You know what we’ve been missing? Right! Lately, we just haven’t had enough New York Times op-eds on the theme of How Evil Whites Are from self-promoting Asian women writers. But happy days are here again:
When Asian-Americans Have to Prove We Belong
This isn’t the first time we’ve been treated as a threat.By Jia Lynn Yang, April 10, 2020
Jia Lynn Yang is a deputy national editor at The New York Times and the author of the forthcoming book “One Mighty and Irresistible Tide: The Epic Struggle Over American Immigration, 1924-1965,” from which this essay is adapted.
The coronavirus pandemic has unleashed a torrent of anti-Asian racism in America that shows no signs of abating. Asian-Americans have been spat on in the streets, harassed and insulted. Even children have been attacked as our fellow citizens blame us for a virus that threatens our families no less than any other household.
This is not the first season of darkness for Asian-Americans in this country. Nearly 80 years ago, Japanese-Americans were forced from their homes into barren internment camps.
The most strident voices after Pearl Harbor against Japanese-Americans tended to be from their fellow Asian-Americans, such as the Chinese and, especially, the Filipinos. But who can remember which nations were on which side in World War II?

But will Australian kick them out of the Australian government?

Insulted, you say? Is nothing sacred? Hey, I’ve been spat on and much, much worse on the streets of New York City–as well as attacked in my home and my place of business–for no crime other than being white. And there are vastly more of us with stories like mine than there are of you. Yet you never, ever hear our stories in the mass media. Why would that be?
Funny you should mention. Here’s Tucker last night, regarding Wuhan.
In a 1966 Mission Impossible the Russians are training an elite corps of spies to look, sound and act like typical Americans, to fit in here, mingle widely and await further instructions. What these plants don't know is that just before arrival they're going to be dosed with the plague, to unwittingly spread across the US
The 5 million number I have repeated myself because it came from a credible local Wuhan government source and repeated in newspapers.
It doesn’t appear to be correct however, and it seems suspicious given Wuhan’s population is 11 million. The AEI notes the total of all flights out of Wuhan in the prior 3 weeks had 400,000 people. Trains and cars also move people out of course, but some of those were people simply going through Wuhan or returning home after a short visit. And between poverty and lack of parking, I doubt most Wuhaners have cars.
AEI thinks the better estimate is a little over a million fled Wuhan before the lockdown. That just makes a lot more sense, hard to imagine nearly half a major city’s population leaving in such a short time, even in a mass panic.
I mention this because I love Tucker and don’t like seeing him make a mistake.Replies: @Hypnotoad666

America is anti-Asian, so why is Jia in America paying taxes to support the imperialist US government that aids Zionist tyranny over Palestinians?
The reason why US is anti-Asian is simple. Every nation needs some enemy. Due to PC taboo, Americans can’t say anything about the three most destructive groups: Jews, blacks, homos.
So, they dump all their rage on approved targets like Russia, Iran, and Asia.
But Jia’s ilk betrayed their own people by choosing to live in the Imperialist Metropole of the world.
Why so surprised that the US is the way it is? It was founded om imperialism and genocide. And as if the great land and resources weren’t enough, US had to take over Asian Pacific, destroy Palestine, and in 20 yrs wreck Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and wage new wars or sanctions on Russia and Iran. Hypocrisy and arrogance are baked into the American character.
If Jia chose to live in such an imperialist metrople and write for NYT that supports Zionist tyranny, what utterl lack of self-awareness.

Maybe she found that Japanese-authored game, “Toss the China Baby on the Bayonet” game to be as exciting as the Japanese did. The Japs were great at that, I would surmise, because of lots and lots and lots of practice. Another popular game the Japs excelled at in Nanking was “Rape, Burn, Die.”
The object of that game is to catch a Chinese girl, rape her as much as her vagina would permit, set her on fire, and then watch her die.
The game was so… Samurai.
Of course, Japanese folk resist bragging about it now, owing to Japanese humility, I’m supposing.
But nevertheless, for this Chinese scalawag to take up the side of the folks we literally saved their asses from, takes a certain measure of lowbrow Chinese pluck. I guess the same pluck required to use her substantial incisors to tear into a boiled batwing. That is, it must be a Chinese thing, us white people will never understand.

