The other day, I witnessed a Korean complain about whites using “WuFlu” or “Kung Flu” to describe the Chinese flu. He claimed that he and his family have been the victims of harassment, because angry whites are blaming China for the flu. Because white people are raging racists, we cannot tell the difference between Koreans and Chinese, so Koreans are getting the business from roving mobs and angry whites. It’s all nonsense, but not surprising. Hating white people is the national pastime.
This event happened on a message board, so I took the opportunity to remind the Korean guy that many white people lost family members saving his people from the clutches of communism. If not for white people, he would be standing in a rice paddy or pushing a wooden boat along a diseased river. That assumes he would be alive, as the life expectancy of Koreans was quite low until white people arrived. In a sane world, he would spend one day a year thanking white people.
If there is to be just one line to describe the history of white people on this planet, it should be “No good deed goes unpunished.” White people literally pulled the world out of the dark ages, but the world remains an ungrateful place. Asians in America are now working on their grievance tales, about how the round-eye was mean to them during the great yellow pandemic of 2020. The fact that they would be eating bugs and living in huts if not for the white man is conveniently forgotten.
One has to wonder if this is a bridge too far. Whites can tolerate ungrateful blacks, because of slavery. There’s also the fact that left to their own devices, blacks revert to a Neolithic lifestyle. Without white people, Africa would look like a Tarzan movie. This is something even the most far-left person knows, even if they refuse to admit it. White people feel obliged to help Africans, despite the lack of gratitude. It remains to be seen if the same dynamic can hold up with Asians.
Asia is not Africa. After the war, Japan rebuilt itself with the help of America and joined the modern world quite quickly. Korea took a lot longer, but once they found the right strongman, he pulled his people into the modern world. Again, massive help from America made it possible, but they eventually made it. Other Asian societies have joined modernity in fits and starts. Even Vietnam, which is one of the most backward places in Asia, has slowly modernized over the last few decades.
China, of course, is the elephant in the room. It was a backward, barbaric madhouse through the 1970’s. Before Deng Xiaoping dragged his country out of the dark ages of Maoism, it was one of the most dysfunctional societies on earth. Even so, she went from barbarism to modernity at a remarkable rate. China is still very Chinese, but China is not Africa. In fact, all of Asia has the human capital to avoid being Africa, even if the West turns its back on the continent. They don’t need us.
The same applies in America. Asians have never suffered much in the way of discrimination in America. The Japanese internment always gets brought up, but that was thoroughly justified. War is never pleasant. Otherwise, white people in America have welcomed Asians into the country and allowed them to make what they will of themselves and Asians have done quite well. East Asians have a median household income of $85,349 compared to $57,865 for whites.
Without the burden of slavery or low human capital, it seems like a hard sell to convince whites to feel guilty toward Asians. In fact, the result of such an effort could very well be the opposite, a resentment toward an ungrateful minority of visitors. Asking Africans to head back to their ancestral homeland is unreasonable. Asking Asians to go back to their homelands is not so unreasonable. Korea is a sparkling first world country, so if Koreans are unhappy in America, planes leave daily for Seoul.
Then there is that China problem. It is highly probable that China poisoned the world, causing massive damage and suffering. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it would have happened anyway, but the evidence is clear that China lied to the world about the nature of this virus and where it started. No amount of special pleading can cause white people to overlook this. Western politicians, despite their lunacy, will have no choice but to address the China problem, even if that makes the other Asians sad.
It is not just the virus or the lying about it. People forget that the Chinese tried to poison the world’s pets a few years back. In 2007, many brands of cat and dog foods had to be recalled due to contamination with melamine. The Chinese also poisoned our toothpaste with toxic chemicals. Go way back and we have the expression “sand bagging” from the way dishonest Chinese tea merchants tried to cheat their European customers. This is what’s called a pattern of behavior.
To Westerners, Asian habits are barbaric, but not primitive. Again, Asians are not backward people like Africans. Asians know better, but choose to eat dogs and cats and turn pests into bizarre delicacies. They choose to poison our pet food. With choice comes responsibility. If Asians choose to do these things, then the West has no choice but to turn its back on Asians. As we see with the virus pandemic, as a matter of survival, the West will have reevaluate its relationship with China.
