How is a tiny mestizo man like They supposed to compete with these Tiger Daughters in the SJW business?

The SJW business is show business and …. “There’s No Business Like Show Business” from Annie Get Your Gun and the show business being referred to is Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Some things never change. Rush Limbaugh often jokes that politics is Hollywood for ugly people.

And her frat bro boy friend is tall for a sub continental kinda guy. Maybe he is only half a sub/c. She is Bollywood worthy, going by the head shot.

This SJW stuff…

What is alarming is that so much of MSM(what should be real news) now peddle fake news whereas what used to be intentionally fake news on The Onion is now real news. Even Onion couldn’t have cooked up stuff this kooky. Some brown loonie goes on attempted murder spree — neo-Aztec sacrificial ritual? — , demands to be addressed as ‘they’, and there is an earnest discussion of his or they’s ‘gender’ rights. No one reads Onion anymore cuz they can get their dose of nuttery from MSM.

Give SJW culture credit for one thing. We will never be bored. UVA nazi rape gang, Michael Brown the gentle giant, endless ‘hate hoaxes’, pussy hats, Putin is hitler, micro-aggressions, triggers, Muslim-feminist alliance, pussy riot are heroes, etc.

When PC began to attack normality as sick and pushed the ‘new normal'(which is a euphemism for abnormal), this was bound to happen. Consider terms like ‘heteronormative’ as a negative word. I mean what can be more normal and natural than men and women falling in love and having kids? But ‘heteronormative’ became a slur. And ‘homophobia’ said you are sick in the head is you find homo stuff ‘gross’. Not just wrong, not just vile, but sick in the head.

And the elites with institutional and legal power remade the law so that anyone who didn’t comply with the ‘new normal’ — abnormal supremacism — was destroyed.

Conservatives ignored as just an itch or rash that could be ignored or tolerated, but it turned out to be cancerous and destroyed the souls of the millennial generation.

A healthy society must first be honest with its ailments. When there is cancer, it has to be diagnosed as cancer. PC is cancer. It never stops, it never rests. It just grows and grows.

Only with proper diagnosis can the disease be seen for what it is and handled correctly.

Homomania was key in this rot because it overturned some of the most crucial and fundamental facts of biology and meaning of morality. By letting that one lunacy get a foothold as the ‘new normal’, all the other junk was bound to follow.

Just like financial derivatives. Let some toxic stuff in, and standards become lowered and all the other toxic stuff also demands in. Result is financial meltdown of 2008.

And let us not neglect the armchair social justice warriors flooding into Slate, Atlantic, The New Republic and so on? Our universities have graduated a large surplus of leftist/SJW English major types with high verbal skills. Where are they going to work and find jobs? The jobs at SJW news outlets cannot possibly pay very much but the internet is left ringing with their self righteous screeds.

Hilarious. Like you said:

Have you ever noticed that basically everything you are supposed to believe in these days—feminism, diversity, etc.—turns out in practice to just be another way for hot babes, rich guys, super salesmen, cunning financiers, telegenic self-promoters, and powerful politicians to get themselves even more money and power?

Didn’t Enrique win Sailer’s ‘man of the year’ award?

I think 2016 winner should go to ‘they’ but maybe it should ‘men or women of the year’. After all, he or she or it is ‘they’.

A look at her LinkedIn page shows she has high-level skills in mathematics, computer programming, and robotics. She is also a marathon runner and has an incredible singing voice, based on readily YouTube videos.

And yet she was only able to get 40 people to turn out for her anti-rape protest at Berkeley:

Is Anita Sarkeesian a Tiger Daughter?

This is insightful, Steve.

But rather than a Michael Lewis article, how about Daniel Waters rebooting his Heathers screenplay and setting it among aspiring SJWs at Berkeley?

So, it’s rising Tiger Daughters taking these jobs away from the earlier generation of white leaders claiming to be less white than they look, from Jorge Ramos and Elizabeth Warren to Shaun King.

Also see this Asian-looking woman complaining about how whites make more money per hour than various other races, with a comparison to Asian earnings conspicuous by its absence: https://www.facebook.com/myiannopoulos/photos/a.594779487326617.1073741828.423006854503882/827105254094038/?type=3&permPage=1

Are there no worthy successors to Al Sharpton? I actually admire him.

Positive traits of non-whites never be non-white traits. They must be part-white traits. Just must be.

As Razib Khan was fond of pointing out, India is a rather big place with a lot of genetic structure. People in some regions are much taller than those in others. There is definitely a north-south gradient in height in Asia, not just India (e.g. even though Japan is richer than Korea, Korean men are taller than Japanese men).

They of theyear

Tom Wolfe again (in I am Charlotte Simmons the lesbo-oriented arch-arrogant anti-white SJW is an Asian tigresse).

Have you ever noticed that basically everything you are supposed to believe in these days—feminism, diversity, etc.—turns out in practice to just be another way for hot babes, rich guys, super salesmen, cunning financiers, telegenic self-promoters, and powerful politicians to get themselves even more money and power?

That’s can’t be helped. Where there’s a treasure trove you’ll get the staunchest narcissists, wealth-maximizers and status-maximizers, both the healthy and not so healthy variety.

And then there’s They’s co-leader at They’s big protest, a South Asian Gender Studies major who is a wonderful example of Tiger Daughterism.

Is the “tiger…” moniker applicable to South Asians? Shouldn’t we come up with something different for them since the tiger thing is for East Asians? After all, Indian parents don’t do this to their kids:

Although Indian emigre parents have high expectations of their children as East Asian emigre parents do, my general impression is that the former tend to be much more indulgent and pampering in non-academic matters than the latter are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_tiger

It’s just, well, stereotyping. South Asians are on average shorter than whites; so a tall South Asian must be part-white. Blacks are dumber on average than whites; so a really smart black must be part-white. (Though: South Asians are, on average, also dumber than whites; so a really smart South Asian must be high caste. So the assumption is not always white ancestry.)

And often these things are true. Really smart blacks are often lighter skinned than dumb blacks. Not always, of course, but it’s not a bad bet to think that smart blacks (even if darker complexioned, since genes responsible for skin color are different from the genes responsible for intelligence) have a higher percentage of white ancestry. Or that very tall South Asians might have European ancestry. It’s never sure. The commentator you’ve replied to added the word “maybe”.

India has some colder regions with really cold winters, which probably makes those regions similar to regions way to the north.

Slate, New Republic and Atlantic? One of the worst pajama-boy SJW writers is quite “mainstream” at the Washington Post, Dana Milbank. He’s in his thirties and freely admits he lives, that’s right, in Mom’s basement. His screed are infantile, complaining and perhaps reflect his own situation. Still, there he is for years now, sniffing up the a-hole of everyone and every situation that pisses him off, except with the compassion of a nod to SJW rhetoric toward this group or that, his virtue-signaling the real goal.

The thing with SJW is the virtue-signaling, that is, “I’m good and compassionate and SJW”. These folks, and Dana Milbank is one of them, are so bent they could be kidnapped by 6 Blacks, tied up, slapped around, robbed, sexually assaulted where the sun don’t shine and left nekkid on the steps of the Washington Post, all fully documented on Skype, Facebook and Twitter. Given a robe, Dana Milbank would crawl to his desk and type out a screed about how it was all his fault, or Trump’s fault, anyone’s fault but the perpetrators because telling the TRUTH of the matter would instantly wipe out his SJW street cred.

And so with that, where are we to find the truth? And what the hell are we thinking loaning money for this kind of “education”? What happened to the notion of “college material”, as the average Liberal Arts pursuit and student are NOT. “You just aren’t college material” a common refrain forty years back. And so the men go get a trade or bail to the military and the women go find a job and a husband, likely said tradesman that also not college material, but still perfectly worthy.

When we force colleges to co-sign college loans, the worthless SJW degrees will instantly vanish because no one in those courses and programs could get a job to pay back their loans and the colleges sure wouldn’t want to pay the loan. College for those who are college material, real college for real intellects. When we got to the point that everyone was deemed college material (and underwriting the concept), that was our doom, a foolish, idiotic concept. It was a scam. Do the math, check the dates, there’s no arguing the point. Wanna MAGA? Go back to the concept of College Material, but enforce it by forcing colleges and universities to cosign loans. Nonsensical “Studies” programs AND the SJW culture will instantly disappear. T’would be for the best for everyone and everything, except for their endowments..

Blame Rich, Overeducated Elites as Our Society Frays by Peter Turchin https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2013-11-20/blame-rich-overeducated-elites-as-our-society-frays

Elite overproduction generally leads to more intra-elite competition that gradually undermines the spirit of cooperation, which is followed by ideological polarization and fragmentation of the political class. This happens because the more contenders there are, the more of them end up on the losing side. A large class of disgruntled elite-wannabes, often well-educated and highly capable, has been denied access to elite positions. Consider the Antebellum U.S.

He gets it! As in the cliche – Too many chiefs and not enough Indians? But we have more than enough Indians.