To assume that gratitude has any meaningful value for most people in this world is your first mistake. Most people will forget the things you’ve done for them, up to and including saving their lives, the moment they decide their interests conflict even slightly with yours, especially if they are of another race or ethnicity, but sometimes even if they are your own flesh and blood.
And that’s before getting into the cultures, such as Islam, who deliberately use their enemy’s kindness as a weakness to exploit in order to conquer. Such cultures never felt any gratitude to begin with.
Islamblacks, who deliberately use their enemy’s kindness as a weakness to exploit in order to conquer. Such cultures never felt any gratitude to begin with.Everywhere the same story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_Zealand
At the latest census in 2018, 70.2 percent identified as European, 16.5 percent as Māori, 15.1 percent as Asian, 8.1 percent as Pacific peoples, and 1.2 percent as Middle-Eastern, Latin American, and African (MELAA)
……………..
The European grouping significantly decreased from 80.0 percent of the population in 2001 to 70.2 percent in 2013, and a likely cause of this is due to heightened immigration from Asia.
…………………………
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_New_Zealand
On 26 April 2005, he said: “Māori will be disturbed to know that in 17 years’ time they will be outnumbered by Asians in New Zealand” – an estimate disputed by Statistics New Zealand, the government’s statistics bureau. Peters quickly rebutted that Statistics New Zealand had underestimated the growth-rate of the Asian community in the past.[36]
In April 2008, then deputy New Zealand First Party leader Peter Brown drew widespread attention after voicing similar views and expressing concern at the increase in New Zealand’s ethnic Asian population: “We are going to flood this country with Asian people with no idea what we are going to do with them when they come here.”[37] “The matter is serious. If we continue this open door policy there is real danger we will be inundated with people who have no intention of integrating into our society. The greater the number, the greater the risk. They will form their own mini-societies to the detriment of integration and that will lead to division, friction and resentment.”
As a stopgap measure, admission to our nations has to be severely curtailed, if not completely stopped. None of this is happening, though.
I… hate to point out an obvious flaw, but… the Chinese tend to be hella racist, enough so to make the most committed modern American Klansman blush, and they don’t care who knows it. For a Chinese woman to smear Americans by issuing that asinine charge, while ignoring the racist horror show in China is, like too much of Chinese culture, bizarre.
Yeah, ‘current’ asian American is correct, because you won’t be in America much longer. 🙂
Chinese in China do not trust Chinese food producers, period.
On my first visit to the Philippines about 3 years ago, I toured various islands and cities, What was a great shock was how many monuments to Japanese atrocities I stumbled across, unintentionally and purely by accident.
From the burning alive of 140 PoWs at Puerto Princesa, to the 100,00 dead memorialized in a small part in the Intramuros in Manila, to the forced labor who died digging the underground bunkers at the Japanese Army HQ in Baguio.
Yet the Filipinos seemed to harbor little bitterness to the Japanese.
What the HATE is the current presence and domineering attitude of the Chinese. They’ve bought off the Filipino elites with capital investment and the political class by the usual means. Their drug problem is literally manufactured in China. Shooting street dealers as is current policy is no solution.
Yet there remains enormous goodwill toward America and Americans.
What we need to do is check the Chinese takeover of the archipelago. Better US bases on the west side facing China than Chinese bases on the east coast of the Philippines, facing the US.
Filipinos were hiding in the jungle while my father was flying a Spitfire in the RAF
But is it true? Haven’t seen or heard of any Asian people being harassed, much less being “spat on in the streets”. What I see commonly is Asians spitting in the streets, but that’s another thing.
So? Chinese as Yang should be happy, as many Chinese were enslaved or killed by the Japanese.
Japanese, Chinese (and Koreans) hate each other on account of WWII. Not sure about Filipinos, though. Which side were they on?
Now that Asian women are taking the lead in the Hate Whitey movement (because it benefits them of course…and Asians do whatever is the most beneficial)
Are there any white guys married to Asian women who have realized that their marriage…is exactly the same thing…Asian girls wipe out the white DNA and get your $$$

