focuses on peace to bring about political change. Unfortunately, there are hooligans in every crowd. You, of all people, are the poster child.

“But the group causes violence. This kid, being a terrorist sympathizer, explicitly said that he supports THE GROUP ITSELF.”

No, individuals wreaked havoc. The movement for black lives and black-led extremist groups are not one in the same.

“I already have. The group has accomplished nothing good whatsoever. Even if I were to agree with everything on the list they pretend to support, they haven’t actually accomplished any of them. They have only accomplished an increase in violence, arson, and terrorism sympathy among Democratic voters.”

You really have been thoroughly duped by the Alt Right media.

“And anyway. I say that he is a CIA plant, just claiming to be alt-right to make the alt-right look bad. Just like Black Lives Matter does whenever one of them burns down a building. Prove me wrong.”

Sister, as soon as you invoke conspiracy theories, you are wrong. CIA plant, huh. So I imagine you have evidence in this regard…

“No, all I was doing was pointing out that generations of white people worked to make things better for their descendants, which is why they have whatever “privilege” you think they have over blacks. It really has nothing to do with me, as I wasn’t one of those people.”

Generations of people, which includes whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. Why do you hate human beings so much?

In Walter Isaacson’s biography, he discreetly states that they moved from the Mountain View schools due to “ethnic gangs” [i.e. Mexican gangs]: “fights were a daily occurrence; as were shakedowns in bathrooms.” This was at Crittenden Middle School in Mountain View which certainly seems to have had a significant population for a while.

https://books.google.com/books?id=8U2oAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA14&vq=ethnic&pg=PA14#v=onepage&q&f=false

https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/2628006931/school.aspx

Isaacson states that they paid $21000 in presumably around 1968 for their house, equivalent to around $150,000 today.

Additional comments from my own familiarity: This was not actually Los Altos proper, but county land, later annexed to Los Altos. The houses had septic tanks. No sidewalks or sewer connections. They were completely undistinguished, featherweight Baby Boom era tract houses, 1500 square feet, three bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Things were a lot different back then, in so many ways. Their existence was not super wealthy back then.

If Ziad Ahmed is looking for some racism to really fight against, he should make the Hajj to Saudi Arabia and get a taste of how Arab Muslims really treat Asian Muslims.

Tiger Mom/Dad culture tends to be an East Asian thing. Bangladesh doesn’t have this culture.

Having said that…

I have asked before (and will ask again) for someone to pen an essay as to why Asians in this country are left of center on such social issues. In fact, they seem to have taken over the niche of publicly advocating for blacks that Jews used to do (and still do, albeit to a lesser extent). I have said before that Asians don’t always feel integrated into the American fabric. John Derbyshire has once penned a neat essay on how the Chinese can have a victim mentality of their own. Another columnist (was it Razib Khan) has also made the point that Asians view whites in the same lens that whites view blacks.

I’ll repeat some of my past posts if there are any flamers.

I have heard rumors that Muslim extremists were looking to recruit African Americans into their ranks. I think that is what this kid is looking to do. He want to prove that he is a “Muslim holier than thou” by making a show of helping supposedly oppressed blacks. Lots of politically sensitive Muslims like to think of themselves as racially egalitarian even though Muslim culture says otherwise.

The only professor at Stanford worth listening to is Leonard Susskind.

Lol! Muh shekels

PURGE

Dreams do come true, did you hear about the two black Siamese twins? – One got accepted at Stanford the other Harvard…

Priss, I guess you’re just on a roll, & can’t stop to think.

Priss – would you consider travelling the trans-Siberian railway with me, from Moscow to Vladivostok & back, sometime this Summer? It takes about a week each way.

And I think it would take at least that long to figure out what you’re on about!

Hey, with Moldbug & Unamused gone, I’m relying on you for my neo-reactionary jollies.

In other words, why the surprise?

Indeed. These things have been known for quite some time. Most collitch and yooniversity types are insufferable at best.

As a 16 year old, with 2 years of formal schooling ending at the age of 10, Benjamin Franklin wrote this. Note the date:

I reflected in my Mind on the extream Folly of those Parents, who, blind to their Childrens Dulness, and insensible of the Solidity of their Skulls, because they think their Purses can afford it, will needs send them to the Temple of Learning, where, for want of a suitable Genius, they learn little more than how to carry themselves handsomely, and enter a Room genteely, (which might as well be acquir’d at a Dancing-School,) and from whence they return, after Abundance of Trouble and Charge, as great Blockheads as ever, only more proud and self-conceited.

I related my Dream with all its Particulars [to a friend], and he, without much Study, presently interpreted it, assuring me, That it was a lively Representation of HARVARD COLLEGE, Etcetera.