That’s what makes the effort by Asians in America to play the victim card seem like a bridge too far. They can file their complaints with the office of grievances, but that line is very long. The reason the line is especially long is social distancing means everyone has to stand six feet apart. That and half the staff is working at home in order to avoid being too close to one another. No, there will not be a pogrom against Asians, but whitey is in no mood to hear their complaints.

Asians are another thing that the quantitative types on our side of the aisle get wrong. I don’t care what the Chinese mean IQ is. They don’t have souls.
“Are you stupid, Uriel? Japanese people don’t have souls!” – South Park, Season 9 Episode 4
I used to laugh back in the 80s when a friend of mine would often refer to the “immorality of the Asian mind.” Now I don’t laugh.
To my way of thinking the Asian mind is not so much IM-moral as DIFFERENTLY moral. For good or ill, we of European descent live under an ethos and morality that is HEAVILY steeped in Christianity. Asia remains – TO THIS VERY DAY – profoundly pagan.
Seriously, they are the perfect citizen for 2020, raw consumerism on steroids. Their attempts to graft themselves onto the civil Rights religion is just an acknowledgement that they have even less culture than the oppressive white man. Think of the typical tiger mom and dad, what do they actually DESIRE for their children? To become a doctor, yes, but not with the goal of saving lives or bettering the world. Only to increase the amount of vulgar materialism they can practice. The culture doesn’t really emphasize art, beauty, sadness, or joy. That’s why they fit so well in upper middle… Read more »
This is what the HBD crowd means when they say we are different and not interchangeable. They may be smart, but they are NOT us.
Nonsense, the HBD crowd is essentially the white version of Asian culture. They only care about quantifiable traits and outcomes.
Do you think Steve Sailer looks at the Sistine Chapel and is in awe of it’s beauty and expression of devotion on the part of Michelangelo? Or do you think he is impressed with the material effort it took to create it, the man hours, the scaffolding.
I’d say it’s the latter.
What the eff do you know about how Steve Sailer reacts to the Sistine Chapel? Punk.
As a longtime reader of Sailer, I’d say he’s impressed by both. He started out as a movie critic for UPI, and regularly reviews movies at Taki. He’s an appreciator of the aesthetics of art, music, and of course, golf course architecture.
I forgot about the golf course architecture thing. What a strange cat.
Anecdote: during a very brief career ca 2000 with a tiny firm with HQ in DC (It was a sub-sub-contractor), 8A firm Chinese owned. I had some contact with Chinese workers. Those with children would send their kids to “Chinese school” (no idea of percentages). In a way that’s good: Even in the affluent DC area, you’ll probably get higher quality at the average private academy. They want to teach their offpspring some of the mother land’s culture. This is both good and bad. Good to remember traditions, bad in the sense that it hinders assimilation. Still at the end… Read more »
I spent quite a bit of time in Japan back in about 2000 for work. What I came away with was that the Japanese are indeed a very soulless people. Their “religion” is merely a quaint series of traditional practices rather than a moral guide, and most young Japanese don’t even practice that. The kind of horrific degenerate hentai pornography displayed right out in the open was frankly embarrassing to me: pedophilia, bestiality, torture porn, you name it. The society is overrun with rampant consumerism to a degree that is parodic. They take the forms of Western holidays like Christmas… Read more »
I believe it was Roger Scruton (I could be wrong about the source) that spoke on why East Asia never developed classical music with the level of complexity seen in Europe.
I think it was attributed to Christianity, the idea of sin, repentance, forgiveness. And that it adds something to you. I think it’s that plus the concept of the individual which is missing in East Asia. Take those two things away and you end up in a sterile, if still materially successful, world.
Who cares about IQ.
They are not my tribe, my extended family, so they should live in their own community. Simple as that.
Let them live as they wish among their own, and I will do the same. It doesn’t need to be anymore complicated than that.
Regarding IQ, it’s arguably worse to be overrun by a high IQ culture than a low IQ one. An elite minority of high IQ Asians has done more damage to middle class White wages than Blacks or Hispanics (Hispanics are mostly a threat to lower class wages — in the same numbers as Asians, they’d be no threat at all). And they very quickly move up in society like sweet Sarah Jeong at the NYT where they shower us with hate and condescension. And that’s not even mentioning a certain stealth minority guilty of the same thing, even much more… Read more »
In the DC area, Asians and Indians are on the rise. Whites don’t like it. Jews really don’t like it because the Asians and Indians play their game.