Genetically, Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese are the same. So non-chinese will be mistaken for Chinese, just like how non-muslim Sikhs were assaulted and killed after 9/11.
And even then, the average Chinese person didn’t cause the virus, just like the average Muslim did not cause 9/11, or the average Saudi.
If Trump were smarter he would say the Chinese communist party virus. China Hawks always distinguish between the Chinese people who need to be liberated from the government.
But Trump is dumb. And that might offend his friend Xi Jinping who he knows personally.
So he went with Chinese virus which results in innocent average Asians getting the backlash and not the CCP who are responsible.
America is a great country.
Back in Asia, virtually all other Asians hate Japan with a passion, because of their Nazi-like behavior during WWII and the fact that (in their view) the Japanese have never quite taken responsibility for their atrocities in the same way as the Germans. This flares up periodically in the form of anti-Japanese boycotts, smashing Japanese businesses, etc. but even when it’s not flaring it’s a continuing undercurrent of seething hatred and bad memories. The Koreans bring up the subject of reparations for the “comfort women” (Korean women allegedly forced into prostitution by the Japanese military) at every opportunity even though they are down to a handful of very elderly survivors and the Japanese have already paid settlements that they thought concluded the matter.
But in the US, Japanese are just fellow Asians and Chinese-Americans and Korean-Americans can use Japanese internment 80 years ago as evidence of current anti-Asian prejudice by Americans and a stick with which to beat whitey. And as Steve says, never mind that American Chinese and Filipinos were among the most enthusiastic endorsers of the idea of interning Japanese enemies at the time.
The other forgotten aspect is that the flip side of American hatred of the Japanese for their dastardly surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and their atrocities in Nanking and elsewhere was that this was accompanied by a great outpouring of love and assistance for our (then non-Communist) brave Chinese allies and Chinese were portrayed very positively in American popular culture at that time. But forget that part, what about the “internment of Asian-Americans”?

The Japanese invaded and colonized Korea twice, once very destructively at the end of the 16th century and then again in the 20th century. It's true that the legacy of the modern conquest is mixed. The Japanese began the industrialization and modernization of Korea. But that doesn't compensate for (1) being subjugated and used by Japan, (2) the second-class status of the large Korean population in Japan, and (3) the humiliation connected to the "comfort women" issue.
It ain't just "little brother" syndrome, and it's been a constant stumbling block for the US attempt to weld Japan and South Korea into an anti-China alliance.
It's true that the PRC's use and promotion of anti-Japanese sentiment is often cynical. When the Japanese PM apologized to Chou en Lai in 1972 for Japanese behavior in China during WW II, Chou supposedly replied something to the effect of "It's OK, your invasion help the CCP to come to power." The environment has certainly changed since then.
But let's be realistic. If there weren't a significant existing basis of anti-Japanese sentiment in China, the government wouldn't be able to amp it up at need. The more powerful China becomes, the more Chinese are inclined to dwell on those who have wronged them (including the West but especially Japan) and see vengeance as a realistic option.Replies: @Bucky

The only ones we have any ill feelings for are the rude Chinese Communists who have brought about a worldwide epidemic through their actions and who have been doing their best to undercut American interests in multiple ways. So naturally there is push back against their aggression. Generally speaking, Americans are nice to people who are nice to us and not so nice to people who try to harm us.

China doesn’t take mass immigration from anywhere else and certainly not of non-Chinese.

I’ve often said that gratitude is something that you read about mostly in books and doesn’t actually exist in real life (or only rarely). In fact, due to cognitive dissonance, people will tend to resent you if you help them. Being dependent on others is uncomfortable for most people so they will reconstruct reality such that they are not the objects of kindness but merely getting was is owed to them, or in fact LESS than they really deserve.
We can only hope they’re treated worse and made to feel unwelcome. Hopefully they’ll leave. They have a country. A really big one. There’s no reason for them to be here.
Surely you already know the answer to this question, dear Miss Marple. You don’t have to do anything but exist. That will be sufficient. No doubt the famous “sumdood” will take up your cause and slice up some Asian on your behalf. Should the Stasi-Polizei – always willing to obey any order from the ADL central command – catch him, his relatives will be there on the Mockingbird Media to tell us that Mr. Sumdood is innocent because his real moniker is Dindu Nuffins.

If Jia chose to live in such an imperialist metrople and write for NYT that supports Zionist tyranny, what utterl lack of self-awareness.Replies: @Jack D, @Alfa158, @syonredux, @Moses
I think you’re missing an important point. People like Jia do not consider themselves to be merely living in an imperialist metropole. They are here with the intent of colonizing the imperialist metropole, replacing the imperialist inhabitants, and terraforming it into a society that fits them and works for their benefit. They aren’t (((alone))) in this enterprise and they are almost certainly going to succeed. You are like an Iroquois asking himself why all these White people would want to sail all the way across the Great Water to live in a continent that is wilderness and populated with Indians.