Interesting analysis Steve. That said, if you do ever get the chance to see an intersectional version of the Vagina Monologues don’t miss out…

Yes, but are there Indian guys doing this with Bengal tigers? http://www.mediod.com/blog/2014/11/8/siberian-tiger-the-remarkable-story-of-sooyong-park

She can sniff out a profitable scam when it’s nearby anyway.

I wonder what the alternative is. A society where hot babes and rich guys openly justify their success by the fact that they’re hot or rich, with no other ideological fig leaf? I guess it would at least be honest.

It’s just, well, stereotyping. South Asians are on average shorter than whites; so a tall South Asian must be part-white.

Again, South Asia is a HUGE region with a great deal of genetic diversity – there are dramatic regional and caste variations in traits such as IQ and height, based on both genetic and environmental differences such as diet.

It’s one thing to stereotype based on group averages, but it’s another thing entirely to assume immediately white ancestry just because of high variance from that average.

I’m East Asian and 6′ 2″. It’d be just as stupid and lazy to assume that I have European ancestry, just because of my height.

India has some colder regions with really cold winters, which probably makes those regions similar to regions way to the north.

It likely has little to do with climate, and more to do with genetics and diet. I suspect Punjabis are taller on average than Kashmiris. And Nepalis are quite short.

Of course, it could be that she’s only 4’11”.

“Is the ‘tiger…’ moniker applicable to South Asians? Shouldn’t we come up with something different for them since the tiger thing is for East Asians?”

It’s even odder when one knows that, in traditional Sinospheric symbolism, the tiger is a symbol for the west (alongside the color white and the element metal/gold/money). (However, the tiger also can represent ENE of the compass or the third two-hour division of a day according to the East Asian zodiac.)

The Hairy Ape – Eugene O’Neill

The Hairy Ape is a 1922 expressionist play by American playwright Eugene O’Neill. It is about a brutish, unthinking laborer known as Yank, the antagonist of the play, as he searches for a sense of belonging in a world controlled by the rich. At first, Yank feels secure as he stokes the engines of an ocean liner, and is highly confident in his physical power over the ship’s engines and his men.

However, when the rich daughter of an industrialist in the steel business refers to him as a “filthy beast”, Yank undergoes a crisis of identity and so starts his mental and physical deterioration. He leaves the ship and wanders into Manhattan, only to find he does not belong anywhere—neither with the socialites on Fifth Avenue, nor with the labor organizers on the waterfront. In a fight for social belonging, Yank’s mental state disintegrates into animalistic, and in the end he is defeated by an ape in which Yank’s character has been reflected. The Hairy Ape is a portrayal of the impact industrialization and social class has on the dynamic character Yank.

It likely has little to do with climate, and more to do with genetics and diet.

Selection usually favors bigger animals in cold climates. But true, Nepalis are a counter-example.

I’ve seen Tibetans, though, and they seemed to be bigger, similar to North Chinese, who in my experience are quite big (at least the young people, I’m not sure about older ones).

OT, but just like that, poof, TPP is gone….

We are living in a time of myth, legend, and giants.

If you have little information, you still need some model in your head. Tall (and, generally big) East Asians do exist, I’ve seen many, so I, for example, never assume tall East Asians to have any white ancestry.

Is is just me or are the cockroach-aliens working the shell of the ‘human’ known as George Soros having increasing problems maintaining outward appearances? Proof that MIB wasn’t fiction?

Her boyfriend is a white or whiteish guy. His last names is “Barnes” and he comes a California city with very few minorities. I won’t include his first name (it’s a fairly typical American name), just to maintain his privacy (his surname is common enough). I assume that maybe he’s somehow mixed (perhaps part-Hispanic).

Very unlikely he’s Indian.

A few observations.

1. I’ve noticed that among SJW/feminist women, there are disprortionately high percentage of Indian/Paki women. They’re something like 1.5% of the national population and mostly new immigrants, but they are very noticeable in activism. It’s interesting. For example, Hillary seemed pretty close to a few South Asian women (Huma Abedin, Neera Tanden), but she didn’t seem to hang out much with Asians.

2. Asians actually seem underrepresented among SJWs. I see some, but their representation is far smaller than their proportion of the population. Asians outnumber Indian/Pakis by a 2.5 to 1 ratio nationally, but are strongly outnumbered in the SJW world. Asian men are actually even more underrepresented as SJWs than Asian women. For whatever reason, Asians (especially Asian males) aren’t drawn to activism much.

3. Asian and Indian/Paki women have different personality types. Asian women (on the surface) are usually demure and try to be socially pleasing. Indian/Paki women are huge ball busters with attitude. Worse than white feminists and maybe even worse than Jewish women. That may influence their politics.

4. Both Asian and Indian/Paki women are really into white men. I’m not surprised that this girl’s boyfriend is white. Both races seem to regard their men as being undesirable and can be fairly accesible if you’re a white guy. Indian/Paki women seem to have an especially strong revulsion towards their men. Interestingly, Indian/Paki women seem to often marry their own men in the end. They’re accesible for dating, but have a strong perference for in-group marriages. They may rail against the white patriarchy, but they like dating it too.

Matt Forney (a contributor to the site run by Turkish-American pickup artist Roosh Valizadeh) had an interesting article about Indian/Paki women.

http://www.returnofkings.com/51395/5-reasons-why-you-should-not-date-indian-girls

If you live in the west, dating an Indian girl is one of the worst decisions you can make. Indians combine the worst of their native culture and the worst of American culture in one disgusting, rancid stew. Here’s why you should never date—or even pump and dump—an Indian girl.

1. They’re unattractive
Forget about Aishwaryi Rai and every other smoking hot Bollywood actress you’ve ever seen: the average Indian girl has a Coke can physique and bad genes. While not as disgustingly obese as the average American, even fit Desi girls are packing more poundage than any girl should be legally allowed to have. Even if she’s in shape, expect her to balloon up like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man the minute she gets a ring on it. Have you ever seen a skinny Indian woman over the age of 35? Thought not.
Not only that, even decent-looking Indian girls have unappealing bodies. Desis may have big butts, but their asses and breasts are always squishy and soft, like a bowl of Jell-O. Additionally, every single Indian girl I’ve ever known had too much body hair. Combine that with their obesity-prone genetics and you might as well be sleeping with a fat guy.

2. They’re prudes
When I say Indian girls are prudish, I don’t mean they’re hard to get in the sack: God no. I mean they have all sorts of bizarre sexual hangups that make banging them about as fun as thrusting your dick into a vacuum cleaner. Indian girls have sexually conservative attitudes thanks to their parents, and navigating their sea of rationalizations is a prerequisite for getting your rocks off.
The first Indian girl I ever banged, in college, was an “everything-but” virgin, in that she did everything but normal, vaginal intercourse: blowjobs, anal, the whole nine yards. She actually believed that this excused all the slutting around she did. Another Desi I met not long after refused to go down on me, saying it was “gross”… even as she bragged about how much she loved it when guys went down on her. These selfish attitudes are reinforced by the spoiled, daddy’s little girl mentalities that Indian girls have.

3. They’re self-loathing
Membdiscussions by whining about how they can’t get white girls because of their brown skin. Indian girls possess the same exact inferiority complex. Every Indian girl I’ve ever known secretly loathed her ethnic heritage, wanted to be white, and fetishized white men to a degree that was downright creepy.
What separates Indian girls from other Asian girls, who wear their lust for white men on their sleeves, is their obsession with their native culture. Indian girls raised in the U.S. will never shut up about the glories of India, a nation where poor people shit on the streets and the government has to force people to use toilets. Meanwhile, these same loud-and-proud Indian girls date white men and complain about Indian men being “misogynistic” and “controllingers of the Roosh V Forum are well aware of Indian Race Trolls, self-loathing Indian men who hijack .”

4. They’re feminists
For some reason, Indian girls in the U.S. are unusually susceptible to feminist and social justice warrior brain rot. Despite their wealthy, cushy upbringings, Indian girls almost always become ardent feminists, swallowing the cultural Marxist program whole. SJWs like Beejoli Shah, who invent stories about being raped, are representative of the average Indian girl and the noxious ideological soup she bathes in.
Indian girls justify their misandry by claiming that Indian culture is “sexist” and “patriarchal,” but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Indian families are matriarchal, with mothers dominating their husbands and children. In particular, Indian mothers control their sons with guilt trips and shame, which is why so many of them become sackless weaklings and Indian Race Trolls. Indian girls growing up in America are some of the most privileged people on Earth.

5. They’re mentally ill
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but Indian girls are almost always off their rockers. When you combine SJW ideology, racial self-loathing, and bizarre attitudes towards sex, you end up with a psycho. Dating an Indian girl will be a constant roller coaster of fights, drama and frustration, with your only reward being getting to nail a hirsute chick with a pudding pop ass.
The absolute worst types of Indian girls are the ones adopted by white couples, fairly common in upper-middle class America. The most insane girl I ever banged was an Indian with white parents: she was a borderline who tried to provoke me into hitting her because she felt I was “neglecting” her. While she didn’t mindfuck me in the way that BPD girls usually do to their men, the abusive relationship screwed me up for months after it ended.
The only justifiable reason to pursue a Desi girl is because you want to get your Indian flag. But hanging around them longer than it takes to bust on their faces will end in tragedy for you. When it comes to girls, any ethnicity or race is a better bet than Indians.