Ziad is the hard working hard gainer. He worked hard to get into Stanford.

Clock Boy is the lazy genius. He just dashed off some junk with little effort and he’ll get into Columbia.

It’s kinda like Hillary vs Obama.

Plenty of East Asian faces in the various crowds and gatherings espousing socially “just” causes.

They must figure they’re owed virtue points for being of the same race as people killed during unpleasant historical episodes. Say what you will about most American blacks – at least they’re directly related by blood to the slaves who were brought here in chains.

I imagine the description of the advertising firm meeting in which this commercial was conceived would be appropriate in a latter-day Screwtape Letters.

Well, maybe this is a “teachable moment” about the actual standards of those 8 Ivy League colleges? In other words, why the surprise?

Nor is he some kind of Marxist anti-capitalist. He started a marketing consultancy as a teenager to help businesses sell more crap to teenagers.

We live in age less beset by collectivism than by elitist ideologies that encourage the most grasping individuals to screw over the poor dumb trusting masses and feel righteous about doing so because those saps had it coming, those racist homophobic haters.

Every society has a government and every society has a ruling minority. The peculiarly psychotic nature of the modern west is that anarchism (liberalism) is its theory of government, and egalitarianism is the legitimating ideology of the ruling class.

The death of “collectivism” (always a stupid term) and the triumph of individualism is just the victory of the American version of communism over other versions. It triumphed because it is the least insane form of communism, which is to say it is the most inconsistent.

Seriously, an awful lot of Social Justice Jihadism is an outlet for anger over not being at the top of the sexual attractiveness pyramid.

Agree. However: nobody is.

That’s the joke. The top of the pyramid is a pointy sharp stony place. Then nothing above it…but a long way down. It’s kinda stylites but with a thicker base.

Still, at best, you mate, spawn, and die. Or just die. Or whatever.

There are a lot of weak, weaker, and weakened souls staggering through this vale of tears, thinking life is supposed to be more than it is and furious that it’s not.

But it’s not even that. They’re furious by nature and never learned to control it, and now they have come into a system where their lack of self-restraint is not only encouraged but monetarized.

Tiger Child Ahmed is the perfect avatar of these people and this moment in history. There’s gold in them thar mountains of resentment.

Me, I’m fond of wood shavings, wood ducks, distilled spirits that lived in wood for a long time, and trees (water that takes the form of wood). Also water, salt and fresh.

I prolly thus shouldn’t even comment.

He asked her why, and she said she wanted to be able to look up into his eyes. Which sounds sweet on the surface, but the conversation led Ahmed to believe that the girl basically wanted to be looked down on. Made smaller. Made the one to be protected, not be herself. In other words, she willingly is looking to be, in some measure, less than her (eventual) boyfriend, said Ahmed.

Anyone surprised that Ahmed(judging by his photo with the 5’5 Hillary Clinton) is on the short side……

Don’t call it deportation.

Call it Further-Immigration.

If immigration is so good, then pro-immigration people in America should immigrate to other nations. Don’t stay put!

Keep immigrating, especially to share your wealth with poor nations.

Africa should put up its own statue of liberty with sign:

“Give me your rich and extravagant,
Your glittering elites yearning to be progressive, the stinking rich of Beverly Hills. Send these, the owners of mansions and yachts to me,
I lift the lid of our tribal pot!”

Happy cooking.

We live in a corporatist world, and how these immigrant kids are acting is the same way that US corporations act.

Why are capitalism, wealth, privilege, and success so closely tied with proggy stuff? Are capitalism, wealth, privilege, and success innately proggy? Perhaps in the sense that both capitalism and proggism are invested in change, transformation, and reinvention? Capitalism seeks new products, new technologies, new everything. Proggism feeds on the conceit of realizing new forms of justice. Both are at war with tradition and roots. In economics, this makes sense since better technology is really better than earlier ones. Surely, a new computer is better than one 5 yrs ago, let alone 10 yrs ago. Technology can demonstrate superiority.

But can same rules be applied to arts, culture, morality, justice, and emotions? To be sure, the more a society becomes productive and plentiful, the more various people can seek their own ‘justice’. In a hungry society, the main priority is providing enough food for the masses. If Michael Jackson had been born into a sharecropper family in 1900, he would have worked in the fields and focused on food. But he made lots of money in a rich nation, and he could indulge in his own fantasies. So, the freedom of fantasy became the new ‘right’, and we are seeing the Michael-Jacksonization of society. Michael was effectively transsexual and transracial and transage. He was a perpetual Peter-Pan-kid.

