John Derbyshire's: VDare's Contract Man

I wrote about John Derbyshire's article on Tedros Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization's Director-General, here, and some background on Derbyshire here, and his half-Chinese children, here.

Why is VDare using Derbyshire, a white British man (naturalized American), married to a woman he met in China, as their white representative to "save" America from immigrants and multiculturalism?

I believe VDare's underlying principle is IQ. People with high intelligence, on par with the intelligence of whites, make better Americans than all the others - Hispanics, Arabs, Africans,etc.

Therefore Derbyhsire's Chinese wife is of no concern, since she comes from a country which purports to have high IQ population groups.

Of course, the high Asian IQ theory has its problems, which I've discussed here.

And a high IQ is not a guarantor that anyone, or any nation, will be successful. There are other factors, what I would call the Aesthetic IQ, which determines how one views beauty, the Spiritual IQ, how one lives in accordance with higher principles, and finally the God IQ, how nations and their people figure the Biblical God in the formation of their civilizations.

I presume that Derbyshire has a high "traditional" IQ, which he uses exclusively, and which led him to discard his God IQ, publicly proclaiming his atheism. I also think he is deficient in the Aesthetic IQ, but I won't go into that.

Derbyshire's two children, a half-Chinese son and a half-Chinese daughter, appear in many of his posts, where he has documented their birth to early twenties life in his family album posts. But there is no report on their current situations. Both Danny and Nellie Derbyshire are now nearing their 30s. What are they doing?

Perhaps nothing so impressive as to live up to the subtle IQ hype Derbyshire proudly presented in their earlier years.

My end-2012 puzzle was a splendid 2,000-piecer of van Gogh's The Starry Night

I summon Danny and intone the ritual words:
"Help me out here, please, son. I've almost finished; but there's
this one pesky last piece left, and I can't figure out where it goes."

I then hand the piece to Danny and he completes the puzzle.

Derbyshire writes about his high IQ son here:

Danny took the AFQT (basically an IQ test: the cutoff for the Army is IQ 92) and the ASVAB
(a vocational test to see which military specialty suits you).
A smart kid - it’s genetic - Danny aced both tests and is in A-1 physical condition,
so they basically told him he could pick his own specialty.
He picked Airborne Rangers, the most dangerous specialty on the list.
They jump out of planes to do Navy-SEAL-type super-hazardous missions.

Where do Derbyshire's Expertise Lie?

From
Ici Radio Canada: Des habitants de Markham ont manifesté contre l'immigration plus tôt cet été August 2018

-------------------------------

I wonder why VDare allows John Derbyshire to write his articles on blacks? I would think his multi-culti expertise would lie more with the Chinese, to one of whom Mr. Derbyshire is married.

Derbyshire has a fascinatingly public "personal" page, where he posts photographs of his English "coal mine" family along with his wife's "Chinese peasants," and his daughter's Hispano/Arab boyfriend called "Mike." So, Derb's progeny continue with his multi-culti example, after all.

-------------------------------

I'm not the only one to notice this BF. Here's a photo from the Hapa & Eurasian Community: Asian Pacific Halfies, who comment:

noblemagistrate
...maybe his buddy Jared Taylor will excuse him for letting his daughter date a Jewish guy.

By the way, why do his kids look 1000% Asian? They don't look mixed at all. I know that WMAF typically look more Asian than white but they look more Asian than their mother, lol.

Here is one fascinating article where Derbyshire discusses Chinese immigrants in Markham, Ontario, Canada(!).

Derbyshire's point in this article is how LEGAL Chinese immigrants organized protests on ILLEGAL refugees being shipped into Markham:

More encouraging is news from Markham, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto with a big concentration of Chinese immigrants.

This started when Toronto found they had more illegal aliens than they could find accommodation for. Numbers coming across the border from the U.S.A. have been swelling the past couple of years, and of course they are all claiming to be refugees from something or other.

[...]

The rumor started that Scarpitti had agreed with the mayor of Toronto to take and house five thousand of these illegals.

Once that got around, a demonstration was organized. To judge from videos and press accounts, the demonstrators were all Chinese. There were big signs on display in English, Chinese, and Chinglish. Samples:

MARKHAM SAY NO TO ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSERS

SAY "NO" TO MAYOR FRANK!

ILLEGAL FREE RIDER NOT INVITED

PROTECT OUR CITY, PROTECT OUR HOME!

[...]