I have noticed a similar phenomenon on the right with the meteoric rise of young (barely out of college), attractive women writing books and offering ‘conservative’ commentary on news shows. (i.e., Katie Pavlich, Tomi Lahren and Lauren Southern).

When I went through Yuba City one time, I noticed a lot of turban-wearing Indian Sikhs. Really huge and heavy by the standards of Indian people. Lots of guys in the 200-250 lb range and also pretty tall sometimes too, often over 6ft. Some of them sort of look Middle Eastern too and are often a bit lighter than the average Indian.

Here’s a representative picture of what they seem to look like.

Compared to other Indians, they look rougher, fatter, and burlier.

Apparently, there were lots of them in the British Indian army.

I think one of them wrestled in WWE a few years ago.

I remember one time, the WWE announcers asked any women (in the audience) if they wanted to come up on stage and kiss Khali. Of the few women who came up, almost all of them were ridiculously obese.

Good God, that is brilliant. How can I get a share of that? You should shop it around, or if not local to Hollywood perhaps ask Steve for assistance.

It has been said by some sage: Never interfere with your enemy when he is destroying himself.

From our modern day Elaine Robinson’s Vagina Monologues audition announcement:

{note: Cal’s Vagina Monologues is not the same as Eve Ensler’s cis-heterosexist white nonsense, we are intersectional and welcome original monologues}

We should encourage more of this patient and careful aiming in the circular firing squad.

Here’s my analysis.

Both Asians and Indians place a huge emphasis on money-making and status-striving. This is likely a product of thousands of years of extreme malthusian selection. Both races are masters of the malthusian death match.

Their embrace of SJWism is motivated mostly by economic factors. They see there’s a lot of money and power being awarded to the SWJ leadership class – and they want in. Simple as that.

However, by personality, Asians tend to be socially introverted, verbally not that articulate, usually agreeable, and non-opinionated. They’re not the type to protest, annoy the public, or insult people. So they don’t make good SJWs.

Indians seem very verbally fluent and adept at mastering vocabulary. They also are much more outgoing than Asians and enjoy opining a lot more. So they’re more suited for SJWism. Another advantage (as I mentioned above) is that Indian women have difficult, ballbusting personalities. Asians are too agreeable.

They’re a fair number of Indian-Americans on the right too (Governor Jindal, Ramesh Ponnuru of NR, Dinesh D’Souza, Governor Nikki Haley).

All that being said (and that’s a heck of a lot), I have seldom encountered a more strident subpop of SJWs than subcontinent Indian males. No sooner does their overloaded 747 from Delhi set down at ORD or JFK than they start in with the “kill all the white Christian males” thing that we already get 24/7. Good thing there’s only a billion more on the way, right? We need someone like Donald Trump for president, I’m telling you.

Lots of Indians seem very talented at gaudy self-promotion too.

For example, here’s this Indian kid who goes by the name of “Shawn Valentino.” He claims to be a pickup artist. He’s been very successful at promoting himself on tv and even selling a pickup advice book. I’ve seen him on tv (dating shows, Tyra Banks, Dr. Phil, etc) quite a few times.

Do you know what’s especially impressive? Despite having no discernible ability to charm women, he still manages to get himself airtime. It takes a certain shrewdness to do that.

Watch from 3:40 to 7:00. In particular, watch the black girl’s reaction at about 4:17.

I can’t imagine an Asian person doing that.

She’s hot in one photo but in the others she’s putting out a vague Jackie Coakley vibe which is a tad unnerving. Maybe she’s Jackie with a bit more talent and savvy. Though Jackie did fool a few hundred million people.

Now what about the skin tone fluctuations? Cream lightener, seasonal exposure, or photoshop? Only her hairdresser knows for sure..

In conclusion, Indians/Pakis are verbally strong, a bit obnoxious, and highly adept at self-promotion and grifting. That makes them a good fit for careers as SJWs and politicians.

I work in Corporate America. “Diversity” is a scam designed to shelter upper class white men from financial and sexual competition. An upper class / upper management white dude introduces “diversity” to his organization in order to demonstrate his commitment to SJW-ism. The non-white male patrons reward said dude by never, ever criticizing a single thing he does, and by ratting out the individual contributors or first-level managers who say anything. Non-white male patrons will never seriously challenge an upper class white guy, who gives them prizes and gifts, for power in an organization.

Meanwhile, the introduction of protected persons introduces enormous tension in the organization at the individual contributor position. Moderately unacttractive or unattractive beta white males are required to pick up the pace left by non-whites employees, and to do so with a smile. The situation works to the advantage of upper management, by keeping employees distracted and conflicted with one another rather than competing for management positions. Also, the whites required to pick up the pace increasingly have SJW women and sub-cons for management, who will never care about workloads.

And let us not neglect the armchair social justice warriors flooding into Slate, Atlantic, The New Republic and so on? Our universities have graduated a large surplus of leftist/SJW English major types with high verbal skills. Where are they going to work and find jobs? The jobs at SJW news outlets cannot possibly pay very much but the internet is left ringing with their self righteous screeds.

I worked in a job that dealt with federal government hiring and federal contractors and non-profits close to The Swamp. You can not imagine the glut of young upper-middle/upper-class, self-assured liberal females with straight-A poli-sci and area studies degrees from Georgetown U. School of Foreign Service, GWU, Tufts Fletcher School, Johns Hopkins School of Adv. In’tl Studies, et al., with extensive foreign travel, study abroad, internships, etc., who all are expecting to get into the federal government or some contractor working in geopolitical busybody work to save the world. My work has also covered IC work and so I can tell you first hand that this type has throughly infected State Dept. and CIA and is the reason Trump really has to shut down CIA and move those intelligence operations to DoD.

Consider also that the subcontinentals we get are selected from the Brahmin type castes–priest-king-scholar-scribes. I suspect that selects for/emphasizes verbal fluency. Indians as the new Jews–if there’s an intellectual movement, it’s going to need articulate spokesmen, and you’ll find Nikki Haleys and Kamala HArrises well out of proportion to their demographic numbers.

A healthy society must first be honest with its ailments. When there is cancer, it has to be diagnosed as cancer. PC is cancer. It never stops, it never rests. It just grows and grows.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

This is hilarious. Steve please never stop noticing things.

Is he really tall or is she really short?

Again, South Asia is a HUGE region with a great deal of genetic diversity

Indeed, but we are dealing with a guy walking around a US college campus. My first impression was that he was some kind of White guy.

I’m sure if I was walking around Mumbai Bombay I would draw the opposite conclusion, and figure a swarthy European was a local.

“For long periods the High seem to be securely in power…They are then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High. Presently a new Middle group splits off from one of the other groups, or from both of them, and the struggle begins over again. ” – Emmanuel Goldstein

July 22nd, 2014: The farmland around Yuba City in Northern California produces almost the entire crop of the country’s canned peaches, and two-thirds of its walnuts, almonds, pistachios and plums.
It’s also home to a large and deeply-rooted Punjabi American community. But farmers there, like those across the state, are facing severe challenges due to the ongoing drought. [See full story below – Ed]

Jul 06, 2014 : YUBA CITY, Calif. — Didar Singh Bains, the legendary “peach king of California,” remains optimistic even as a severe California drought threatens to wipe out the $58 million agricultural business that his family has built up over seven generations. (what a lie, they are including farms in India too!)

The National Weather Service June 19 declared all of California to be under severe drought conditions. The California Department of Water Resources — citing one of the hottest winters in history and greatly-reduced snow-pack levels and reservoirs — announced May 6 that it would only deliver five percent of the water it would distribute in a normal year.

The Model Minorities are at it again.

She’s a slender part(?)-East Asian with dyed blonde-grey hair and Joan Crawford-sized socially constructed eyebrows.

Epic. I’m appropriating “socially constructed eyebrows” for future use. The check is in the mail.

I particularly like how she posts numerous pictures of herself snuggling with her tall, square-jawed fraternity bro boyfriend, just like an Ole Miss sorority sister …

Coming from a family full of Ole Miss sorority sisters, that one made me laugh. They spend a lot of time mastering that perfect BF hug angle.

A friend sent me a video of one of these SJW models speaking at an enviro group conference. She was perfect: cascading blond hair, tan, riot-girl outfit that didn’t have a speck of dirt, one shoulder tattoo. She went into one of those intersectionality/kitchen sink/Subterranean Homesick Blues/state of the world poems this class writes, intoning in precise boarding school diction. She made a nod to her “Viking heritage”- now that’s interesting. She gets to jet set around and speak and conferences as her gig, kind of like the half-Nordic teen indigenous activist who looks like he’s all set to be a brother in the struggle for the United Colors of Benneton.

If your tastes run cruncher, check out this SJW music duo -lots of posing here.