“to help teenagers recognize and remove cultural stereotypes”

and lets be clear on what that means…that means that we have to expose how white teens are sexists, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, bigots, evil and just need to die……like Oprah said.

Young Ziad, henceforth Tiger Lad, must be disappointed nothing’s really happened sine Trump’s election. No pogroms, no KKK rides, no carpet bombings of Bangladesh. LOL!

Who would have guessed that the future of admission into the ivy leagues is green hair dye and various pieces of metal on their faces instead of learning five languages?

We live in age less beset by collectivism than by elitist ideologies that encourage the most grasping individuals to screw over the poor dumb trusting masses and feel righteous about doing so because those saps had it coming, those racist homophobic haters.

Now, that belongs on a T-shirt!

Again, two monumental posts of manufactured outrage by Mr. Sailor about something that means little or next to nothing than the average white American man or woman.

The average white American man, woman, and child is being screwed by the type of policies advocated by parasites like this twerp. (So is the average black, as Mr. Sailer points out.)

Tell me why a person with a high IQ and the gumption and guile to promote their brand should go to “hell”. Jealous of their success?

Not in the least. I find incessant self-promotion unseemly. Mental masturbation, at which this kid is admittedly most proficient, is extremely tedious. He spends his entire life overcompensating for his perceived (and very real) inadequacies.

All things considered, I’d rather be me, with all of my faults, than an attention-seeking, value-signaling, bullshit-spewing manlet with one foot in the closet.

“Thanks to George Soros, Black Lives Matter also doesn’t have religious ties — which I think is a first for a well-known and functional black group.”

This is an incredibly good point and I’m not aware of anyone else noticing it before. I’ve said before that the platform espoused on their site is such an unoriginal rehash of mid-century Soviet Communism as to be embarrassing; it would be hard for me to imagine the 70s Black Power movement people coming up with this. No recognition of Sub-Saharan African uniqueness, and you’d think they’d be well aware and even chauvenistic about at least some of it, but no.

That picture of Obama with Ziad and other young Muslims shows seven girls and they’re all wearing head scarves. Last I checked, that’s far from universal (yet). If Obama got together with a dozen random Jews, would he select an all-Hasidic cast of characters?

Dear, you are publicly expressing opinions intended to demonstrate your good character and the moral correctness of your position on a particular issue.

No, all I was doing was pointing out that generations of white people worked to make things better for their descendants, which is why they have whatever “privilege” you think they have over blacks. It really has nothing to do with me, as I wasn’t one of those people.

As always, you simply do not know what you are talking about.

I don’t know which whites have privilege. Is it “good” or “bad” whites? I thought you as a white man had a high IQ and were able to offer insight on such matters.

You’re the one who believes in “white privilege” in the first place. If you don’t know who, why are you wasting your time here?

The train is fine, Anon, the train is fine.

Talking to Dems is a good reminder of why some people ended up on trains, you know?

They were set by people on purpose who were part of the crowd, but not aligned to the goals of Black Lives Matters.

First of all, this is a lie, and you know it. But most importantly, it doesn’t matter. Those convenience stores wouldn’t have been set on fire if it hadn’t been for Black Lives Matter and their rioting. So even if I wanted to be a liberal and pretend that the fires were an UNINTENDED consequence, it does not change the fact that they are a consequence.

Do you even understand nuance?

I understand that Black Lives Matter is not a membership organization, so the movement’s goals are whatever the goals are of the people who support it. And their goal is violence and destruction, which you and this kid support.

YOU believe, wrongly, that BLM is a terrorist organization.

The organization uses violence and the threat of violence to attempt to bring about political change. This is terrorism, which you and this Muslim kid are in favor of. Even if their goals are good, they are still an organization that uses terrorism. Hence, terrorist.

“You can defend the group’s intentions, but not the actions of those individuals who break the law through violent means.”

But the group causes violence. This kid, being a terrorist sympathizer, explicitly said that he supports THE GROUP ITSELF.

See above. Now it’s your turn with that T-chart. Something tells me you are not going to do it. Lazy?

I already have. The group has accomplished nothing good whatsoever. Even if I were to agree with everything on the list they pretend to support, they haven’t actually accomplished any of them. They have only accomplished an increase in violence, arson, and terrorism sympathy among Democratic voters.

Since he hates Muslims, it is clear that he is a member of the Alt Right.

The majority of people around the world are Alt-Right then, due to Muslims being such crappy people.

And anyway. I say that he is a CIA plant, just claiming to be alt-right to make the alt-right look bad. Just like Black Lives Matter does whenever one of them burns down a building. Prove me wrong.

“Only someone who doesn’t know what the phrase “virtue signaling” means could call that “virtue signaling”.”

