Are Asians the new Jews?

[techs]

I'm feeling the hate and resentment because Asians are so successful in schools and standardized tests.
It's quite similiar to what happened to Jewish people in America. The difference is there are so many more Asians than Jews.
Jews used to be kept out of universities by quota systems. Jews did exceptionally well in schools and on standardized tests. Why? See below:

Wake the fuck up America. Stop glorifying know nothing morons and people who did well without a formal education. My God, for every Bill Gates who got rich without a college education there are millions who didn't. Stop making excuses for dumb politicians by claiming they are "plain spoken". How many plain spoken morons are successful corporate execs? Not many. Recognize that education and brains are a GOOD thing.

So, wise up America. The problem isn't Asian or Jews. The problem lies in your attitudes toward education and your expectations for your childrens education.

Try praising them when they do good on test, as least as much as when they score a touchdown.

Asians are not the chosen people fool. They are also shorter than the average Jew, so of course, no they are not the new Jew.

Can we start banning people now before the "Asian" nef fest starts?

much of it has to do with parenting, unfortunately...

You cant force people to accept new values no matter how much time and money you throw at it.

This American sense of individualism is a double edged sword. The work output and fruit of a group is better than an individual that thinks they're above it all. Many Americans lack a sense of humility and sacrifice for the greater good (not only their immediate family). :awe:

Comparing any group to the Jews is pretty much fail, as they are an ethnic group and a religion too.

Is the use of Vagisil on your lips a religious practice?

Crap, this reminds me that i forgot to get any Ramen Noodles at the store today.

Wow, you apparently don't know shit about Asian Americans. The moment you actually grow up in America, you do not give a crap about the "greater" good either, aside from your own individual sensibilities.

Jews are more defined by ethnicity.. I think. You can not easily "become" a Jew, I think you have to born as one.

One of my favorite pick up lines was from a dude thats pretty good looking & very black...

He would be flirting with a pretty girl that wasnt black and notice a typically black feature, like curly hair, flat nose, anything, and hed say, Do you have some black in you? The girl, being sensitive to race issues say no carefully and hed say Would you like some?

Read my post again and tell me where I said something about asian americans.

The answer is no, Asians are not the new Jews. They aren't that good.

Myth versus Facts: Asian American and Model Minorities

Myth: Asian-Americans are a model minority.

Fact: Asian-American immigrants to the U.S. have been highly self-selected


Unlike blacks, Asians have migrated to the U.S. voluntarily. The forced capture and transport of Africans means that the U.S. black population is more likely to be a true cross section of African society, whereas Asians, who migrate voluntarily, tend to be self-selected. What type of voluntary immigrant would take residence in the U.S.? Naturally, those who could afford to make the trip. For immigrants from neighboring nations, like Mexico, this is relatively easy, a matter of crossing a land border. Again, this would tend to make the U.S. Hispanic population a true cross section of its original society. Asians, however, must be able to afford a trans-oceanic journey. Not surprisingly, those who could afford such a trip would tend to belong to their homeland's middle and upper classes.

In a thorough study of Houston's Asian American population, Dr. Stephen Klineberg confirmed what sociologists have long known about the advantaged backgrounds of Asian immigrants. "The survey makes it clear that Asians have been relatively successful in Houston primarily due to the educations and middle class backgrounds they brought with them from their countries of origin," Klineberg says. "One of the key messages from the survey is that we have to discard the 'model minority' stereotype that is so often applied to Asians in America. [It overlooks] the fact that a high proportion of Asian immigrants come from an occupational and educational elite."

they don't vote. There's a huge conservative Asian population in san francisco. If they would vote they would could change the face and boot out the secular progressive KOOKS over night.

WTF?
Interestingly the most successful Asian countries, in terms of standard of lliving for its people, are Japan and Taiwan. Two high tax, strong infrastructure, universal healthcare countries.

And if you actually examined their economic infrastructure in detail, you'd realize they have been in one form of recession or other for the last two decades!

Uh, whats your point?
They both have far higher standards of living than Asian countries with low tax, low benefit economies. Like the Philippines.
The reason they have been hurting lately is it seems that they are losing business to slave populations in countries like Viet Nam and China.
Which, btw, is also hurting the US economy.
I guess high wage, high benefit economies can only thrive in a true free market. Not one where a large proporation of their competitors have access to slave labor.

 

[Freshgeardude]

being a jew myself, I can probably explain why.

A lot of jews have strict parents which teach us good values throughout our youth. We go to private jewish schools which are usually very small, (my school probably has 500 at most k-12) so the experience through school is more personal. For example, our college advisor begins relationships with us in 8th grade rather than in public schools where the advisor comes in during 11th grade and helps u sign up for SATs and stuff.

I know that I know I don't want the Chinese immigrants to vote. The way my mom votes is scary.

"I'm voting for that person because he/she is Chinese."
"I'm voting for that person because I recognize the name."

I tell her to just not vote if she doesn't know what she's doing. She'll always respond that it's a waste if she doesn't vote. Ffffuuuuuuu.