Put the 1994 comedy “PCU” on your Netflix queue. You’ll thank me later.

Somewhat amusingly, when in India I was told I “don’t look European”, and probably look Arab or Mexican, though I could also be from the subcontinent. If I was dating an obviously Indian-looking girl, people looking at a picture of us would probably think I’m Indian, too, and it would be a reasonable assumption statistically speaking.

It’s pretty interesting what factors we take into account when trying to guess somebody’s ethnicity.

“How We Live Now”?

Why are you referring to me? I am WE.

Back in The Sixties, it was an open secret that the reason why most guys got into what used to be known as “The Movement” was because, face it, it was a great way to meet babes and get laid.

It’s more something that one can see facially, where I might guess. Half Asians are usually identifiable as such. But in places like Hong Kong, there has been mixing over 6 generations or so. Phenotypically you see more European features than in Shenzhen across the border, when riding public transport. Still overwhelmingly Chinese but you do see some features that are likely echoes of ancestors.

I never thought to include height with the analysis.

I’d never heard of this creature so I investigated. The excerpts from Webpages in the list of results indicated she was “Canadian-American” and her photograph indicated she was Asian so I smelt a rat. Sure enough, she’s an Iraqi (ethnically Armenian).

Please let’s all stop entertaining these lunatics’ pretended nationalities and ethnicities just as we don’t entertain their pretended sexes.

The “Texan boy” with the clock was not. The “Floridian man” who murdered the homosexuals in Orlando was not.

And so on. Calling these people Texan, Floridian, French, etc. should be met with just as much outcry in the media as that crazy white lady (Dolezel?) who pretended to be black was met with. But it never is.

So we pretend Salma Hayek, a relatively fair, attractive, and buxom Lebanese lady is representative of swarthy, ugly, pudgy mestizos in Mexico.

We pretend murderous Somalis, Arabs, etc. are British, American, and French.

On and on it goes. You don’t get to dictate your own identity. Sure, you can take up surfing or learn to play a piano, study chemistry rather than philosophy. But those are behaviours. If I say I am a tall, blonde Dutchman with piercing blue eyes and washboard-abs, I’ll still be a 5’10” American with brown hair, green eyes, and an unremarkable body. Period. If I described myself as the Dutchman I’d be pitied, ridiculed, reviled, or some combination thereof. At best people would think I had a zany sense of humour.

We must stop humouring the pretenders and play-actors. You wanna be something you aren’t? Fine, call over some friends to play Dungeons & Dragons. You can be an elven knight. When the game is over, though, you have to go back to being you; no one at the office is going to treat you like an elf come Monday morning.

while 1.5% of the population may be South Asian, they are closer to 3% of the youth population and 5% of the college students in America are South Asian. Most South Asians live in 3 states, California, New York and New Jersey. These states are more likely to produce SJWs.

I was in college just a few years ago and I’d say South Asian SJWs outnumbered East Asian SJWs like 3 to 1, and the South Asian ones were a little more extreme, especially the girls.

I’m guessing that the white, SWPL style virtue signalling and rebelliousness against society fits better with the South Asian mindset/phenotype, but it’s just a theory.

That’s why God created Bushwick, so these people have a place to live.

Hey, pal. Around here, we notice patterns & generalities.

If you want to call people names for using heuristics, go to SJW land.

You’re really reaching with this. With India, with its history of English colonial rule, White guys being the apex alphas well above the sadistic local caste system or whatever bullshit, it’s a pretty safe bet that guy has White ancestry. Quit SJWing up the blog. You sound like that Asian guy whining at Steve Harvey

A healthy Western diet plays a large role in height.

In India, families that have just entered the middle class its common to see children that are bigger, more muscular, and 6 inches taller than their parents. I see same phenomenon among immigrants to the USA.

the 1980s many people observed the same in Japan. The children were much taller than their parents.

Deep set mythological thinking and hero-worship in Indian and Pakistani culture must correlate with a level of self-deception that lends itself to great salesmanship abilities.

and the South Asian ones were a little more extreme, especially the girls.

My experience is that they have far more aggressive personalities than East Asians.

“A look at her LinkedIn page shows she has high-level skills in mathematics, computer programming, and robotics.”

Really? How so? I’m frankly skeptical of that claim.

Yes, that’s quite true. In Japan, you could see a marked difference in height between the generation born during and immediately after WWII, and subsequent generations. I’m sure there are plenty of Indians who could top 6 feet.

(In the case of ‘Michael Moore’ of course they appear to have given up trying.)

Michael Moore has finally revealed his true identity: a fat ugly old lesbian.

Tiger daughters had better watch their backs:

A Northwestern University freshman who recently came out as transgender tried to join a sorority this month, yearning for deeper friendships on campus.

The case is unusual because the student is a transgender man, born with a female body but identifying as male, and already beginning to make that transition. Eighteen-year-old Adam Davies said he was drawn to the tenets of Greek life — philanthropy, bonding and leadership — but that with his changing body he might not feel comfortable living in a fraternity.

So he sought out the sisterhood of a sorority instead.

It’d be great if a bunch of testosterone-laden go-getters in dresses took over SJWism from the cute coeds.

He thinks even sororities accepting of transgender recruits identifying as women would balk at including anyone who identifies as a man.

See? They’re practically asking for it.

Whups, forgot the link:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-northwestern-transgender-sorority-rush-met-20170121-story.html

According to a large study from the Netherlands, 2nd-generation Indians had a mean height of 68.7 inches. This is about 1.7 inches below the White-American mean, but about 1 inch above the Asian-American mean.

A healthy society must first be honest with its ailments. When there is cancer, it has to be diagnosed as cancer. PC is cancer. It never stops, it never rests. It just grows and grows.

Exactly. Everything we said about the slippery slope proved true. Its an endless growing cancer of their degenerate signaling to encompass ever larger numbers of freaks and would-be freaks seeking to be special.

This has to be stopped.

Actually, they tend to be underrepresented among the college-age youth population. Roughly 1.2%. The reason is because the huge surge in H1bs is diluting the youth share and also the elderly share, while inflating the middle-aged share.

Asians are more concentrated in blue states than Indians. They don’t display the same embrace of SJW culture.

Chicanx mediocrity strikes again?

The boyfriend’s last names is “Barnes.”

Does that sound Indian?

He’s likely a white guy, but with some non-white ancestry (perhaps Mexican).

I wonder what the alternative is. A society where hot babes and rich guys openly justify their success by the fact that they’re hot or rich, with no other ideological fig leaf? I guess it would at least be honest.

I’d settle for virtue signalling that actually signaled virtues.

Actually, from what I’ve seen, they tend to be a very self-hating ethnicity. They have a huge inferiority complex about their race. I think they embrace SJW culture out of careerism, not because they really believe it.

As I mentioned above, Indian women love white men and disdain their own men.

SJWs infuriate me. I’m obviously Asian.

I have an innately conservative streak to begin with, but their logic is nonsensical to itself(equality, except for the people we don’t like) and their ideal world is disgusting(everyone is exactly identical, with no place for villains or heroes). A world where SJWs win, at its very best, is a world of the death of all meaning.

As SJWs would remove my sense of identity completely, I can’t exist in their world and I can only exist in complete opposition to them.

“My experience is that they have far more aggressive personalities than East Asians.”

Absolutely. Up to the point it can be scary.

There are additional reasons for that too, though: much like Milo, it gives them significant cover against people who would destroy them simply by the virtue of their sex. In terms of actual privilege and taboos, the “young attractive woman” is the most protected and is the hardest to attack regardless of their position.

Sikhs are huge, especially when they get vitamin D milk and beef in the USA in childhood.

Never underestimate their powers of either self-delusion or self-promotion, Mr. Anon.

I’m guessing this is the first time a casting call for the Vagina Monologues began with the salutation “Hey y’all . . . !”

Picked up on this a few weeks ago, young Indian Americans are really all in on the SJWism. Someone on my Twitter feed suggested it was a result of being excluded from more masculine white pursuits such as football, lacrosse etc. & bullying.

The Jews are going to ultimately regret letting in millions of Asians, of all types. Despite the Jewish male fetish for Chinese girls, they have allowed a huge competitive cohort into the country. More and more you see Chinese/Korean/Indian names popping up in prestige publications like The New Yorker, you see them in the SJW ranks, and of course they are filling up the important schools. And they have no loyalty to Jews or Jewish interests.

My favorite here is Preet Bharara. Harvard, Columbia Law, his way paved by multi-cult fanatical Jews. Give that seat to an Indian, not some flyover white guy! And then he goes and starts investigating Jewish hedge fund managers. That’s the thanks you get!

And my favorite of all: “During his first year in office, Bharara charged 17 managers and employees of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims for defrauding Germany 42.5 million dollars by creating thousands of false benefit applications for people who have not suffered in the Holocaust. The fraud which has been going on for 16 years was related to the 400 million dollars which Germany pays out each year to Holocaust survivors.”

LOLZ!