It was a good spirited gathering, though. There was a counter-protest on behalf of the illegals, carrying signs of their own: REFUGEES WELCOME, NOBODY IS ILLEGAL, and so on. A lot of them were Chinese, too, but there were also round-eyes in evidence on that side.

Inevitably there were fisticuffs, but no-one was seriously hurt. I would like to have seen some Chinese martial arts on display, but the most fearsome participant was a young Dragon Lady type with an ear-splitting voice out of Chinese opera, who chased some of the counter-protestors right off the field.

Chinese immigrants, and their several-generations-down inheritors STILL refer to their Chinese, from China, background, and intrinsically search for that reference, and assurance.

Even, Derb's daughter, rather than go for the Whites of her father's background, chose instead an undecipherable (at least in presentation) of a brown man as her mate. What good is having a white father if even he cannot convince you of the goodness of his race?

Derbyshire forfeited that wisdom, and authority, when he traveled across the oceans and married a Chinese woman. His British adventurous fore-fathers never did that, at least not officially, and publicly. The reason colonization worked is because they kept the natives, the inhabitants, of those countries in their countries. They didn't make a bargain through "love and marriage" and opened up the Pandora's box of multiculturalism through multi-racial offspring. Derbyshire is now having to maneuver through that conundrum, with a boyfriend (future son-in-law?) his daughter brought home, with a foreboding face, who might not really like him.

Then what?

The Disappearance of Julie Chen

There is a lot to write about Julie Chen, who supported her CBS head honcho husband's, Les Moonves', adulterous life to maintain her media status in CBS. She hosted, or fascistically ruled, her crew and co-hosts at the CBS daytime gabfest talk show The Talk (and WHO thought up that mildly pornographic name??) through fear of repercussions from her powerful husband for anyone who digressed from her views (and wishes, and desires). Moonves had put Chen, his wife, it worth repeating, at the helm of The Talk. Two women were actually fired in the early days of The Talk because they grumbled about these nepotistic arrangements.

Chen left, or quit, when Moonves' historic indiscretions began to surface, even after their marriage, leaving her pathetic feminists minions at odds on how to deal with her departure. Moonves, their big boss CBS, became the ire of the #MeToo movement, and yet here was his wife (who married him after an affair when he ditched his first wife) embroiled in the very lifestyle they decried.

Hypocrites (on all parties) doesn't even begin to cover it.

Chen still runs that creepy Big Brother, another Moonves enterprise, where she earned her second-rate fame before The Talk, where psychopathic and sociopathic contestants live in the same house, with no exit, performing various "challenges" until there is a last man standing to carry off the 1 million dollar cash prize.

Sartre would have cringed at this appropriation. "Huis Clos! C'est pour l'éternité!!!" he would have wailed in his shocked French manner about his literary living arrangement. Not some exit with a cash prize.

Chen is pretty much how Asian women behave. They prefer to be in the background rather than upfront and target-prone, as Chen eventually became on The Talk. What exactly would they (she) stand for, and how would they defend their "positions" when pressed?

Clearly Chen was no champion for the American Woman. She was perfectly happy as the wife of serial adulterer Moonves (although she pretended to be some free woman) cashing in on all the spoils.

But the joke's on us (and all those minions). She was the ultimate "Big Brother" waiting out for the big cash prize. "But where's our Big Sister!!??" would wail her co-hostesses. She's run off with the money.

"Meritocracy, Diversity: Pick One"

Photo from the Washington Post article:
The White House releases a photo of its interns,
and the Internet asks: Why so few people of color?
(See larger photo here)

The Vdare blog has this fascinating post up: Meritocracy And Diversitocracy Incompatible.

Derbyshire, the author of the article via his radio show, expands on an article: Analysis: The White House releases a photo of its interns, and the Internet asks: Why so few people of color? by Eugene Scott, published on the Washington Post on March 31, 2018.

Besides the usual "blacks are less intelligent than whites" meme that Vdare endlessly announces, what I found so very interesting was that Derbyshire, who is married to an Asian woman and with two Happa children, should have missed this one: The statistically insignificant presence of Asians in the photo of the White House interns on the Whashington Post article. That is, statistically, zero. In actuality, I counted:
- One South Asian woman (no men)
- Two East Asian men (no women)

Asians have continuously been touted as smarter than whites (they get the highest scores in various standardized tests) the most diligent, and the most successful academically. But something strange happens when they hit the "real world."