This is where East Asians are different from Jews who have a solar mindset. No matter how small in number, poor, weak, and starting out in a new place, they see themselves as the center of the universe around whom all of humanity must revolve. For the Chinese, the concept of Middle Kingdom is connected to the land. They are the Big Boss in China. Outside China, they look to serve the New Big Boss. In contrast, whether in Tel Aviv, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Moscow, or etc. Jews feel humanity must revolve around and serve them.
In Southeast Asia, Chinese maintain their Chinese-ness because they have little respect for the natives who are lower in IQ and achievement. But look at Chinese(and other East Asians) in the West, and they suck up to the power in a servile way. It may true that Chinese immigrants still have some sense of link to the old country, but the young ones almost completely lose their identity in no time. Same with Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, and etc. Or look at pathetic Hong Kong. Chinese people who've grown so used to being part of the great Western Empire that they wave the US flag during protests.
Consider some of the prominent East Asian-American thinkers. Francis Fukuyama is of Japanese ancestry but a total toady to globalism and Zionism. While Jews in US do everything to serve Israel's power, survival, and interests, Fukuyama as emissary of his Jewish Masters goes to Japan and other Asian countries and urges mass immigration, globo-homo, and deracination. Japan has frighteningly low birth rates. A Japanese-American who cares about survival of Japan might look to Israel and Hungary as examples of sound and effective natal policy, but Fukuyama just serves his masters and calls for More Diversity for Japan, something Jews would NEVER do with Israel. Or take Amy Chua. She is married to a Jew and raising Jewish kids whose main loyalty is to Zion.
The only three people with a kind of solar-centric view of themselves are now Jews, Hindus, and blacks. Jews because of their Covenant tradition. Hindus because of their own kind of ethno-religion. (Christianity is universalist, therefore undermines identity. Confucianism is ancestral and loses its meaning and pull in the modern world of nuclear families and/or atomized individualism.) And blacks think they be 'badass', so everyone should carry their jockstraps.
Whites used to have a solar-centric view based on Christianity, Reason, and Race. There was a time when Christianity was almost synonymous with white power. But as it spread to non-whites all over, it is no longer particularly white. Reason also used to be the basis of white pride and power as the West pioneered rationalism and science in contrast to the Rest that was mired in customs, mysticism, and superstition. But as Reason(and even democracy) spread all over the world, it is no longer particularly white either. There was the element of Race, the view that whites are special as a people. But as 'racism' became the biggest sin in the West, it is NOT okay to be white.
So now, both whites and East Asians in the West have planetary identities that revolve around those with Solar Will(though Hindus don't count yet in terms of power and prestige). So, in a way, the white dumping on Asians is a clash of planets. Whites, as they revere and serve the Jewish Sun, dare not speak against Jewish Power even though much of the white plight can be traced to Jewish Power. But you don't blame god or the sun. Suppose this virus came out of Israel. Would Trump and his followers be calling it the Jewish, Zionist, or Israeli flu or virus? Of course not. Do 'conservatives' have the guts to refer to HIV as Africa or Homo disease? No. They don't even have the courage and honesty to call Iraq War, Libya War, Syrian War, and etc by their proper name: "Wars for Israel".
So, while criticism of how China handled this disease in the early stage is warranted -- and its possible link to wet markets and lack of food inspection in China -- , the way it's been done is a really a show of cowardice than courage. It's like Trump dumping on Muslims and Mexicans in 2016 while never mentioning that Jewish Power is the #1 force of Open Borders in EU and the US. It's like Trump calling Mexicans 'rapists' when the biggest rapists are blacks. Also, Jewish Power has been derailing his Presidency forever, even getting him impeached, but he is still in Syria and has Soleimani killed. And his minions cheer. And there is Tucker who calls China evil for its ethno-nationalism but in the next breath praises Israel for its national, border, and security policies.