How is a tiny mestizo man like They supposed to compete with these Tiger Daughters in the SJW business?

Looks like this They wanted to crash the women’s party but couldn’t compete in the attractiveness department, hence the jealous rage. These tranny types embody the worst traits of women and, as some people put it, out-bitch the bitches.

Have to be very careful lumping Asians together. At business school the Indians threw very lively parties that featured a lot of drinking. They talked openly & derisively of the white female students who they viewed as sluts. The Chinese weren’t wallflowers especially if they were confident in their English abilities . The reserved Asians were the Japanese.

“… tall for a sub continental kinda guy. ”

My nextdoor neighbor in SF is a full-on subcontinental Indian, sing-song accent and all. He’s 6’5″ .

“I wonder what the alternative is. A society where hot babes and rich guys openly justify their success by the fact that they’re hot or rich, with no other ideological fig leaf? I guess it would at least be honest.”

This is a serious philosophical question that I have been grappling with.

On the one hand, there is the phrase “hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue”. If people can just parade their worst instincts in the open, without the pretense of having to be virtuous, there is no incentive for improvement or check on their behavior.

But there is a lot to be said for honesty. The victims know better what is coming and have a chance to take counter-measures. There is a reason crooks use dishonesty more often.

So on balance, I would prefer to live in the society more up-front about these things.

Conservatives ignored as just an itch or rash that could be ignored or tolerated, but it turned out to be cancerous and destroyed the souls of the millennial generation.

I’ve always been of two minds when diagnosing this stuff.

On the one hand, I never want to give the kind of borderline cases we see in the streets too much credit. These people are just social misfits who do this stuff to get a buzz, sort of like how many people get a similar “rush” from attending a football game or rock concert. It just so happens these people get their kicks being “outraged” by stuff and throwing things at police cars.

But on the other hand, when I survey the signage of many of the people at this past weekend’s “women’s march,” or see how even docile conservative speakers are barred from college campuses, or consider how you could not walk down the street in Portland, OR, or Chicago, or Berkeley, CA wearing a red MAGA hat and not be physically assaulted, and then consider that 90% of our “mainstream media” is perfectly OK with this and in fact encourages it, I concur regarding the soul-destroying, cancerous, damage this toxic ideology has wrought.

I’m going to over-generalize and be a little bit cruel, but it’s no accident this past weekend’s “counter-inauguration” was a “women’s” event. Sure, it has something to do with the fact that it was a woman who lost the election. And yes, there’s stuff like Trump’s “P grabbing” comment. But I think there’s more to it. The younger women were on board because they are more susceptible to PC brainwashing — and so much of it nowadays is of the “You go girl!” variety which at once empowers them and excuses every failure in a way a masculine football coach or drill instructor or old-fashioned physics professor would never do. The older gals are just bitter because, deep down, they want an alpha male like Trump but are left with Alan Alda back at home.

An absolutely fascinating read on life and mores in India, (at least as it was in the 1920s), is ‘Mother India’ by Katherine Mayo, which is available for free, online.
Suffice to say any notion of ‘sex equality’ is completely at variance with countless millennia of life as it was lived in India. To say the very least.

Agreed. The anti-meritocratic aspects of “diversity” are a feature, not a bug.

That’s because Indian/Paki men have a strong fetish for white females, but can’t get them. A lot of them are virgins into their late 20s and early 30s, until they get their arranged marriage from back home. If you were surrounded by hordes of attractive white women and couldn’t get laid, you’d be angry too.

Lots of online forums get trolled by Indian/Paki men who loudly vent their sexual frustrations at the top of their lungs. It’s sad, but it’s also funny.

Chinese men do alright in dating once they drop their shyness. The problem is that it’s hard for them to do that. A lot of them just want to stay in mostly-Asian cliques and date Asian women. It’s frightening to venture out.

Identity Politics is indeed a Social ”
Cancer.” It only multiplies through endless subdivision…until it finally kills it’s Host.

Ask Milbank about Israel, and watch the concern for social justice disappear.

Inter generational height differences can be pretty stark. A Viet friend of mine in college was 5’2 if she was an inch but she could have picked up her much shorter mother and thrown the woman over her shoulder like a child.

Hello Steve

Can we please distinguish this fine young SJW as a Bengal Tiger Daughter?

As opposed to a Sumatran or South China Tiger Daughter

It helps to keep my small little bad white mind from the fog.

They’re a fair number of Indian-Americans on the right too (Governor Jindal, Ramesh Ponnuru of NR, Dinesh D’Souza, Governor Nikki Haley).

Are there though? These might be notable for their rarity. Note that Haley and Jindal were reared in the deep South (South Carolina and Louisiana, respectively) and Ponnuru in Kansas. Haley and Jindal changed their names to be more American sounding and both converted to Christianity. Ponnnuru was raised a Christian and became a Catholic later in life. D’Souza is a separate case, being an immigrant himself from a Catholic Goan family – he’s atypical both for an Indian and for an immigrant the U.S. from India.

I suppose the question is whether Indian immigrants are most apt to adapt to the culture and politics of where they land in the U.S. owing to their status-consciousness and need to climb socially and economically. In other words, would their politics in the U.S. be less Democratic if they immigrated in larger numbers to the South and Plains rather than the Northeast and far West?

Another interesting wrinkle is that in my experience where there is a mix of Indian and Pakistani immigrants in the U.S., the two groups tend to polarize politically. In my area, Pakistanis are patrons of the Democrats (probably because they apologize for Islam more than Republicans) and so the Indians coalesce around the Republicans. But the relationship seems to be a carryover from their home nations – they seem to understand the relationship as transactional rather than ideological. They donate money and later extract favors. I have no idea whether the Indians actually vote for Republicans above the Mayor/Township Supervisor level and therefore buck the national trends and averages.

Some of the most strident social media worry-postings I have seen are from Indian women I went to b-school with:
“Can’t sleep, so scared right now. Stayed up all night talking about moving to Canada…” etc
Yeah, right
But before the worry posts I enjoyed their “Dear America” posts… I loved hearing these high-caste visitors tell me what America means, just loved it.
They are elite or close to elite in their home land, then come here and play the diversity game really well…

It’s almost like the leaders of the “left” want people to rally around everything but class consciousness.

We can always count on the Manosphere to express (somewhat) valid sociological insights in the most degenerate possible idiom.

Steve, the SJW job market got a lot tougher last November 9, when a job in Washington became a non-option.

What do you know… Stereotyping and judging a book by its cover works perfectly once again.

That’s because Indian/Paki men have a strong fetish for white females, but can’t get them. A lot of them are virgins into their late 20s and early 30s, until they get their arranged marriage from back home. If you were surrounded by hordes of attractive white women and couldn’t get laid, you’d be angry too.

My sense is that the arranged marriages are often an indentured servitude scheme for Indian/Paki men with daughters. They get the boy over here on a fiance visa and he has to work tireless hours in the convenience store of gas station for little pay. He gets married to the boss’s daughter and eventually gets his own convenience store or gas station with help (i.e., an undocumented usurious loan for franchise fees and down money on the acquisition loan) from father-in-law. At some point he is naturalized and he can pave the way for dear old mom and dad via the magic of chain migration. If he has daughters he can replicate the process.

Often and increasingly the daughters don’t want to go along with the scheme because they don’t buy into the clan loyalty – having been exposed to modern American atomized/individualistic notions of ideal romantic love as the business solely of the individual.

What I do find interesting is that Indians and Pakistanis both buy heavily into status-consciousness but in a strange way. I mean multiple generations of married adults living in a McMansion with multiple luxury cars in the driveway – they get that driving a big Merc is a class marker, but that being a married adult living with your parents is generally an indication of the opposite.

Sikhs tend to be big, broad dudes. There was something of a South Asian clique in my high school and, even un-turbaned, the Singhs were easily discernible from the narrower, more spindly Bengalis.

That’s the reason Sikhs don’t really get bullied, despite the over-the-top headgear. They’re also overrepresented in the American military, fwiw.

Kinda like how in the ’90s, “I believe Anita” was thought to be a good way to get points with chicks.

Fat lot of good it did me.

Not that I’m bitter.

Semi OT:

Trump needs to unleash the DoJ Civil Rights division on Silicon Valley. It would be a perfect way to needle an enemy, deflect charges of racism and tie the media in a knot.

iSteve, we need another piece on whether the Hotties are taking over the Shoah business….

,
In many ways, the children of Indian and East-Asian immigrants are the new Jews. They seem to work harder in school than younger American Jews, who have gotten accustomed to be privileged. It would make sense that Indian and East-Asian millennials would also want to profit from the SJW racket, which American Jews have been doing since the 1960s.

Yeah I’m not sure about the “can’t get them” part. Several of them got their fair share of their boasting is to be believed.

“an anti-cis-heterosexist-white version of Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues”

Is there any other kind of Vagina Monologues?

Hard to imagine a true tiger daughter wanting or being allowed to go into a field with no money and no prestige. It’s all stem or law whether they want it or not.

What does SJW mean?? Shouldn’t we define terms before using them heavily?