Whites – even liberal whites – don’t like being lectured by Asians and Indians. It just doesn’t fly. Personally, I like Asians and Indians bitching about white racism because it wakes up a lot of whites,, especially upper middle class whites, who are realizing that this will never end and that their jobs and kids’ futures are threatened by these groups.
If only. What the 1965 immigration fiasco hath wrought . . .
What Vizzini said. I despair of my fellow Scandi nationalists when they argue that we should import Chinamen rather of Arabs.
Middle Easterners’ low IQ, repulsive cultures and despicable religion are their greatest assets – it ensures they’ll never hold any job beyond kebab-pusher, cab driver and token Mohammadan in government jobs. The moment the welfare state collapses, they’ll be remigrating in droves: why starve in Kuffarland when you can starve at home?
That is not the way it happens. They vote as a block and once enough numbers you are going to see a lot more decision makers in your govt. Look a the UK the number of English in the Cabinet is declining rapidly. (the top 4 are hindu (previously muslim incumbent), jew, hindu and Johnson who is Turkish/Jewish).
If you do not stop it and repatriate Denmark will end up the same.
No one has souls. Their problem, so far as we’re concerned, is that they don’t have trust. They don’t trust us, they don’t trust other Asians. Anyone outside their immediate circle is a mark to be cheated. You simply can’t do business with them.
OK, atheist.
Good point. Today I did some research (ok, two articles) about “Social Credit Theory.” Most of this probably from Wiki: I am surprised to learn that China is a low trust society. Social Credit sounds like a good idea, but always always, the devil in the details! The idea is nothing new, just a high tech version of reputation. In “the old days” say, you were a member of a church where you were known over a period of years, perhaps your whole life. To the extent you remained in a community, your neighbors had an excellent idea of your… Read more »
Never underestimate the level to which normie Whites have been conditioned to hate themselves.
We’ve been taught by the best self-hating group out there.
Five hundred years of being on top and a very clever 5th column minority pushing their agenda can lead a people to believe very stupid things.
Don’t worry, though. Nature – that wonderfully unmerciful bitch – hates wimps and will not put up with silliness for long. Whites either grow a pair and become tribal again, or we will blend into a strong group.
They don’t hate themselves, they hate other whites.
Thanks, Felix. That needs to remembered.
We need to be printing out #CancelChina posters and putting them up everywhere.
A colleague of mine is a Korean, brought to this country and cared for by white parents who adopted her. A few years ago she changed her last name back to her ancestral Korean name. Honestly, not a big deal, as where one comes from still matters, even if adopted. Unfortunately it’s slowly progressed to your usual prog victim bandwagon, complete with hectoring people who call COVID19 The Chinese flu and is trying to bask in those sweet, sweet, victim points.
No good deed goes unpunished indeed.
She has a great career in journalism ahead of her.
Biology triumphs. The next logical step would be for her to return to Korea. Some adoptees have, but they are not accepted by Koreans.
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/18/magazine/why-a-generation-of-adoptees-is-returning-to-south-korea.html
She could have lived in an orphanage and grew stunted due to malnutrition and despised due to probable illegitimacy, but she would have remained with her own kind.
The Kaepernick Effect.
Funny thing is, most of the “anti-Asian” incidents of the last couple months have been by blacks, in the typical black way. The Asians have to pretend that it’s mostly whites doing it. They understand that they cannot bitch publicly about Africans lest Jews accuse them of white supremacy, even though they are yellow.
I wonder what their dinner table conversations are like. “Can you believe how crazy white people are?”
“The Asians have to pretend that it’s mostly whites doing it.” How true. A video was very popular among single women a few years back of a woman walking New Yowk collecting 94, I think it was, minor to major cat-calls and physical interventions. Four offenders were white men. None of the complaining is made to the offending groups ever.
Yes, I remember that video. Most of it was black men saying mostly unoffensive things and feminists kvetching about it. There was a later video of a guy getting attention from women and they were way more aggressive.