I've written about it here regarding music and general academics, and here on the (in)famous "Tiger Mom" who was a subject of my two or three posts, and who has a new book out championing "tribal" connections - in America no less!

Amy Chua's (the Tiger Mom's) two daughters show similar traits. Despite a rigorous childhood of homework and volin practice neither has turned out to be the genius she (we) expected.

Well Chua's latest book is a little more complicated than that, but no less self-serving than her memoir and her American life. But more on that later.

Would you Make this Recipe? And Other Asian Stories

Barbecued Steak with Blackberry Bourbon Sauce

Blackberry Bourbon Sauce (for barbecued steak):
1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
½ small red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
¼ cup bourbon
3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup water
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries

Jalapeno peppers with bourbon with ketchup to add to the delicate taste of blackberries?

Theresa Visintin (formerly Wong) was on the Marilyn Dennis Show to prepare her steak with blackberry bourbon sauce, and I was curious. It is always nice to have a new take on a steak sauce.

But blueberries with jalapenos and ketchup?

I looked her up and she was booted off Master Chef twice!

The second time, her

...dessert was too sweet because she used too many cherries in her jam.

Her recipe is partly the "combining of strange ingredients" that has become the hallmark of Master Chef, which is why I no longer watch it.

But it is also about her background. Anyone who knows blackberries and has regularly eaten them realizes that the ketchup and the jalapenos wouldn't cut it. They would drown the taste of the berries. Maybe the bourbon or a light brandy, and even some bay leaves to add some herbal tang, but not ketchup! You would think that by the time she had made it to Marilyn Wong-Visitin would have figured all that out.

But her recipe is her business. What stuck out was the way she presented the experiences at meals with her Chinese family, who ran a restaurant while she was growing up. Running a restaurant is never easy on a family, but there is always a day in the week, a down time, usually a Sunday when people gather together and have a good meal, cooked by the restaurateur as a treat for the family.

This was not her experience. In fact, it sounds like she never had a pleasant meal with her parents at their home.

She met her husband in Sydney (Australia), who has an Italian background. And she realized what family meals meant when he invited her to his home. People enjoying each others' company as as much as the meal before them.

Her publicly undermining her parents was unpleasant to hear.

But she let us into Asian inter-family relations about which another public figure, the famous Amy Chua, has also disclosed. Chua was aggressively harsh on her daughters to prepare them for music and academic careers, and in the end they both bailed out.

Visitin is on yet another cooking show called on cable TV's Gusto where she hosts a program with two others (whom I've never heard of) called A Is For Apple, which is

a fun, fresh take on a food challenge show genre. In each episode, one of our three hip, young chefs randomly picks a letter of the alphabet and goes shopping for two very different ingredients that start with that letter. Then they come up with one crazy (but delicious) mash-up dish that features both ingredients. Kale and kumquats, anyone? Is For Apple is a fun, fresh take on a food challenge show genre. In each episode, one of our three hip, young chefs randomly picks a letter of the alphabet and goes shopping for two very different ingredients that start with that letter. Then they come up with one crazy (but delicious) mash-up dish that features both ingredients. Kale and kumquats, anyone?

Also, it is a threesome affair, the kind of group creativity which Martha Stewart (and Jamie Oliver) would never accept.

Taste is no longer the criteria, but rather "one crazy (but delicious) mash-up dish."

---------------------------------------------------------

Chua's daughters were on the road toward being a musician and a scholar. Both veered away.

Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld manages a college tutoring business, which must be painfully ironic to everyone around her (including mother Chua) that it was that very institution Sophia rebelled against (although my theory is that she was never really quite that good). And like all things Asian, her loyalties go across the oceans and her website has a special section in Chinese for those overseas students.

She once performed at Carnegie Hall.

Lulu Chua-Rubenfeld stopped tennis with the original intention of going "professional"(after she dramatically stopped the violin lessons) and worked at a tutoring job at the New Haven Youth Tennis And Education - not in tennis but for "underprivileged elementary school students in math, reading, and writing." She is in an Art History undergrad at Harvard, I suppose with the intention of going into Law.

I wrote about Chua here, here and here.

Jed Rubenfeld, or Mr. Chua, took up soft porn/soft thriller authorship for a while but that doesn't seem to be on anymore.

Chua and Rubenfeld co-authored a book in 2014: The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America which The Atlantic described it as: "The holes in the Tiger Mom's theory that superiority, insecurity, and impulse control breed success."