I’ve noticed that phenomenon for years. The truth is that virtually none of the women on the right save Ann Coulter really stand out intellectually. But nerdy conservative guys are very vulnerable to the temptation to White Knight or “fanboy” conservative females like the ones you mention (and I can easily list another half dozen off the top of my head).

The same follows when we get a token minority star like Milo or Ben Carson (remember Andrew Sullivan and Herman Cain?). We often give them a pass on actually establishing their cred through hard work, like a Thomas Sowell, and by doing so, we end up doing them no favors.

I’ve always felt that Indian men did better with white women than your average East Asian, especially if the UK is to be believed. In all frankness, I think that your average Chinese is much more “alien” than they are. While I knew of some Indian customs from coworkers, it never seemed to be as encompassing as a life guide as thoughts about Confucianism, etc, were and they don’t seem to have the same type of clannishness or internal obsession with stability.

The number of times someone Chinese has said to me about “We’re Chinese, so we do things this way…” is beyond count, so we clearly have strong internal stereotypes. There’s a clear sense of “We work harder, we aren’t as politically correct, we still have our own language and life is hard on us, so we will struggle more,” and heaven knows how often I was shamed for not saving enough.

Indians seem to fit in better, they have fragmented their cliques already along caste lines, so they reassociate in new society with much more ease. As an example, I’ve known of far more Indian vice presidents and executives in my American companies than East Asian vice presidents(none!) – but I don’t know of any Indians that invite each other to dinner just because of a shared race, while when I was in the US, I was pretty much cordial both on and off work with a number of other Chinese.

The result of that is that we always seem to have jobs and always can help each other, but we never seem to hit the highest levels. We just keep to a upper middle level, but for everyone does much better than average.

We used to have ‘noblesse oblige’.

It’s kind of sad to note the ones that didn’t quite make the cut, like Katie Kieffer. Pro-tip: If their site includes a photo gallery, they’re probably not banking strictly on their sterling intellect.

I just hope they don’t hit any CIA liaisons.

The Sikhs I know are tall as well but my only Anglo-Indian friend was short. Five five maybe. His boys were tall though.

I like that idea but I like my phones to work. I’ve seen what adding diversity has done to police, fire, etc. No need to ruin my cell phone and computer as well.

How about Trump abolish the DOJ’s enforcement of quotas? Recognize that we are as diverse as we should be (probably more so) and just quit trying to find the last fraction of possible (never actual) discrimination.

Steve, the SJW job market got a lot tougher last November 9, when a job in Washington became a non-option.

I wonder if we’ll see a commensurate decline in enrollment at schools and departments with the name “studies” (esp., international studies, area studies, etc.). As Rabbi Daniel Lapin says about this, any major or department with the word studies in it is most likely worthless (my paraphrase), (e.g., women’s studies, Chicano studies, African-American studies,…).

of their boasting is to be believed.

It isn’t. They’re lying. I used to live in an area full of IT/software guys. Even with their money and massive presence on online dating sites, they’re nearly 100% incel. You never see them with women at any club or bar. I think a lot of them are waiting for arranged marriages from back home. I can say that Indian/Paki men are easily the least sexually desired men in America. Well below even Asians.

You might occasionally see a non-Indian woman with an Indian/Paki guy, but only if the guy is affluent and spends big. Even then, it’s hard. Even Indian women don’t want Indian men.

If you scroll up this topic (go to post 47), you’ll see a video of an Indian pickup artist named “Shawn Valentino.” He claims to have had hundreds of beautiful lovers and even wrote a book about it. When he was invited on tv and asked to interact with large group of women (in a dating show), he struck out hard. The guy was a total joke and seemed like he’d never had a romantic conversation with a woman at any point in his life. I think he’s a good example of Indians – all talk, no show.

Which is why I made that point about Indians/Pakis being shameless self-promoters and grifters. They’re good at bullshitting, but you can’t trust a word they say. Such people make excellent SJWs and politicians.

In the IT industry, they’re known for “overcomitting” to projects. Which means that they oversell and underdeliver. I’d trust their stories about sexual escapades about as much as I’d trust them in business. Which is to say – not at all.

This does seem to be very much an Asian thing. I have a few lefty Asians in my Facebook news feed and this mixed messaging — “let my complain about the sexist patriarchy while posting lots of pictures flaunting my hot looks (if they’re women) or my hot white girlfriend (if they’re men)” — is something they do.

It’s like they know all the notes, but don’t know the music.

Several references to filling in slots at the Vagina Monologues.
Frat boy sabotage?

There is definitely a north-south gradient in height in Asia, not just India

Any idea why this is? Cold adaptation?

It seems odd to me to attribute the Korea/Japan height difference to a north-south gradient given they are at a similar latitude. Am I missing something? Is the gradient that steep?

P.S. Glad to see you commenting again.

The woman looks like a fairly typical high caste Indian girl, and her BF looks like a high caste Indian as well. I’m not sure why they feel the need to embrace SJW values.

I still don’t think that Pablo Gomez was motivated by sexual resentment, or by the fact that he was overshadowed by these good looking gals. However, the fact that his charge sheet includes an allegation of B&E robbery of a third woman (possibly another activist) is an interesting additional wrinkle.

My other big takeaway from the Indian gal is, wow, it’s amazing what gallons of makeup, hair product, and professional teeth whitening will do.

Somehow I don’t remember the feminists of the 70’s so eager to compete for sexual partners of the supposed enemy sex.

Now what about the skin tone fluctuations? Cream lightener, seasonal exposure, or photoshop? Only her hairdresser knows for sure..

Photo editing.

These days photo editing techniques have become extremely sophisticated. You can change your skin color, use filtering to give yourself sharper features, photo shop in muscles, fade out blemishes, etc. It’s very common for people to use these techniques in their pictures. If you spend a lot of time on Facebook and Instagram, you’d think America was full of supermodels with toned physiques, ripped abs, and absurdly aesthetic faces.

Especially when a person’s appearance changes significantly from picture to picture, you can be 100% sure they’re using sophisticated photo editing. That girl (I can guarantee you) photo edited that first picture massively. I’d be shocked if she looked anything like that in real life.

I actually think that one reason people love social media so much is that it allows them to produce an idealized image of themselves. They can take pictures all day, modify those pictures in various editing programs, and then post their pics for the world to see. Then they get “likes” and “comments.” It’s a pretty nice form of validation.

You may not be able to be a model in real life, but you can at least play one on Instagram/Facebook. If reality is no fun, create a virtual world that makes you happy.

Does this sort of characterize Russia? The people are not driven by ideology or principle, so society is paternalistic, fatalistic, and corrupt, with the peasants gladly following and genuinely admiring the Big Man of the day. Perhaps there is a departure in eastern Christianity from western Christian values of individual self-worth.

Indeed. East and South Asian immigrants to Western lands tend to be highly competent and will thus be found excelling in various contexts, from SJW rabble rousing to delivering detailed Orthodox homilies at my in-laws’ Catholic church.

What is your ancestry? Northern Chinese?

Do immigrants assimilate to the political norms of the elite whites they happen to live near?

Someone should look at the voting patterns of urban vs. rural Hispanics. Do the latter veer rightward? They do in California. Hispanic Central Valley and parts of the Inland Empire don’t unilaterally vote Democrat. They all voted down gay marriage just a decade ago.

To what extent is the Asian and Hispanic tendency to vote and signal left-of-center simply a function of their living in urban areas already run by left-of-center whites? The fact that our two most prominent right-ish Indian politicians grew up in the Heartland seems suggestive of a trend worth exploring.

Sub-continental caste frictions trigger paranoia, status anxiety and promote constant vigilance.

So perhaps no surprise?

OT

Ultra-PC editor Suzanne Goldberg is trying her best to trash National Geographic (see January’s Transgender edition – whatever happened to the Continental Climate and the oxbow lake?). I missed the introduction of one Julia Ioffe in December, who’ll be giving us interesting takes on Russian geography that could come straight out of The Atlantic or National Review.

There’s an amusing plotline in the 70s series Upstairs, Downstairs where Elizabeth, the monied and beautiful daughter of the Edwardian family, slums it for a while amongst Bloomsbury type bohemians and suffragettes. One of the suffragettes becomes resentful of the fact that Elizabeth gets so much attention when smashing window panes and protesting because of how she looks.

Like so much else from the series, I suspect it was taken from real life.

Maybe “They” just wanted to have sex with open minded girls who he had got close to through activism, and couldn’t take the predictable rejection. Let’s not overthink it, they is a man who murdered an attractive young woman.

And to push back, we elected a rich guy whose a super salesman and telegenic self-promoter. Hmmm….

These days, you either choose to be a big loser or a lesser loser. So the US right managed to be the lesser loser this time. Hooray!

So we have seen a preemptive strike on part of the High by coopting the Low to bleed the Middle?

I know some Russians. I love how she carefully avoided the fact that many Russians support Putin specifically for those “traditional social morals,” which they associate with safety for better or worse. Some Russians do seem to have an odd obsession with danger and believe the US is much more dangerous than it actually is.