Also, people like Jia don't understand that this is about Power, not right or wrong. After WWII and especially after the end of the C0ld War, the US has gotten used to being the Lone Superpower. Indeed, even more so because Jewish Power now governs the US. Why does this matter? If US hadn't become so obeisant to Jewish Power and Israel, its sense of national interest would be focused on America itself. This was the case with men like Charles Lindbergh and the 'Arabists' who were once influential in US foreign policy. These people(who were both 'left' and 'right') were essentially post-imperialist and believed the US should focus on American issues. Therefore, the US should deal with the world pragmatically to pursue what is best for America. So, America should try to come to terms with any nation to live in peace and to trade. If such people were in power, there would be no need for antagonism with Iran or Russia. Just trade with them and get along. Anglo-Americans who once ruled America has no stake in Russia, Iran, or etc. They just had business interests around the world that could be accommodated through diplomacy.
For such people, a multi-polar world is tolerable AS LONG AS Americans pursue American Interests in America. In contrast, Jews have direct stakes all over the world. They've gained key power in every Western European nation and many Eastern European nations. Especially with the creation of Israel, Jews are very mindful of power balance in North Africa and Middle East. Anglos never regarded Russia as part of their empire. Anglos were sometimes at odds with Russia but never thought to take it over. In contrast, Jews do want to takeover Russia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, France, and etc as globalist elites, which is why they promote globo-homo to use homos in every nation as their well-paid proxies. So, unlike Anglos who wanted to come to terms with and trade with other nations, Jews want to take over and control other nations. If not for Jewish Power in the US, would America be bitterly upset that Russia said NO to globo-homo? Because Jews rule the US and because Jews want it their way in Russia, Poland, Hungary, and MENA, they believe the US must be the lone superpower that isn't challenged by any nation in any part of the world. So, Russia has to be provoked and pressured in Ukraine of all places, a nation that is so close and vital to Russia but has NO rational purpose to the US. In 25 yrs, it will be a 100 yr anniversary of the end of WWII, but incredibly, the US military is still in Japan, South Korea, and encircling China from all sides. (And yet, China is the big bad aggressor.)
It's understandable why people like Jia(and others all over the world) came to the US. Cleaner air, less repression, more individual freedom, and as yet, less corruption than in places in China, India etc. But they need to understand that the US, as vessel of Jewish supremacism, is the #1 force of evil in the world in terms of cultural pollution, neo-imperialism, near-genocidal policies in Middle East, utmost hypocrisy, and total amnesia. That's what they are serving.
As for the NYT and its supposed 'liberal' Jews, they are the worst. On the one hand, Jewish Power has inflamed 'yellow peril' fears in movies, TV shows, and etc. Jewish-controlled Media ran with China-Dragon-Rising stories endlessly. And yet, these same Jews also play the Nice Guy and hug Asians as poor victims and bullies of Big Bad Trump. Jews did the same with Muslims. Hollywood made all these Muslims-are-terrorist movies over decades, but all of a sudden, they were best friends with Muslims against Trump and those 'Islamophobes', all the while pressuring Trump to remain in Syria and wreak more havoc against Arabs who defy Zionist Power.
Anglos handed over their power to Jewish globalists. White Consciousness today is nothing but "how to appease Jews". Whites are surely upset about trends going against them, but one doesn't challenge one's Master. Even when a dog is beaten by its master, its wish is to win his approval. Whites are beaten most by Jews, but as Jews are the Master, whites cannot bark truth to the Master. So, what do whites do? They cozy up to the Master ever more in shows of rage and animus at targets that they believe will please the master. If the master kicks you, go hunt a rabbit and drop it at the master's feet in hope of approval. This is what Trump does. Whipped by Jews from day one, he goes hunting for Iran to win approval from Zionists. Tormented by Jews endlessly, he says troops will remain in Iraq and steal oil. Impeached by Democrats funded by Jews, the dog Trump bags Soleimani. Vilified by Jews, he signs legislation to shut down BDS. In this, he's no different than John McCain. Given what the Jewish media did to him in 2008, you'd think McCain would have grown a pair. But no, to his dying day, he was growling at Russia, Iran, Syria, and Trump to win approval from his Master.
This is America, and this is why people like Jia are stupid to think justice and fairness are possible in a nation where a Christian baker is now being sued for... not baking a Tranny Transition Cake.
Of course, as a 'good liberal' and mental minion of Jewish 'liberals', I'm sure Jia is on the globo-homo bandwagon and screaming 'Bake the Cake Bigot'. Ironically, even as Jia condemns American bigotry, Jia has something in common with Americans: The cowardly unwillingness to name the main culprit of why the US became such an evil force in the world: Jewish supremacist power.