He seems to be back at Yale Law, as does Mme. Chua.

Asians in the West

I was curious about the statistics provided by Bill O'Reilly last night on educational and employment achievements he provided on his show.

This is what he told us:
Unemployment Rate:
Asians: 4.5%
Whites: 5.3%
Blacks: 11.4%

Mean Household Income:
Asians: $69,000
Whites: $57,000
Blacks: $33,000

High School Graduation Rate:
Asians: 88%
Whites: 86%
Blacks: 69%

Children in One-Parent Households:
Asians: 13%
Whites: 21%
Blacks: $55

So, essentially, Asians come from families that are intact, reach for higher levels of education, which all translates to a better life outcome (by better, we can mean monetarily better, according to these statistics).

I should add here that most of my analysis of Asians is of East Asians - Koreans and Chinese. I don't include Indians in my analyses unless I say so.

I wondered, therefore, where exactly is it that these Asian Americans are employed that their average earning is 1.2 times higher than that of whites?

From other statistics I could find, for example here: 50.1% of tech jobs are taken by Asians, compared to 40.7% by whites and 2.3% by blacks.

The definition for "tech jobs" by the survey I cite above is (which got its information from the US Census Bureau):
Computer programmer
Support Specialists
Systems Analysts
Database Administrators
Software Developers

Now, my question is: What percentage of these occupations actually use the creativity of the employer? Re-inventing a slightly improved version of the same old computer has been the bread and butter of the computer industry. It introduces "new" function, and forces the consumer to buy a brand new computer which uses this "new" function. Often, these functions are unnecessary, have all kinds of "bugs" to sort through, and don't give anything substantially better than the previous "old" model.

So, it seems to me that the computer industry of programmers, specialists, analysts, and "developers" is sitting on a multi-million industry which has become a sure cash generator.

No wonder the high salaries!

There is also a strange thing happening. When I google 'Asian American Employment" I find results like "Work-Place Discrimination Against Asian Americans" with this kind of complaint:

It's always challenging to find a job, earn some money, a living. But what happens if you're a minority trying to find a job, even if you're born here in America, with a college degree? For minorities in the workplace environment, they tend to end up getting discriminated, whether it's directly or indirectly. It can come in the form of harassment or lower wages than the "superior" Whites.

And this kind comment (this one from the article I cite on the employment statistics):

Meredith Leu grew up studying STEM courses surrounded by other Asian-American students and graduated with honors from Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.

Now, as a 19-year-old junior at SJSU [San Jose State University, in California] studying computer science, Leu said many non-Asians don't appreciate "the Asian culture, where there is a deep work ethic that America hasn't really bought into yet." (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)

Leu continues:

"Do I worry about a backlash?" It's not so much a backlash against Asians, but ... there needs to be a balance. I'm just trying to find it."

Where does this deep-seated sense of discrimination come from? She is in a field where she will earn at least in the high thirties, she will live in one of the most affluent regions in the US, and she will hold a prestigious job, probably for the rest of her life.

I cannot help but conclude that Asians are dissatisfied with their lives in America. Perhaps they feel that they work as "high-tech" laborers, where creativity and invention doesn't come into the job, but rather a perennial fine-tuning of existing products to make sales and earn profits. The excitement and intellectual challenges of inventions are up to those who can really handle them. And this more often than not is whites.

Perhaps it is a realization of their level in this society that causes them to behave as victims. They were given a large role to fill, with good will and generosity, by white Americans. They haven't quite managed to live up to those expectations. Now, they can either accommodate their lives to their realities, or they can whine, and play the dangerous race card. It seems that they have chosen the latter.

I should add that although Asians get lumped in one category, the Indian Asians and Chinese/Korean Asians are really very different kinds of people. Indians are usually upfront about their "Indianness," but Koreans and Chinese are very ambiguous. For example, Indians will rarely marry out of their own race, but Asians seem to have no problem intermarrying. From what I can deduce, it is the material gains that seem to direct their choices. These days, I am seeing a lot more Asians with blacks, Indians and whites. The prestige of whites seems to have gone down somewhat, and these out-spoken ethnic groups, with potential for all kinds of government enrichment programs, seem like a good bet. Also, how much can Asians beat down whites in their families? If they hook their futures to these minority groups, they are sure to find life-long co-whiners, and co-conspirators.