Was she adopted at/shortly after birth or was she a toddler or even older? In my experience non-whites adopted as infants tend to be less likely to follow their biology than those adopted as toddlers or older. I speak as one who raised a “full-blood” Japanese infant (8 days of age) and who knows people and has family who have adopted non-whites – both infants and children. I have occasionally observed my Daughter affecting certain classic Japanese mannerisms. I have also observed her acting very much like either my wife or myself. Intellectually, she is very much my daughter. I… Read more »
> Was she adopted at/shortly after birth or was she a toddler or even older?
A good question I do not know the answer to.
There’s also the current fashion for Whites to adopt Black babies. A loving family and healthy environment can only do so much to overcome a negative genetic inheritance. The offspring of a welfare mamma and gangbanger isn’t going to grow up to be a Rhodes scholar. The pull of biology will probably pull the adoptee back into the Black world.
Back when they had a measure of good sense, white Americans didn’t always welcome Asians; there was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and efforts to keep out both Chinese and Japanese from the U.S., and especially from California. The AmRen site has had an article on this subject in the last day or so. But, as the Z-man notes in the case of internment of Japanese in the U.S. in World War II, the efforts to keep Chinese and Japanese out were totally justified. I know someone who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia and she says Chinese dislike of… Read more »
I’ve been to Manzanar; those interred there weren’t thrilled to be there but they understood.
If you’re ever in middle of nowhere California, be sure to go. The museum is actually pretty even-handed and not over White-hating.
When it comes to the Japanese internment you will see an awful lot of screaming from leftie types about racism and tyranny and so forth. I don’t recall actually seeing all that much complaining coming from Americans of Japanese descent themselves. The thing that anybody who complains about the internment conveniently forgets about is that spying by Japanese agents was a real concern in the US as well as a number of countries south of the US border. My mother in law has a newspaper from 1936 that has a page 5 story in it about concerns of Japanese “enemy”… Read more »
You never hear the interned Germans whining about it.
That’s because, for all intents and purposes, there weren’t any. The Germans and Italians looked like “us” and so were not singled out like the Nisei were.
Not a lot, but more than 11,000 Germans were interned during WW 2.
No one heard Joe Dimaggio complain either that his dad’s fishing boat was confiscated for the war.
Manzanar was only one of the camps. One of my Grandfathers was a carpenter and helped construct the Japanese internment camp outside of Monahans,Texas.
One time I went to the Chinese grocery in our little Chinatown and a Chinese lady was very nice to me and helped me find what I was looking for. I ❤ my Vietnamese dentist and Korean dental hygienist. They always send me an email on my birthday! Lol, it’s true.
Before you downvote this, read it in the tenor of a wine mom.
Well Trolled.
It is, but I actually do like my Vietnamese dentist, who is really not a likeable fellow. But I drew out of him that when he was 14 his parents were off being re-educated and he took his 12 year old sister and left in those awful boats, picked over twice by pirates, quarrantined etc. That type never play the hate whitey game. Maybe their kids do.
The funny thing is we always had a strange “love/hate” relationship with the Japanese. The industrialization post Meji restoration was one of the under appreciated economic miracles of the time–frankly the Chinese look like pikers under Deng. Japanese immigration always had a “special” status compared to Chinese–including Roosevelt’s “Gentlemen’s Agreement”. Plus they were accorded Great Power status at Versailles and the subsequent international agreement (Washington Naval Treaty, etc.). The 1924 Act caused a break, when Japanese were fully excluded from entry.
I don’t think white people are self-loathing in any real way. I think the problem is that white people don’t think of themselves as white, they do not have a white identity.
I disagree that the internment of the Japanese-Americans during WWII was justified. Anyone who knows much of anything about Japanese culture knows that Japanese who emigrate become solid citizens of their adopted nation. With few exceptions, there were no more loyal citizens than the Nisei. While there may have been sleeper agents among them, the vast majority of Nisei were every bit as loyal as any other Americans. I would have been much more suspicious of German or Italian immigrants – even 2nd or 3rd generation born here – than of any Japanese-Americans. You see, I took the time while… Read more »
A long, long time ago, spent quite a bit of research time on the origins and Congressional debates on the 1924 Immigration Act. Despite historical revisionism, Congress was taking a gimlet eyed stare at what was importing itself from Europe and rightfully concluded that stocking up on leftist radicals was not a good idea. Unfortunately, the Japanese got tacked on for exclusion, mostly due to Valentine McClatchy and his newspaper chain stirring up resentments and convincing reps from CA to tack on that language.