“Those fires they set weren’t accidental, Corvy.”

They were set by people on purpose who were part of the crowd, but not aligned to the goals of Black Lives Matters. Its leaders condemn violence, as they did in the Dallas shooting.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/black-lives-matter-releases-a-statement-on-dallas-shooting/

“No, actually, I can just point to the fact that the people who started them chanted their slogans and were, as you know perfectly well, supporters of Black Lives Matter.”

Of course they support the cause, but not the methods used to advance that cause. It is similar to MLK in the 1960’s who was accused by southern whites of purposely escalating matters. Even MLK’s peaceful demonstrations turned occcasionally violent, as individuals associated with the movement but not strictly aligned to MLK’s philosophy took it upon themselves to address matters in aggressive fashion. Then southern whites yelled “See, those darkies are all the same, they claim to be peaceful but really they desire to bash skulls”. Do you even understand nuance?

“See? This is why you are so disgusting. You KNOW that Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization, and you defend them anyway.

YOU believe, wrongly, that BLM is a terrorist organization. This group calls for:

Ending “broken windows” policing, which aggressively polices minor crimes in an attempt to stop larger ones

Using community oversight for misconduct rather than having police decide what consequences officers face

Making standards for reporting police use of deadly force

Independently investigating and prosecuting police misconduct

Having the racial makeup of police departments reflect the communities they serve
requiring officers to wear body cameras

Providing more training for police officers

Ending for-profit policing practices

Ending the police use of military equipment

Implementing police union contracts that hold officers accountable for misconduct

How are these goals terrorist related? In fact, white libertarians support these measures.

“You would have to link specifically that the purpose of the Alt-Right is to burn down convenience stores and that they purposely engaged in this action to accomplish their goal.”

I’m flattered that you are using my superior logic. You are learning well, Kemosabe. Except you were the one who stated that using your basic statistic, the number of convenience stores set on fire by was zero regarding the net negative impact of groups of Alt Right activist groups. Since he hates Muslims, it is clear that he is a member of the Alt Right. That fire wasn’t set accidental.

“Or don’t, and just go away. You never have had anything to contribute.”

Yeah (this is to Piltdown Man also), it is hard to separate out looks based on style of dress from just facial features. In the past, I noticed the Japanese travelers (the women is who I was noticing) had the slutty-schoolgirl look a lot – they liked the mini-skirts, as we all do. Back a decade ago, the Chinese ones dressed more conservatively, sometimes very plainly, but they had done away with the Chairman Mao rice-bowl haircuts, thank goodness.

It’s different now, mainly just in the fact that many of the Chinese ones are starting to put on some pounds. Dang, that was very un-PC of me – they are starting to put on some kilos (even worse, when you think about the factor of 2.2 ;-}

If the oriental girls were naked they would probably be harder to tell apart based on nationality, and I wish I could say that I had more opportunities to apply this theory.

So you are virtue signaling here. Great to know.

Only someone who doesn’t know what the phrase “virtue signaling” means could call that “virtue signaling”.

“The best Bibimbaps are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Koreans!”

Shouldn’t that be Bulgogi or Galbi, seeing as it is a grill?

South Korea is very unique in Asia, though, as are Hong Kong and Singapore

South Korea is very unique in that Protestantism reigns supreme there. Not only is it the plurality religion, the economic and political elites in that country are heavily evangelical Protestant (usually Presbyterian denomination). That goes a long way to explain the high rates of Korean assimilation and intermarriage with whites in the U.S. as well as their relatively conservative socio-political orientation.

Indeed, if you looked at the Manhattan Institute assimilation indices I am fond of citing, you see the three Asian origin countries with high assimilation indices – South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines – all have two things in common: Christianity and long-term American military presence.

China and India lack both, and immigrants from the two indeed display lower rates of assimilation, closer to those from Latin America (except Cuba).

You would have to link specifically that the purpose of BLM is to burn down convenience stores and that they purposely engaged in this action to accomplish their goal.

No, actually, I can just point to the fact that the people who started them chanted their slogans and were, as you know perfectly well, supporters of Black Lives Matter.

I can then point out that Black Lives Matter knows perfectly well that their followers burn down convenience stores when they have their little protests, but don’t stop having their little protests or do anything differently.

See? This is why you are so disgusting. You KNOW that Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization, and you defend them anyway. No person who defends the group can ever be an honest or decent person, and it bothers those of us who ARE decent and honest that people like you are rewarded by society.

You have not GIVEN me any specific examples on how truly it is a net positive impact. Nobody ever has, because the only thing it has accomplished is allowing more black people in cities like St Louis to kill one another.