One additional thought. For all their supposed presence in society, through the various statistics numbers, Asians are hidden when it comes to prominent positions (I don't mean prestigious positions, but places where they're not hidden from view - behind office doors, for example). I don't see them in doctor's offices, in cashier stands in Walmart, as security guards in malls, and even as weather girls on local television stations. Where are they? I do see large numbers walking through downtown Toronto, and in the Mississauga malls, but I don't see them much carrying shopping goods. They don't seem as affluent as or as ubiquitous as these studies suggest.

Nor indeed as "assimilated." I've been noticing for a couple of years now, a distinct "Asian" accent, of those who were clearly born here. This indicates to me, as their socializing patterns seem to show, that they do congregate with each other, and even those "intermarrying" ones pull their spouses and offspring into their Asian sphere.

Reclaiming our Civilization

Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch, about whom I've written here

There are a couple of fascinating reports by an anonymous blogger who calls himself The Educational Realist, who is reporting on "The Asian IQ." I write this in quotation marks, because I myself have posted on the much touted Asian IQ superiority, but have found many loopholes in the measurement to conclude that Asian "high" IQs don't tell us much about Asian intelligence.

In fact, regarding many things about Asians, whites in the US and Canada are having a wide-eyed love affair with Asians (literally and figuratively). But I'm beginning to find out that this indiscriminate wide-eyedness is slowly beginning to squint a little, to have a better view of what' really going on.

Here are the two articles:

College Admissions, Race, and Unintended Consequences

and

Asian Immigrants and What No One Mentions Aloud

Excerpts from the first article:

- In November of 1996, the UC system was told by the people of California that it was not allowed to consider race in admissions anymore.

- Asians, particularly recent immigrant Asians, kill whites on grades. The test score advantage is getting (suspiciously) worse, but the grade advantage is huge.

- So in 1995, 14% of Asians, 5.8% of whites, and .6% of blacks scored over 700 in math, which means that the percentile for 700 was 86%, 94%, and 99%. In 2010 (confirm here), those percentiles were 77%, 94%, and 1%.

Only Asians got a lot smarter? Weird. Not impossible. A lot more Chinese and Koreans are taking the test. Not my pick as an explanation, though.

- [E]ither Asian Americans have gotten phenomenally better, the Chinese/Korean nationals are also getting high Verbal SAT scores, or….what? What explains this jump?

- The reason for this is that Asian students seem to be very good at figuring out the technical requirements of UC [University of California] eligibility.

Excerpts from the second article:

- [F]irst and second generation Chinese, Korean, and Indian Americans, as well as nationals from these countries, often fail to embody the sterling academic credentials they include with their applications, and do not live up to the expectations these universities have for top tier students.

- Less delicately put: They cheat.

- Scratch the surface of any cheating story and odds are well above average the school or the class in question is disproportionately Asian.

- Chaos cheating [collaborative cheating]...the testers rush into the room as chaotically as possible, pull chairs close together, sit next to a buddy, whine like crazy when the proctor tries to impose seating order. The proctor sighs, exhorts them not to cheat, and pretty much turns over control of the class to the students. At that point, the kids can quietly discuss answers, text a buddy for help, and basically “collaborate” in any way needed.

- Collaborative cheating also includes splitting up homework assignments and texting answers on in-school tests and quizzes.

- Another cheating scandal that involved both chaos cheating and texting occurred in Orange County, in which students were “allowed to talk, consult study aids, send text messages to friends and leave the room in groups during the exam” [I think by "allowed, the writer doesn't mean it was an official policy of the school, but that no-one stopped the students from those behaviors].

- Prior Knowledge...students are aware of the specific content of the test before taking it. ...Students take advantage of prior knowledge in school by breaking in or in some other way obtaining the tests ahead of time...Notice that none of the schools mention the dominant race of the students involved, but the hints are there and all but one of the example schools are over 40% Asian.

- Then there’s the national high stakes prior knowledge cheating scandals, in which the parties get the actual test information, sometimes from the Korean hagwons who pay testers to take pictures of the test, sometimes from principal whose brother works at a SAT academy that clearly has a large Asian clientele. (Wait–Asian schools in Plano, Texas? No way. Way: 32% Asian. Yeah, surprised me, too.)

- [M]any of the parents, who are recent immigrants, are ruthlessly and endlessly demanding...I know teachers who have quit Asian schools because of the 100 or more emails they get daily, demanding that grades be changed reconsidered.

