Asians have faced fierce discrimination in America, but
this has not stopped them from working hard and getting ahead.
In fact, they have been so successful in "racist" America that
whites have even begun to complain about Asian achievement.
Whether one looks at Japanese and Chinese, who have been in
America for generations, or Koreans and Vietnamese, who have
arrived more recently, Asians have been remarkably successful...
The achievements of more recent Asian immigrants have been
well publicized. Everyone has heard of Vietnamese children who
came to America unable to speak English and then, a few years
later, graduated at the tops of their high-school classes...
Throughout this period of constant prejudice and persecution,
Chinese worked hard, saved their money, and built better lives for
themselves. By the time they had full, legal standing in this country,
many Chinese had incomes comparable to those of native-born
whites. By 1969, Chinese as a group outearned Italian, German,
and even Anglo-Saxon Americans.
During the 1960s, Chinatown was the part of San Francisco with
the most unemployment and poverty, the highest rate of tubercu-
losis, the least education, and the most substandard housing.
Nevertheless, in 1965, only five people of Chinese ancestry went
to jail in the whole state of California. 377
- Jared Taylor, "Paved with Good Intentions"
Wherever you look, Asians outperform whites academically and financially...
we have a considerably less than one standard deviation difference between
Asian IQ — North Asian IQ — and white IQ. I think that, too, is a result of
genetics, and I think that that is what explains the dominance of Asians in
certain fields, and their lower rates of illegitimacy compared to whites, their
lower crime rates, their better achievement in school, their higher average
incomes...
I think [East] Asians are objectively superior to whites by just about any measure
that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful
society.