I worked for years with a lady from Carmel who was interred with her family in 1942. She obtained her high-school diploma at 16 and wasleft free to go directly to college in Chicago in 1944. She said her father, a very tradidional Japanese man, sat them down when the order came through and told them that no matter what happened now they would be all right, America was a good country, life would straighten out in time, and that they must be eternally grateful they were not in Japan.

The USA had best re-learn how to do its own manufacturing again, before we clamp down too hard on our yellow cousins across the western sea 🙂
Asians know better, but choose to eat dogs and cats and turn pests into bizarre delicacies. Not to mention that they use endangered animals in their folk remedies. It is, in fact, an established principle in Chinese “medicine” that the rarer the animal, the more potent the medicine. A family friend is geologist and related that sometimes in the mid-seventies, he was at one of the first international academic conferences in China after the Cultural Revolution. “See, this rock looks like a tiger, which must mean that…” Aghast, it dawned on him, that their classification was based, not on chemistry… Read more »
One more Chank anecdote.
A friend of mine works in wireless network encryption and is often in Singapore on business. One evening, he is taking beer with his colleagues and an American guy remarks that Chinese are unable to think in the abstract. A Chinese colleague of theirs protests vehemently.
“Fine”, the American says, “explain what a computer is.”
The Chinaman stares at him for a few seconds before pointing to his laptop “That is a computer”.
“…an American guy remarks that Chinese are unable to think in the abstract.”
It’s true though! East Asian art demonstrates it. Traditional paintings from various countries’ “old masters” looks more or less the same across the spectrum. Auction prices for a handful of Chinese artists apparently worth collecting don’t really approach some any number of individual Western artist’s entire bodies of work.
They are Moties.
I’m trying to think of something handy they’ve invented in the past 100 years. Not having much luck.
I was going to relate several anecdotes but will only point out the obvious that books could be written on the self-imposed obtuse idiocy of the Chinese language.
Always wondered in the phonetic structure of Western Language was a huge advantage in proliferation of new ideas, as you can easily go from the spoken word to writing by following < 100 phonetic rules.
Chinese, on the other hand, requires memorizing an entirely new symbol for new words/ideas.
I’ve read the same thing. Certainly plausible. Similarly, “Arabic” numbers (I guess nowadays the PC crowd should call it “numeral system of Indian subcontinental origin”) replaced the Roman not least because it introduced the zero, which is essential for math. Nonetheless, the Romans still did quite well, if you consider many of their engineering and other achievements.
The Chinese invented the typeset press 500 years before the Europeans. And for five hundred years, they used it for printing paper money – a fact they’re extremely proud of.
Two decades after Guthenberg, there were more than a thousand print shops in Europe, and Europe was in the throes of political, philosophical, scientific and religious revolutions.
Same story with gunpowder. In the space of time it took the Chinese to develop artillery rockets into slightly less ineffectual artillery rockets, the Europeans went from stone cannonballs to machine guns.
I don’t know any spoken Chinese so I cannot comment but I’m not so sure about their written language. While on the one hand one must learn a different symbol for each new written word, that symbol is the same irrespective of which dialect of Chinese the reader may speak. So a Cantonese-speaking writer may pen a novel which can be read by a Mandarin-speaking reader without any translation being necessary. Japanese is very similar. Their written language (Kanji) is based upon the Chinese written language. In fact a reasonably well educated Japanese person can read a Chinese newspaper with… Read more »
A key aspect of the problem with dealing with the CCP is that they began bribing and blackmailing US politicians, business executives, and media power players nearly two decades ago. And that effort has borne much fruit. Much like the Mafia of yore, they own a lot key people in important positions. And this is worldwide, not just the US. As an example, Joe Biden (and his kin) are owned lock, stock, & barrel by the CCP. And half the country wants to make him the next president.