“ The Chinese government allowed 5 million residents to flee the city before they locked it down in January. ”
The 5 million number I have repeated myself because it came from a credible local Wuhan government source and repeated in newspapers.
It doesn’t appear to be correct however, and it seems suspicious given Wuhan’s population is 11 million. The AEI notes the total of all flights out of Wuhan in the prior 3 weeks had 400,000 people. Trains and cars also move people out of course, but some of those were people simply going through Wuhan or returning home after a short visit. And between poverty and lack of parking, I doubt most Wuhaners have cars.
AEI thinks the better estimate is a little over a million fled Wuhan before the lockdown. That just makes a lot more sense, hard to imagine nearly half a major city’s population leaving in such a short time, even in a mass panic.
I mention this because I love Tucker and don’t like seeing him make a mistake.
People want to feel better than someone else, not the lowest rung on the ladder.
The media forbades you from criticizing any group, except one: white people.
Everybody can criticize white people. Everybody is better than white people. Its enforced by the media/academia/human resource policy/legal edicts.
The only way I see out of this situation is targeted media buys by fair-minded groups of all races that will constantly mock and troll anti-white adherents and corporations to scorn.

Right, to the extent that there is a (rare) anti-Asian attack (likewise anti-gay attack, anti-Jewish attack, etc.) it’s usually perpetrated by a Vibrant Member in Good Standing of the Coalition of the Fringes. But the articles never say that and we’re supposed to imagine that it is some deplorable Trumpist MAGA hat wearing cracker yahoo who is beating up repressed minorities. If they have photos of the perp they might (or might not) see fit to show them (I wonder sometimes if this is some sort of rear guard action by the un-Woke) but you could read a hundred of these articles from end to end and not once will they mention the race of the perp, just that minority group X is being attacked because after all America is a horrible bigoted society and this is just one more example of America’s no good horrible bigotedness.
In Brazilian news, this just in:
“The police arrested this Saturday (11) ten Chinese persons who stole 15 thousand tests* for the detection of the coronavirus and approximately 2 million items among masks, gloves, caps, overalls, alcohol gel and thermometers.
(…)
The gang leader, Chinese Zheng Xiao Yun, who presented himself as president of the Associação Xangai no Brasil**, received an arrest order along with 9 other Chinese persons.
(…)”
(*) I suppose they mean test kits.
(**) transl. Shanghai Association in Brazil)
The items were stolen at Cumbica airport. The complete news story from which the above excerpts were translated may be read (in Portuguese) at:
https://noticias.r7.com/sao-paulo/policia-de-sp-prende-10-por-roubo-de-testes-mascaras-e-luvas-11042020

It does if you entertain the Corona Coup D’etat idea.
(The memo from Central Command to Sweden got lost in the mail.)
This reminds me of something but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
They tell you the race of the attacker by not mentioning it. If the attacker were white you can be 100% sure that would not only be in the article, it would be in the headline. You are correct about their intent to mislead.

I get the pussyfooting around mentioning the race of the perpetrators that liberal publications tend to do – not denying that – just saying that this particular article isn’t actually hating on white people. I read it and didn’t feel it had that flavor; it did discuss some collective communal need to be accepted by the white majority (which really was the majority in the 70s/80s), but again it didn’t read like resentment or hatred to me… just matter of fact.
As for the alias… we all have our biases don’t we 🙂 this blog is probably one of the very few ones I read that’s so fundamentally different from where I typically get my news, on numerous fronts, but that’s also precisely why I enjoy it. It’s thought-provoking and exposes me to things, including value-judgments and commentary, that I probably wouldn’t come across otherwise.
As for self projection… I don’t know. I don’t think so in this case, but in many cases, sure one’s biases get in the way. We all want to believes in a world that squares with our underlying belief systems, and often we see what we want to see. But perhaps with practice and exposure and comfort with being uncomfortable, we (I) get a little better at seeing things as they are… even if they aren’t always as we’d like them to be.
I don't know if hatred is always the right word, but I think it is hard to deny articles like that convey a feeling of resentment towards the white majority (otherwise, why not even a token effort towards something like: "relative to most places we do well here, but we should strive to do even better"). And some rather serious tone deafness to how that sounds to the people of a country which has welcomed the author to live among us. As other commenters have mentioned, there is also the rather silly idea of pan-Asian unity (which only happens in a place where combined they form a small minority, as far as I can tell anyway). That gives a clear us and them sense to the article. How can you forgive the Rape of Nanking (against your own Chinese) while treating the WWII internment of Japanese as unforgivable?
On reflection, rather than projection I would just say you are still willing to give authors of articles like that the benefit of the doubt. I have lost my patience in that regard. I guess the question is which of those biases gives the more accurate view of the world.
P.S. And please stick around. We can use more thoughtful comments coming from different perspectives. To me that is what beneficial diversity is really about.Replies: @LoutishAngloQuebecker
My wife’s mother just died, on Easter Sunday, in Europe. No, she did not die of COVID-19. She was an angel in my wife’s life, but we cannot attend the funeral, because of the hysteria that people like Steve are promoting.

Let’s just say that again: Steve, this is getting tiresome.
My wife’s mother just died, on Easter Sunday, in Europe. Her mother was an angel, the most important person in my wife’s life, and the perfect mother-in-law.

We cannot fly and attend her funeral, because of the hysteria YOU, STEVE and others have stoked and falsely promoted. My wife is crying, mourning her angel mother, and we can’t go there. Thanks to people like you.
This is insane. Steve, you might remember, as I do, a kid like you in SoCal in 1968, that “Hong Kong” flu. I had it. We all survived and our nation and the world did not stop.

