Asian Privilege

[brothern]

I'm talking about the lily white, guilt laden, race baiting grievance industry, whiners. Social Justice warriors who need government help to earn a living because they have minimum wage skills. Socialists who want others to pay for their iPhones and basket weaving classes.

Or people who think it's bad that there's a wealth, employment, health and educational-achievement gap between different ethnic groups?

It is what it is. People raise their kids differently. Obviously, if you raise your kid to shun education, refuse to speak proper English, break the law, do drugs, join gangs, fly off the handle every time things don't quite go their way and blame others for all their inadequacies, you'll end up with some underachieving, dysfunctional adults. It's not rocket science.

I suspect the average of all groups (i.e., the 'total U.S. population').

I was being facetious, but thanks anyway.

Grievance industry consumer, I presume.

No, but these people are.

Race baiting grievance industry whiners...i.e. Bernie Sanders voters.

Are you just going to regurgitate the same despicable anti-liberal prejudice like a broken record or are you able to actually respond ?

Why bother? All Liberals ever do is regurgitate the same old bull**** anyway: racism, slavery, Jim Crow...

My high school's composition was 70% Asian American.

Many of their parents were first generation immigrants. Many were hard working and highly skilled, engineers and programmers, who used their skills to acquire the wealth needed to immigrate. They also often imparted their work habits to their children.

You are not getting a random sample of African Americans and Asian Americans by looking at the entire population of the United States. This isn't a good "study" or "analysis."

The bold is funny. Do you even realize what you wrote?


One one thing you are right. In general, Asian-Americans do a hell of a lot better raising their kids for success than do African Americans, 70% of whom cannot even be bothered to try living in a two parent household. No real surprise there.

As you point out, Asian Americans seem to do better than white Americans.

Yes, i realized what i wrote. The entire US populations of those of Asian and those of African descent are not indicative of random samples of the actual ethnicities themselves.

Well Asia and Africa are both rather big. :lol:

But, if you look at IQ on each continent, especially sub-Saharan versus Pacific Rim Asian, you see the numbers correlate well with the chart in the OP.

 

[Mason66]

This is such a stupid claim.

Do you really not see a difference between the initial conditions of African American emancipated slaves and upper middle class Asian American immigrants ...?

By that thinking the Jewish immigrants after the war shuold have failed miserably, but didn't.

Can you explain this?

And you think IQ isn't related to educational background ?

No, it's not just about money, it's also about education and opportunity.

 

[calamity]

Not my department. For all I know, people in sub-Sahara may recognize patterns in bird calls that the rest of us would not in a million years begin to understand. What I do know is that modern IQ measurements show a pronounced difference based on race, and the income stratum in the US correlates with those results to a Tee.

 

[PoS]

Here's another interesting income chart.

Not really surprising, IMO.

I need to go find me a rabbi, quick!

 

[calamity]

No, it's not just about money, it's also about education and opportunity.

There has never been and probably never will be, on this planet, a group as persecuted as the Jews. But, look at how successful they are as a group--$5000 per year better even than Asians.

I always said that I wish I was raised like a Jew. My parents hated that.

How smart we are depends a great deal on our environment, not so much on our genetics.

You keep ignoring education.

Liberal bull****. Funny how we all know that genes matter when buying a dog. Their temperament and ability to learn is 100% dependent on their bitch and stud. But, for some reason, when it comes to people, we are supposed to ignore genes and assume that every kid can become Einstein as long as we raise them correctly.

You keep ignoring education.

Ability to learn and impulse control are probably more important than just sticking someone in a classroom and throwing $10,000 a year at them in hopes that they become a rocket scientist instead of an ax murderer.

 

[Mason66]

OK so you think blacks have no access to education or opportunity, or is it that they don't want the opportunities to get educated?

What does money have to do with my question?

The Jews that came to the US after the war had 0 in their pockets. They were not handed anything free, they had to work for everything they had often against very strong prejudiced against them.

So please tell me how the blacks have had it any worse.

Axes are cheaper to buy than laboratory equipment so it might be a financial decision weather to become one or the other. :mrgreen:

An amusing claim- perhaps you should familiarize yourself with dog psychology. Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer, claims that dogs do not have nearly as much personality as we imagine that they do. He says that their behaviors are, essentially, conditioned reflexes and that you can change any dogs behavior.

Intelligence is heavily under our own control.

Ref : Mindset: How You Can Fulfil Your Potential by Carol Dweck

Or you can ignore psychology and blather on about intelligence being determined by race.

I didn't say that. You seem to have a hard time understanding how education works.

Do you think the average African American has had the same educational level as the average Asian American ? Lol...

I don't care how much money Jewish American immigrants had. The fact is that if they knew how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic, they were already given a huge head start over slaves.

There is a radio station here in socal. In the morning there is a guy named bill Handel. I heard him say one day that he has a friend that is a college professor. The professor told bill that he tells his non Asian students to drop the class on the first day if it looks like 50% or more of the class is Asian. This is because a non Asian doesn't have a chance in hell of passing on the curve.

I detest grading on a curve, and I have little respect for instructors who do so. There should be standards to pass, and if you meet them you pass, and if you don't, you don't.

Racism doesn't exist unless it's negative against black people. Didn't you get the memo?

Unfortunately, seem to be the truth.

 

[radcen]

The graph is simply reinfocing white acceptance and benevolent racism many white Americans feel towards that entire ethnic group. If you actually go to east Asia, you'll see there are poor farmers, laborers, people involved in petty street crime, people involved in organized crime, etc. Asians are not running to America in the form of refugees, and it's hard to immigrate to America. Americans let the best in, hence, you have highly educated Asians. You also have very highly educated and wealthy Arabs and west Asians practicing medicine, science, and technology. There is a high percentage of doctors from the middle east, but because there is also a influx of poor refugees the Syrians, Indians, etc. aren't seen as beneficial to America.

I'm going to presume you are unfamiliar with Southeast Asian "Boat People", primarily Vietnamese, from the 1970s and 1980s. They weren't "the best". They were refugees and they were poor and destitute. Many of them did things like come here at 12 years old, not speaking a word of English, and still graduating Valedictorian of their high school class, on time, and speaking perfect English. And it wasn't an odd occurrence, it was common. Sorry, but your perception is incorrect.

 

[radcen]

Asians, at least from several particular countries, as a general rule place higher value on success and education than many other cultures do. You can deny that if you want, and blame someone else to rationalize the other culture's failings, but if anything is a root reason, this is it.