Perhaps we’re reaching a tipping point on globalization? Yesterday on twitter, something called the George W. Bush Presidental Center (@TheBushCenter) posted this: “When the crisis is over…we must be ready to come together around a new strategy for globalization that secures its benefits and cures its ills.” And linked to this article: https://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2020/03/25/globalization_and_resilience_responding_to_the_pandemic_487506.html The “like to reply ratio” was more lopsided than I’ve ever seen on twitter. Thousands of replies, 99.9 percent along the lines of “hell no,” “globalization is what got us into this mess,” “STFU,” “hard pass,” “Pat Buchanan was right,” “enough with globalization”…..and so on….

American Blacks and East Asians living in America seem to dislike each other at a level that appears to be pre-conscious. Based on what I have heard from men who have served in four different countries in East Asia, this is a universal phenomenon, varying in intensity (or at least obviousness) depending on the locale.
It would be malpractice not to exploit this and similar friction between the other tribes contesting for this continent. But the hall monitors and den mothers of purity always wet themselves when I bring up engaging nonwhites to achieve our own objectives.
I remember one of Eddie Murphy’s old comedy routines was a scathing bit on Asians and their “little rice dicks.”
“What it’s like to be black in Asia” meme is kind of funny in this regard.

I notice that all the posturing is starting. There was virtually no push-back on any of this until the good news started being reported. Now the cucks are doing a “social distancing” “protest” in Michigan and other places.

This is why I know that if/when the gov demands their guns, they will bitch and moan and dutifully turn them in.
Re: ” After the war, Japan rebuilt itself with the help of America and joined the modern world quite quickly.” I would argue that Japan REJOINED the modern world quite quickly – because technologically at least they were pretty well integrated into the modern world well before the war. The Japanese made huge advances in a relatively short period of time after their initial exposure to the Western world. The Russian Navy learned that in 1905. There’s been allegations that the Japanese were experimenting with nuclear technology in Korea during the WW2 time period. Battleships like the Yamato are not… Read more »
In Victorian Anthropology, it was a acknowledge that the Japanese were almost the equal of the white man. But they correctly pointed out that if China united they would dominate the world again.

It’s probably not a coincidence that Japan is the only place left producing non-POZ television entertainment.
Thanks for bringing up Internment, as our national myth about it is one of my pet peeves. In a typical American High School US History class it is often the centerpiece of the World War II unit- that and how we dropped the big one on the unsuspecting DINDU Japs. I tell the kids in my classes that while reasonable people can disagree as to the necessity of internment, they are to avoid any comparisons to concentration camps. In addition I disabuse them of the following myths: 1. No Germans nor Italians were interned. False. 2. Huge numbers of US… Read more »

“White people literally pulled the world out of the dark ages.” And please remind us who put them into the dark ages in the first place. Pretty sure it was white people. Last time I checked, the Chinese didn’t sack Rome. Fact is white Europeans are their own worse enemy, just like most black Africans are their own and most Asians are their own worse enemy too.
Please, Herr Kraut, try not to hate yourself TOO much. It gets tiresome. The occasional genuflection in front of a candle-lit photo of St. Churchill is all that is necessary.
Fuck off. The rest of the world never had a Roman flowering of knowledge to begin with. China’s own culture wasn’t affected appreciably one way or the other by the Western Dark Ages, and Africans were stone age before and after. The Western enlightenment spread around the world and benefited the whole world. Nobody said we weren’t our own worst enemy, but we have also been the best thing to happen to the rest of the world. The lack of mobility back in those times prevented much else from being the case. Then again, Ghengis Khan was an Asian and… Read more »

The Classical Age did not end with the fall of Rome. It continue for a century and a half with the Gothic Kingdoms in the west and Byzantine Empire in the east. It collapsed when the first round of Bubonic plague arrived from China with invading Muslims right behind it.
The Dark Ages began when Muslims took out the North African Christian kingdoms and brought economy of the Mediterranean to a halt with piracy.
Wait, wait, wait Drake…you’re telling me the economy matters?