You have a responsibility for what you write, because you know and I know that decision-makers read it. You bear some responsibility for the crash and destruction and the personal debt and for my wife not being able to attend her beloved mother’s funeral.
You are part of this. You cannot sit there in your closet and pretend any longer that you are somehow apart from things. You are not. Simple logic, combined with Ron’s own numbers just reported in his article here, tell us all that LOTS of people read what you write here.
You bear a responsibility, and you have gotten this one very badly wrong.

Is that line about Michael Barbaro supposed to imply they are in a relationship, married, or what? Strange line. (It turns out that Michael Barbaro is Gay and Jewish and a New York Times’er since 2005. Last word is he has defected from the full-Gay camp is is planning to marry a woman, after years of marriage to a man.)

From a July 2015 feature at the Wash. Post that introduced Jia Lynn Yang there as new deputy national security editor:
So it’s Zach Carter, who in his HuffPost profile pic look passable as a ‘Hapa,’ but in other pics looks not so much.
They’re still together, if Twitter is any indication:
They have a dog.
Jia, OTOH, is hilarious. “In the past, I had a habit of minimizing anti-Asian racism" - sure you did, Jia. Maybe it's true and now she is making up for her past sins of omission.Replies: @Hail
He’s had one male spouse and is now engaged to a woman, so half gay. Also half Jewish, Barbaro’s father is Italian-American.
Ronan Farrow appears to be another half-gay half jewish journalist, but this depends on Woody’s iffy paternity.Replies: @black sea
When her pantry runs low, she’ll use that as an excuse for wokking the dog.
Shameless self-promotion isn’t as quintessentially American as you suggest.
Easy peasey: merely point out to a member of the media that the same blacks attacking orthodox Jews in the street are the people attacking Chinese folks in public, often in broad daylight.
Voila!: by the time they’re through pointing and sputtering their indignation (in print or electronically), you may rest assured you will have Officially Committed a Hate Crime.
There is a very good story on brown people they could have and don’t run .
They are dozens of Diamond Princess now on many ports all over the world. In each boat more than 1000 crew , with around 15% , are quarantined. They evacuate to the hospital those who are very ill.
But acontrary to the passengers, Crews can’t be whiny about it and post messages on the social media, there is not one single journalist on earth that is speaking about them.
Just in Southampton, there are 3 boats from the same company with more than 1000 people in each boat and a 15% infection rate.
This percentage may even be a maximum !!!
So that is a true social or ethnic story of enormous discrimination because the boats are in western countries . It’s only the people who are brown south Asian
OT: This guy says China has landlocked Africa. The Chinese have bought up and control all of Africa’s ports:

First of all, my deepest condolences to you and your wife for your loss. Life behind the Iron Curtain was no piece of cake. Think of the struggles that Americans are suddenly experiencing with getting food, toilet paper, etc. and multiply those by 10 and have them last for 50 years and you’ll have some idea of what they had to endure on a daily basis. Simple things that we take for granted like hot water coming from your faucet might disappear for months on end. Things that people in America would donate to the thrift store or leave at the curb having the status of rare luxuries requiring special connections to obtain. Not to mention the constant, gnawing fear – who is an informer? Will I be arrested for some imaginary ideological crime? My children disqualified from higher education and made into 2nd class citizens because of some offhand remark I make?
I don’t blame you for lashing out in your grief, but Steve is not the one who banned international travel. As he has pointed out, even on domestic routes where travel is still entirely legal, passengers have virtually disappeared of their own accord, no government action needed. Your anger is misplaced.
2nd, as for Steve’s financial arrangements with Ron, they are really none of your business. Donate or don’t as you wish but I don’t have the feeling that Steve is living in luxury. Last I heard he was (or up until recently had been) driving a very old car. He doesn’t regale us with tales of his ski vacations in Switzerland. I just don’t have the feeling he is rolling in dough. I have no idea how much Ron is paying him, but I don’t have the feeling that it would be enough without donations too so that’s probably why he asks. He has had the good taste not to ask in the middle of this crisis when there are people that are hurting even more.
I think all of us are trying to weigh the balance of the value of lives lost in the short term vs the consequences of a lockdown. Clearly, some people would like to set the balance in a different way and the dynamics of modern life means that there has been some overreaction, but it’s a good thing that our society puts a high value on human life. Circling back to your recently departed mother in law, a good way to live your life is to think ” What would Ceaușescu do?” and then do the exact opposite in each case. If he were here today instead of in hell where he richly deserves to be, Ceaușescu would have the planes flying.
Governments have used what should have been a minor "crisis" as a way to gain even more power. Just using the terms "lockdown" and "shelter-in-place" gets them wet down below. Next, they will get to dole out $2 - $10,000,000,000,000 to whomever sucks them off harder with lots of little strings attached. It's a blast, man! That is, if you are a high-level US Feral government Ceausescu-wanna be, or even a Governor of Wyoming, or Mayor of Camden, New Jersey.
Speaking of Ceausescu, he had no regard for human life or the quality of human lives in Romania, but his type is not at all far away from the American officials wanting to be able to shut down this or that part of the private economy at will. Our officials just wish we weren't still armed is all. Ceausescu would have the planes flying, but only for the high-up Commies anyway. That's the way it may go here ...
The reason why US is anti-Asian is simple. Every nation needs some enemy. Due to PC taboo, Americans can't say anything about the three most destructive groups: Jews, blacks, homos.
So, they dump all their rage on approved targets like Russia, Iran, and Asia.
But Jia's ilk betrayed their own people by choosing to live in the Imperialist Metropole of the world.
Why so surprised that the US is the way it is? It was founded om imperialism and genocide. And as if the great land and resources weren't enough, US had to take over Asian Pacific, destroy Palestine, and in 20 yrs wreck Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and wage new wars or sanctions on Russia and Iran. Hypocrisy and arrogance are baked into the American character.
If Jia chose to live in such an imperialist metrople and write for NYT that supports Zionist tyranny, what utterl lack of self-awareness.Replies: @Jack D, @Alfa158, @syonredux, @Moses