Maybe you think this is a positive. I don’t know. Maybe it is. If so, the name “Black Lives Matter” is a bit off, don’t you think?

Not quite using your “metric”.

And at any rate. One is still a lot less than the number Black Lives Matter has burned.

Asians can be as productive as they want in Asia.

Do you feel the same way about European immigrants? Do you want them to be as productive as they want in Europe, and not come to the U.S.?

All (non-white) immigration to white countries should be halted.

What about immigration to countries that are multi-racial?

Mind you, I am an immigration restrictionist, because immigration restrictionism, especially at this point in America, 1) helps the native workers, particularly downscale ones and 2) increases assimilation of the existing foreign-born population in the country, and 3) preserves what remains of the Anglo-American cultural and civic traditions.

But I am curious whether your views on immigration are based on citizenism or white nationalism.

I suspect this young man’s problem has been that too few people in his matrix were irritable and dismissive with him.

I haven’t read it myself, but I’m guessing for her the book was personally gratifiying for both status-signaling and humble-bragging

Thanks for proving my point about people who never read the book making assertions about it.

In retrospect, I made soooo many mistakes as a mother. If they don’t both matriculate at H/Y/P the blame is on me! Not that these things really matter. Hahahahaha!

You only got the first sentence right.

Your comments lead me to surmise that you are not so interested in truth (or reality), but is more into making assertions and posturing about white nationalism, but per (small) chance you are curious what the book is actually about, I’ll summarize very briefly.

The book begins with her younger, cockier self who thought that Chinese tiger parenting was SO superior to other ways of raising children. She describes her upbringing and family history. Then she writes about how the tiger parenting worked pretty well on her first daughter, who was (is) a very dutiful type (that daughter, by the way, is the one who is serving as a JAG officer in the Navy).

But her second daughter turned out to be a tougher nut to crack. That one screamed, fought, and was wilful and stubborn. At one point – during a trip to Russia as a family – Amy Chua basically cracked and – literally – ran (sprinted) away from her family at a restaurant after a meltdown with her second child. She basically admits defeat and lets her second daughter have her way, humbling her as a parent. Even her dutiful first daughter has a blowup at one point – correctly pointing out that she has done EVERYTHING her mother has asked compliantly and dutifully and yet her mother was on her case. “Just let it go – for once!”

Her parenting methods may have been harsher than what most American parents would utilize (though I am not sure about that entirely, given that I know a lot of white tiger parents), but her experiences, both positive and negative, and especially humbling and defeat by “a difficult child” is something to which most parents, especially high IQ ones, can relate. And throughout the book, she makes numerous self-deprecating jokes at her own expense that are quite funny (it’s almost as if she’s playing a tiger mom character, makes that character seem as over-the-top as possible, and naturally finds ways to knock that character). They are not not “humble-brags” at all. Much of her moments of exasperation and grudging admission of defeat is quite touching to me as a fellow parent.

I should also note that, whatever her book persona, her students (including at least one commenter here) have reported of her as being a nice person and a genuinely caring professor.

“Because Stanford and the Ivies rely on “out of state tuition.” LOL”

If these schools are able to get more money in tuition overall from outside of their state, those funds are used in part to cover scholarships for unworthy vibrants, I mean low-income minorities, and other programs for these undesirable students, I mean aspiring learners.

http://blog.collegetuitioncompare.com/2015/05/ivy-league-2015-2016-estimated-tuition.html

Certainly state public schools are getting more bang for their buck with students who come from other than their localities.

Although, I did discover that Stanford has the same tuition for in-state and out of state applicants.

“Perhaps the words “self” and “personal” should provide a clue here?”

Ambitious whites ought to copy Ahmed’s playbook. Say you set up a soup kitchen and charity for the homeless and also worked for a animal rescue shelter, etc.

Oh they do that and more. For years the prep school arms race has been intensifying, with kids flying off to do BS “community service” projects in a carefully curated community 5,000 miles away (you want it to be picturesque and impoverished but not actually dangerous) or “founding” their own BS nonprofit that quietly folds the week after acceptance letters arrive.

This is not unusual and at top schools it is formalized. For instance Phillips Andover kids jetting off to India or St. Paul’s kids jetting off to Haiti. Of course when you consider

[1] the money it takes simply to register a non-profit or fly to a 3rd world hell-hole (plus the overhead of supervision and safety)
and
[2] the uselessness of some soft prince/princess toting a shovel for a week to build a third world schoolhouse in a village full of underemployed young local men

it’s clear that if impact were the goal they’d create greater social good simply by donating this money to an established non-profit. But that don’t polish yer Stanford app.