I’ll love to see AK’s comments on this.

That’s why God created Bushwick, so these people have a place to live.

Bushwick being the up and coming hipster neighborhood (NYC) now that prices have gotten too high in parts of Brooklyn previously “settled” by white hipsters. With Blacks and Hispanics exiting and hipsters entering.

Elves can’t be Paladins!!!!!

I agree with the rest of your post, however.

Add Katherine Timpf to the top of that list.

Placet.

dear sirs,
i’m an electronics hobbyist and I know subcontinentals primarily from reading programming and EE forums.. one thing that is striking is that they’re very sloppy writers.. even the smart ones.. & they come across as slow due to this habit of writeing multiple dots at the ends of sentences.. i was as of yet unable to find the reason why they do it..

Often and increasingly the daughters don’t want to go along with the scheme because they don’t buy into the clan loyalty

In Merry England they’re occasionally taken to the Lake District and so on, and murdered/disposed of by their own Family for this sort of treachery, although it’s usually undertaken back in the Old Country, on clan turf, for obvious reasons. “Kitchen fires” account for some.
Simple chattel goods, strictly for barter, not fungible in regard to other races.

Many of the Indian guys think it’s all about race, and then actually try, when picking up women, to look like a black guy—black guy clothing, keep hair short to hide it’s straightness, darken up their complexion, etc. They figure they can’t pass for white so they’ll try black.

But that just makes it worse, since blacks actually don’t get laid by non-blacks all that much, the media just portrays that they do.

Indian guys also fail when they try to buy women’s affections via designer clothes and cars and the like.

Again, a confident attitude and conforming to the culture work best. An Indian guy wearing western clothes (but not overtly flashy) and smiling and laid back with confidence will do fine. If East Asian guys can pick up white girls (and they do) despite having one of the worst stereotypes about them (i.e. small genitalia), then Indian guys can do the same.

Off Topic:

a rejoinder to the “Bible says we must have open borders” line, for those of us who care about such things:

Well, they do often offer a lot of non-Left guys some sexual validation for their beliefs. When 90% of the Hollywood women are pushing lefty beliefs, it can be depressing and disheartening for a guy to have his non-Lefty beliefs; by having them, he might be sexually shut out. Hot women espousing non-lefty beliefs are going to keep him from changing his politics, because he feels validated.

Ideologically speaking, androgynous rights is a better fit with traditional blank slate leftism than trans rights. Trans people want the right to switch genders and become more like feminine women and masculine men. In contrast, a lot of androgynous people want society to radically change so that ugly androgynous people have equal social status with masculine men and women.

My gut feeling is that at least 30 percent of SJWs aren’t even leftists. They are just single issue fanatics who are progressive when it comes to their pet issue.

“What I do find interesting is that Indians and Pakistanis both buy heavily into status-consciousness but in a strange way. I mean multiple generations of married adults living in a McMansion with multiple luxury cars in the driveway – they get that driving a big Merc is a class marker, but that being a married adult living with your parents is generally an indication of the opposite.”

You associate Pakistanis with mcmansions and luxury cars? In Great Britain every Pakistani and their mama is living off welfare sucking on the government teet.

Matt Forney had some bad luck. I’ve had two Desi girlfriends and they were both great–for the short term: a super smart Tamil brahmin and a hot Bengali kshatriya. The Bengali is still the sexiest woman I have ever known. They both married endogamously.

This is a good point.

There is also a lot of backwash into state and local politics. Here in NYC, there were more than a few Prog pols and staffers picking out drapes in DC. Now they have to compete with the president-eject’s people for jobs, who are coming home unemployed with the big O on their CVs.

SJWs can work in public schools. Many high schools have ethnic studies classes. At least one high school in San Francisco has a race relation class. SJWs have worked tirelessly to end the “school to prison pipeline”, so now misbehaving kids can’t be suspended and kids are allowed to talk on their cell phones during class. New York City is actively recruiting “non-white male” teachers without fear of reprisal from the government.

SJWs are also demanding that classrooms and entire schools be racially and economically balanced to reflect the demographics of the school district. The kids aren’t actually learning anything, but that is not the social justice warrior’s problem. If a child cannot meet a standard, the SJW demands that the standard be lowered.

Do these people inevitably have the ah-ha moment when they realize all their tilting at the windmills of human nature were wasted, the potentially most curious and valuable time of their lives spent studying self-reverential gibberish? I know those who get jobs paddling in the Stream of Gibberish have to act like they are true believers, at least until they retire, but don’t the majority finally get it?

East Asia is also a pretty big place with huge regional differences. As stated before, young Korean men are taller than young Japanese men. On average, men in Northern China are taller than the average Brit. And Chinese men are only going to get taller with access to better nutrition that comes with increased wealth.

I remember my friends living in a dorm-like 6-man, 6-bedroom apartment and dealing with street crime when they moved to Bushwick circa 2007 because it was more affordable than a comparable place in Williamsburg. They were the vanguard of the SWPL army, I suppose.

In a word, no. Judging from my wife’s Facebook feed there is never a moment of an introspection, never a thought about the concordance between the ideology espoused on the signs at the protests and the real world or lack thereof, never a thought in their pretty little heads. Can you imagine carrying a sign at a women’s rights protest depicting a woman in an American flag hijab if you had an ounce of introspection?

Why would it take more than one generation?

I’m mildly surprised that more Indian men don’t try their chances with upscale black women, the sort who often lament that scarcity of decent black men.

I remember an Indian building the opposition dossier against Hillary for Trump. I’ve worked for a right-wing organization and found specific steps which disrupt and dismantle leftish organizations, and am pleased to see Project Veritas utilize much of the same.

Every now and then, we People of Color decide that there are worse evils to fight than being ovened by the Right. That won’t happen until later anyway.

You see, cognitive dissonance is something experienced much more by the Right than the Left. The liberal left seems to have abandoned the notion that they need to be consistent, just that they need to yell really loudly.

This is why the alt-right found that the correct weapons were not logic but memes. Welcome to the mud, boys. Its the new low we all get to fight in.

Were they hostile toward White identity?

Dunno. Nearly all the SJW types I see, particularly the leadership, are frankly, unpleasant to look at.

Seriously, would anyone mistake Tim Wise (i.e. Uncle Tim) for an Alpha Male?

I think you’re confusing some of the celebs (such as Ashley Judd) who batten onto the movement in order to further(?) their careers with the leading spokescreatures themselves.

I’ll concede there are exceptions, but your Indian restaurant hostess isn’t that persuasive an example…

You just described my next door neighbors to a T, except they are from Bangladesh.

“That’s some catch, that Catch-22”

Eastern Orthodox Christianity tends to put a heavier emphasis on both asceticism and hierarchy than even the Catholic West. That does translate into autocracy and fatalism, but I can’t see how it would encourage social climbing on the basis of looks or wealth.

The most untrustworthy business dealings I ever had were with Indians.

“this habit of writeing multiple dots at the ends of sentences.. ”
Rules are for squares man…dig?…

I wonder what the alternative is. A society where hot babes and rich guys openly justify their success by the fact that they’re hot or rich, with no other ideological fig leaf? I guess it would at least be honest.

I think we used to call that the American Way.

What sort of reputation for trustworthiness do subcons have among the Chinese?

Shouldn’t you read the site more than once before commenting?

I am not surprised. With Indians it is always about “What can I get out of you using whatever means I can” rather than “How can we strike a mutually beneficial deal.” I say this as an Indian myself. The other thing about Indian techies in the US is that they are crashing bores.

That first picture gives new meaning to the saying ” Catch a tiger by the tail “. Yeah those 70’s pants are nice on her – Wonder if her place has macrame and straw covered wine bottles ?

I don’t think identity politics or identity culture is necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, I see it as a good thing because it preserves a sense of heritage and culture. I don’t mind Italian-Americans remembering their own history of immigration and finding their place in America. Martin Scorsese’s interview movie with his parents is delightful.

The thing is there is REAL identity and bogus identity. Being Italian-American or Polish-American or Jewish-American is a real identity based on history and lineage.

Also, such identities are well-rounded. Italians remember their history of being oppressed but also remember their history of conquering and oppressing others. Poles know they were champions of Europe one time(and if they had played their cards right, they could have been the central power in Europe, esp as German peoples were so divided), and they know they were later victims. So, there is well-rounded-ness. They won some, they lost some, etc.

But current PC politics is all about victimhood and only victimhood.

The Indian march through the boardrooms of Western corporations is due three factors.

1) Near native command of English, something very rare among Chinese even Singaporeans whose English is the best of the lot yet still mediocre.

2) A more extroverted attitude. E.g. I deserve this promotion, screw that other guy.

3) Wholesale ethnic nepotism. A Chinese will tipoff another Chinese to a position that isn’t being publically advertised, but generally aren’t in positions to make hiring decisions. An Indian, once ensconced in management, will actively purge his company of non-ethnic Indians and start hiring ethnic Indians beginning with his own relatives.