A note on Japanese Internment: Not all the Japanese were interned, which was focused on the West coast due to the threat of Japanese attacks and possible invasion (Imperial Japan decided to not get any closer than invading some islands in Alaska). My Dad grew up in Fort Lupton, Colorado. At the time, the population was nearly 50% Japanese at the time (brought in pre Great Depression as cheap farm, railroad, and mining labor). No internment was done. A lot of friends of my Dad (2nd generation Japanese) volunteered for service and after some delay, were sent to the European… Read more »

“whitey is in no mood to hear their complaints.” Z-man got that right in spades. I have had more than enough of grievance peddling, period. Not for one second will I entertain a complaint from an Asian about their treatment here. As Z-man points out, planes leave almost hourly for Asia. Don’t like it here? Easy solution – take the next flight out. I wouldn’t confine this advice to Asians either. Don’t like it? Too “racist” for you? Go to where the grass is greener, the people more tolerant. Not an appealing option? Then Shut TF up. (Like I said,… Read more »
I have lived cheek and jowl for many decades with East Asians. I find most to be good neighbors, colleagues and friends. That being said, I am aware of some underlying tribal resentments. A person of Asian background recently told me about being accused of racism after admonishing a young Korean for doing something anti-social! I strongly suspect that certain Asians (especially the younger ones) are being agitated by our wonderful media, such as the New York Times, and academia. They are same people who turn our women against us. As such and light of this current lock down, I… Read more »
My old man, two uncles and a great uncle got to spend “holidays” on the Korean peninsula from ’50-54. It changed all of them. Great uncle got yanked back to active duty at the outset, since apparently guys who managed to survive D+6 to VE in a Sherman were considered “talent”. Never recall any of them getting a thank you card. Though, to their credit, the Koreans made the most of the blood contribution. I’ve always found societies that manage to maintain their identity when surrounded by great powers interesting–think Korea and Vietnam interesting. Have to hand one thing to… Read more »
In the U.S. Marine Corps there is a lot of respect for ROK Marines. Hard little bastards who are fully prepared to fight to the death.
My understanding was that in Vietnam the NVA would deliberately avoid contact with Korean units for that reason. We had a guy owned a dry cleaners in town and used to march in the Memorial Day parade every year and was a member of the local VFW post, though he had served in the Korean Armed forces–and in Vietnam. Didn’t find out until after he died recently that he was “grandfathered” into the org because he was apparently one of those “badasses”.
I’ve been arguing for years that Asians and Indians were a bridge too far for whites. I live in Northern Virginia suburbs of DC, which have very big Asian and Indian populations, so I’ve seen this up close. The look on liberal white faces when an Asian or Indian starts spouting off about racism is very different than when blacks or Jews do it. Cuck whites – especially white women – get no tingle from the guilt whip held by Asian or Indian hands. (It doesn’t hurt that these whites recognize Asians and Indians as a threat to their lives… Read more »
Ah, Z? The Chinese didn’t just try to poison our pets. They used the melamine trick (it made the product appear to have more protein than it actually had on the tests the U.S. importers used) in pretty much any food-type product they made – including BABY FORMULA!!! That’s right. They adulterated several brands of non-milk-based powdered baby formula. I remember because one of my grandsons was still taking a bottle and word about the recall of several national brands was all over the news. I made damned sure my daughter wasn’t using any of those brands! Turns out she… Read more »
The Japanese are the same way with what they call “Gai-jins” (literally “foreign persons”). If you can get away with it, in Japan, it is considered somehow better to cheat a customer than it is to deal with them honorably. The tech startup I used to work with never had to worry about software licensing protection at all until we got into the Asian market. Our American and European customers simply would never dream of stealing or reverse engineering our product. But as soon as we started doing business in China, we got calls from our NIC supplier about our… Read more »
The Chinese will steal anything and everything. This is something few Americans grasp.
What most people would find shocking is the utter casualness of the corruption. Years ago had to dispose of what I’d term a “reverse Biden” problem with one of the state owned enterprises. Graft is a fully developed industry with surprisingly little effort made to put “cover” on the gambit. It is simply expected.
Many cultures/peoples consider it your job to avoid getting ripped off. In their minds, only children or idiots let their guard down.
To this day, you will notice Chinese tourists buying up baby formula abroad and bringing it back for relatives….they know not to trust themselves. The difference is that they are self aware on that point. We are not.