- The universities look at the resumes of all Asian kids—recent immigrants, long-established natives, nationals—and know that many of them are fraudulent. They know that many of the kids they accept will not be able to function on their campus, whereas others will be able to get great grades so long as they cheat. They know that many of the students don’t have the inquisitive mind, genuine interest in intellectual pursuits that universities like to see in students (or pretend they do). But the universities want the great, if often fraudulent, stats to puff up their numbers for the rankings systems...

- [T]he cheating I describe perpetuates two frauds. The first, of course, benefits the cheaters and their schools at both high school and university level. But the second perpetuates a much larger misconception: People really believe that our top high school students are taking ten-twelve AP courses during their high school year, maintaining 4.5 GPAs, and have the underlying knowledge one would expect from such study. But this almost certainly isn’t true. And once you understand the reality, it’s hard not to wonder about all the “weeding out courses” in organic chemistry and other brutal STEM college courses, the ones that Americans are abandoning in large numbers. The willingness to accept the cheating, to slap it on the wrist if that, is leading to lies that convince a lot of American kids that they aren’t smart enough for tough courses because they don’t cheat and aren’t aware that others are.

--------------------------

I've written about this on several posts, but I left the threads alone because I had more positive things to do than investigate Asians' inferiorities. I have a book project, and a long-term movement, which I've called Reclaiming Beauty: Winning Back Our Civilization

But, I will make a brief commentary on these articles.

1. Every single Asian with whom I have been close friends (or close colleagues) has surprised me with his (actually, it is one male and three female) inferior abilities. Now, this doesn't mean that they were stupid or intellectually incompetent, but that the actual results of their performance wasn't up to par with their initial input. Their abilities are also deceptive, since initially, they start out with high abilities, but this starts to wane with time, and with the complexities of the study or the project.

And in subtle ways, they start to find an easy way out, which is a form of cheating.

For example:

I studied on a PhD level in a program called Nutritional Sciences at the University of Connecticut, performing a clinical sciences project. My project was to analyze vitamin B12 levels in blood to test for early B12 deficiency, and eventually to develop a sensitive test for descerning micro-levels of B12 depletion in the body (not full-blown deficiency). One of the objectives of this project was to establish an early detection method for vitamin B12 depletion in susceptible patients. Another was to test and eventually modify a quick vitamin B12 detection kit, again for clinical purposes.

I was good friends with a Korean student at the time. I had serious reservations about my research, and in fact left my program for six months. My friend, in the mean time, was advising me to just "get it done," like her. She ended up doing a data analysis dissertation, which involved doing correlative analyses of Mexican pre-school children's dietary status. Much of her finding was inconclusive, as in no significant correlations. In order to finish the dissertation, and have it published in a scholarly journal, she tweaked and rearranged her data. She received high praise for her "innovative" data analysis. By her own admission, when she discussed her work with me, she said that the correlations were hard to find. The professors were "in" on her methods, approved them and allowed her to pass. At that time, I was too polite, and too much of a friend, to call her out on it and to tell her that her work was basically a form of cheating. She had already abandoned two "international nutrition" (a euphemism for Third World malnutrition) post-graduate programs, in Tufts and in Columbia. Her father was paying all her way through school, and she had to return with some completed degree. She was also expected to teach at university level (with jobs lined up), and that required a graduate degree.

2. Asians in the public sphere, despite an initial spurt, produce inferior thoughts, designs, research, literature, architecture, and any other kind of endeavor they undertake in Western societies.

I compare Asians to whites. They certainly do have abilities, which does place them in challenging positions. But, their credentials and performance are sub-par to whites, as I discussed above.

- I've written here about Vera Wang, the wedding dress designer, who is now designing fluffy, unstructured, wedding dresses in red and black.

- I discuss here and here the mediocre orchestral musicians of Asian origin.

- I discuss here the inferior intellectual abilities of Asians, abandoning higher level positions for lower level ones once they find their up-graded positions too challenging.

- Here is an article who elaborates on: East Asians, though their average IQ is higher than European Caucasians (105 IQ to 100 IQ), are not as inventive, creative, or as historically accomplished as European Caucasians.

- And here is an article by Steve Sailer comparing cheating by "high ability" Asians and by "high ability" Blacks and Hispanics. He concludes:

Cheating by high ability black and Hispanic students is virtually unknown, both in my own experience and a complete dearth of reported stories.