It’s a winning strategy for individual Indians, however it isn’t for their society as a whole because the Indian cultural stratagem as whole is tends to cannibalize itself. They suffer under delusion that because they speak English, they are as competent as the English. This simply isn’t true. Basically the way their society is organized, the ratio of “fake it till you make it” bullshitters to actual competent individuals is low. This doesn’t matter as long as they are not in India because there are more people to take advantage of, but when most other people around you are operating using the same parasitic firmware, it tends to collapse into a giant pile of mediocrity. Hence all the Indian MBA’s in Western business C-suites, yet zero Indian companies that are actually capable of competing with global companies in their own fields.

I read that 90% of the hotel reservations made in advance for the recent inauguration were cancelled on a certain Wednesday in November.

Knights: An elf can also become a knight in the service of a monarch. The elf can do so upon swearing fealty, with no alteration to the basic elven character class. Elven knights prefer elven monarchs, but otherwise may swear fealty to a human monarch, although the latter is rare.

” Catch ” not “Grab ” . Man , Trump is seriously in my head LOL

This reminds me of a post Steve Sailer wrote more than a decade ago and a point I have made on this blog:

https://www.unz.com/isteve/one-point-plan-for-racial-goodwill/

Most Asian Tiger families don’t live in the inner city near blacks, Hispanics, and other violent minorities. They live in the white suburbs. An Asian Tiger cub is far more likely to be bullied and abused by white kids than by black kids. The cub won’t deal with the black thug who will beat the crap out of him or her for “giving a funny look.” The cub will deal with a white punk who will spit on him. The cub also won’t deal with apathetic black teachers who will say some fussy “Why don’t you just shut up?” The cub will instead deal with apathetic white teachers who will protect the white bully by saying “Just ignore them…”
The cub will constantly be stressed out because the parents will force the cub to work harder than the other children and participate in more extracurricular activities. The cub will have more restrictions against fighting back against the bullies because his/her parents will be far stricter. The cub will also probably have less opportunities to avoid the bullies because the parents will assign the cub constant nannies and day care.
I believe that the childhood experiences of the leftist Jews who assisted in the Civil Rights movement were similar. You would think that Asians would have a great deal of hostilities to blacks with all the crime blacks have committed, but this article proves otherwise. Many of the new leftists and SJW may be Asians.

An Indian, once ensconced in management, will actively purge his company of non-ethnic Indians and start hiring ethnic Indians beginning with his own relatives.

Are they not worried about their hires not making a good impression, though?

I got a very good job from a fellow ethnic Chinese who plugged me in, but he basically stalked the hell out of me, and essentially told me that I couldn’t even fail the interview because otherwise it would be his reputation at stake. Whether we admit it or not, there’s mianzi involved.

And yes, I’ve noticed the distinct lack of Indian coordination. In Huawei, not too long ago, there was this entire conversation of how our leadership was working each other for death “for country and race” and they shamed a man who wanted to leave because he said that he had heart disease and didn’t see his wife enough. Apparently the response from the board is “we’re all dying so that our country might be great, so what.”

Never hear that attitude from India at all.

Were they hostile toward White identity?

No, at least not to my white identity, IYKWIMAITYD.

But seriously this was in the mid-’90s and we were all very nonpolitical.

Of course, the Tamil chick’s parents had a shit-fit and quickly married her off, but that’s a different issue.

jill, Good, you can be WE and I’ll be YOU, if that’s ok with THEM.

No, that’s a gross over-statement. What business are you in? I’m good friends with a hotel architect and he has nothing but good things to say about (the majority of) the Indians who constitute a large percentage of hotel owners and builders.

Maybe there’s a class/personality distinction between IT & Finance Indians. All I know is that many of my Indian b-school classmates were gregarious & a blast to hang out with & I saw a few of them pull white girls with own eyes. One is married to a white woman.

Now the IT consultant guys at my work do come across as more of the stereotypical wallflower types.

I went with a friend to see PCU in the theater when it first came out. My friend was something of an SJW before it was A Thing. She was also two years older and had a car, so when she was angry and decided to storm out, I had no choice but to go along. I still need to see the rest of that movie…

(Note: I’m a cis-heterosexual female, or whatever the cool kids call it these days, since it might sound like I’m describing a date.)

(2) is not strange; it is the standard Bill Clinton “I did not have sex with that woman” defense.

Many Christians, especially evangelicals, believe in this (and act similarly). They wear a “Purity ring” or “The Silver Ring Thing”.

dear sir:
the typographic phenomenon that I mean seems to be unique to Indians. btw, another is using the royal we.
we tried asking on a differnt site but the people there denied that this was even a thing. please advise.

India currently leads the world in outdoor defecation, which is a serious health issue in that it pollutes the water supply.

But another approach in poor, fertile areas is composting toilets. The FT highlighted a charity several years ago that promoted these in Bangladesh. The tech is pretty simple: a barrel under a toilet seat, with a barrel of soil and one of wood ash nearby. After defecating, you toss a scoop of soil and one of ash over it. When the barrel fills up, you seal it, and store it for 6 months. After that, you’ve got rich, fertilized soil to grow vegetables in.

The challenge for the charity was educating locals.

The preferred, My daughter in Bucks County, Pa. thought they were building a hotel nearby because the house was a McMansion on steroids and the owners are Indians.

The Chinese sewer system is nothing to write home about. Flooding still common, from what I have read.

The difference is the Indians, in my experience, hire other Indians due to enormous inferiority complexes, not due to some supposed superiority of their fellow race.

No. They aren’t.

Without having experienced it first hand, many individuals can’t believe just how shameless and sociopathic some individuals and organizations are. Google up Nisha Padmanabhan and realize that she is now working in Silicon Valley. Ethnic nepotism functions akin government bureaucracy, no matter how incompetent their fellow employees are, they protect their own, because their social power depends on their asabiyah.

It’s not so much lack of coordination that is the problem I see with Indian society, but rather that they have too many free riders. I have known several extremely competent Indians, but they were sadly outnumbered by some real useless turds whose primary aptitude was in lying. The key to convincingly deceive others is to first deceive the self, and their delusions of “adequacy” while beneficial to their individual selves was extremely destructive to the organization as a whole. Empty suits exist everywhere, but when they are maybe 50% of your work force as opposed to 10%, very little actually gets accomplished.

we tried asking on a differnt site but the people there denied that this was even a thing. please advise.

will do the needful

Well, as an Indian newspaper editoral said – the difference is that for better or worse, the Chinese slums actually have running water and electricity. The average “Chinese slum” is magnitudes better than the Indian equivalent. As for the specific issues, inadequate drainage for flooding still does happen in outlying cities but its been improved with every incident, and the most major problems such as backflow of sewage(eww) were finished in 2010 or so. I knew some of the people involved in that. Remarkably educated people with a lack of any sense of smell.

The writer questioned why they couldn’t do that, and got roundly attacked by his or her readers for being “anti-democracy.”

It was all very logical, I guess.

Preet Bharara is an absolute gem.

He is one guy that richly deserved a medal compared to all the useless ball throwers/hitters and lowlifes like Oprah that Obama gave medals to.

Preet Bharara has the heart of a champion and King Kong balls of titanium. He’d make a great AG once Sessions retires.

I agree. I think he was probably Trump’s pick as well– even though he’s a Democrat– because Trump likes competence. But obviously when Sessions told Trump he’d like the AG position, Trump had to give it to him for being so loyal from the beginning.

Pretty late to this thread, but just on this point – school loans, the conservatives could learn something from libertarians (of course, vice versa). The reason this loan bubble is out of control and up to about $1,400,000,000,000 right now, with a significant chunk in default, is due to US government backing of these loans.

No loan officer would have gotten away with a loan to most of the people that Steve mentions on an almost daily basis, if this were 1980. He would be fired for taking on risky debt like this. It doesn’t matter now, as the bank wins no matter what. They get the origination fee, and can collect interest or sell the debt right away. Why not loan $120,000 over 4 years to a sicko majoring in transgenderbender studies? It’ s a win-win-win-lose*

What makes anyone on here thing that Oriental is a slur? If you do, I think you’ve got some, just a little bit, of the brainwashing that we see in some of the kooks that we can read about on this site. Oriental means Eastern and all you smart people (I’m not being sarcastic) know that. (It IS funny that the Orient is far west for us here in America, but the term, “Far East” originated in Europe, I imagine). My wife is Oriental, and does not see that term as a slur.

Is the “tiger…” moniker applicable to South Asians? Shouldn’t we come up with something different for them since the tiger thing is for East Asians? After all, Indian parents don’t do this to their kids: https://youtu.be/9QNmdbSDQ3w

At least one South Asian Indian has claimed that she belongs to the “elephant mom” school of parenting. She may have a point. I know a couple of Indian families quite well, and they are more like the stereotypical Jewish mothers of yore. Not that they don’t want their kids to end up in law school or medical school.

Like ‘Tex’ says, that was America (or at least how America was perceived by the relatively sophisticated and hypocritical Brits) circa 1865–1965.