Now is the time, y’all! Get on social media. Use their stupid fucking #hashtag things against them. #CancelChina. Put it everywhere. End your emails with it. Make it the “Delenda est Carthago” of a new generation. Get *that* ball rolling, and stuff like closed borders naturally follows. They call you a racist, you say “no, I’m just concerned about the safety of our children. You obviously aren’t.” For extra effect, point out all the Chinese-made crap they have right now on their person (e.g. smartphone).
If they’re here, the Koreans ought to be thanking white people every single day. Every minute. And praying to whatever gods they pray to that we don’t ship their raggedy posteriors back to Korea. Which we ought to do. But which we won’t do, because far too many of us are filled with self-loathing for having created modernity.
At the great risk of being downvoted and my day destroyed, let me stick up for East Asians here: 1) They have souls. That’s a ridiculous slander. 2) They have deep, spiritual cultures. The last few decades have wrought havoc on their traditional values, but which country except Bhutan has NOT been subverted by capitalism? 3) They absolutely have a morality. Yes they prize the community over the individual, and tend to be xenophobic (as quite a few commenters here are being) but that doesn’t mean they’re amoral monsters. 4) The bat-eaters are nouveau riche peasants. Educated & middle-class Chinese… Read more »
Maybe, but we should never forget that they are a different tribe.
Do business with them when it suits us; otherwise, let them live in the world that suits them and let us live in our world. No need to slander or praise other groups. They aren’t my family, so they have no say in my family’s affairs and can’t live in my house.
This was a very timely and clarifying column. Thanks Z-man.
“No good deed goes unpunished.” Just so—no need to elaborate. I’d like to see “NGDGU” join the pantheon of abbreviated phrases (TL;DR, IMO, OTOH, NSFW, LOL) that instantly consign a given article or action to a useful category.
For example, lately Steve Sailer has been digging up editorials written by Asian chicks venting their anti-white animus. Why waste time arguing with such people? Type NGDGU into the comments of their little tirades, and move on.
Overall a good post. Just some usual criticism: “White people literally pulled the world out of the dark ages.” Broadly agree. Left unasked is, “Did white people plunge the world (Europe at least) into the dark ages?” Yes, damned right they did. Unless you are a Caucasian with an unusual amount of body hair, it is extremely probable that your ancestors were barbarians from what is today North Europe. Now, the rise and fall of a civilization’s causes are complex, but it is safe to say that the barbarians had no trouble supplanting Roman rule as the Roman empire pulled… Read more »
A few years ago, a friend in the paper industry went to China to buy large amounts (many trailer-loads) of paper because it was less expensive. The Chinese seller told him he manufactured the paper and my friend asked for a tour of his plant. As the Chinese man showed him the giant rolls of paper at the facility, my friend continually asked to see the machinery used to manufacture the paper. The Chinese man kept stalling and my friend persisted, until finally the Chinese man said, “I admit, I’m lying to you. I’m just a broker, not a manufacturer.… Read more »
Waiting for gratitude is waiting for Godot. Non-whites see our spiritual weakness, lack of tribalism and inability to stand for own interests as a weakness to be exploited similar to how our predecessors in the 18th, 19th and part of the 20th century exploited their technological, scientific and, in part, cultural weaknesses to impose our rule on them. All the points about whites building the modern world notwithstanding, and with which I actually agree, they have a point there. History shows very few instances of gratitude lasting more than a nanosecond. George Washington was not grateful to England for removing… Read more »
“Asians in America are now working on their grievance tales” Well, maybe not ALL the Asians in America. ” the evidence is clear that China lied to the world about the nature of this virus and where it started” We knew it was from Wuhan from the beginning. Everybody suspected either the lab or the market, so there were no real surprises there either. There is an awful lot of “pot calling the kettle black” these days. If some idiot released a virus from an American lab, would the authorities have been any more forthcoming? Politicians lie. Bureaucrats lie. “China”… Read more »
So Jews are just Asians with Kosher rules so they don’t eat strange things? They are the most successful and most ungrateful minority. China may cause unwanted light to be shed on the priviliged “victims”.
Harvard managed to slip out of its Chinese Exclusion Actions, but they may appeal the decision.
China needs to have the whites do a Holocaust on them so they can lay a perpetual guilt trip.
My family lost a cat to those chi-com bastards from melamine contaminated food. Had to reevaluate pet food from then on. TBH it was an early redpill for me regarding processed foods.