I’ve already noted that people on unz.com identify 10 out of ever 5 people whose politics they don’t like as “Jewish” and this seems to be the equivalent.

They tell us that way. For people like ConfirmationBias (that name is so perfect in this sentence, perhaps I have been gulled by a troll? life is complicated now that we have reached the Onion singularity where parody is indistinguishable from reality) all Americans (and I think whites in particular) get the blame.
P.S. I think you left out “and the article would be on the front page.”
To all remaining CoronaPanic-pusher holdouts:
A new Danish study finds total mortality at 0.1% to 0.2% of those who get the virus.
Since no virus ever achieves total, 100% population penetration, if the Danish study is correct this would imply an unchecked pandemic would cause a the total population loss attributable to the Wuhan Coronavirus Pandemic in the 0.05% to 0.1% range. Even this small hit could be softened with sensible measures to protect the elderly and infirm. No crippling ‘shutdowns’ needed.
The anti-CoronaPanic side had been saying this all along, but were shouted down as the viral epidemic mutated into a Mass Hysteria Pandemic. CoronaDissidents like Dr. Ioannidis had been saying this all along, with his and many other voices emerging at cusp of the Big Mistake yelling ‘For God’s sake, Stop!’ The Corona Coup D’Etat faction saw blood, so to speak; they took no prisoners, and burned it all down.
This public-policy disaster, an ultra-hyped-up Apocalypse Virus that turned out to be a bad flu strain, the Corona Big Mistake, the Corona Coup D’Etat, demands answers. Who did this?
.
Also, with more and more data rolling in from independent studies, all corroborating an unchecked-epidemic @ <0.1% virus-attributable-population-loss finding, it's also worth stressing again that the victim profile is strongly skewed towards deathbed patients. With Hamburg's anti-CoronaPanic health authority now classifying half of the dead as deathbed-patients and thus not true coronavirus-caused deaths (breaking the spell of all corona-positive deaths being magic-wanded into corona-caused deaths), and almost all the rest were people with serious pre-existing conditions. A simplified-model demonstration of increased risk of death per year from this minor flu pandemic, by age-and-condition category, shows how insignificant it really was for society, and how bad a mistake the CoronaShutdowns were.
(The numbers used above are for demonstration purposes, a simplified-reality framework in which society is modeled on three groups, the Healthy, the Unhealthy/Very-Aged, and the Terminal Patients; the data that keeps rolling in continues to corroborate those numbers are ballpark-correct.)
If findings of the accumulating studies out of France, Japan, Germany, Iceland, Denmark, and others , as well as the best estimates of independent experts, are correct, it means genuine coronavirus deaths for all except the category Terminal Patients will be comparable to car accident deaths at mid-late 20th century levels. Maybe a little worse than car accident deaths, but not by much.
Given that a very large share of coronavirus-positive deaths were statistically likely to die in 2020 anyway, it is unlikely that 2020 total deaths will increase in any noticeable way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias
From the English translation of that article (emphasis mine): That article is consistent with data estimating the mortality rate for younger people at around 0.2%. Especially when you consider the least healthy of those people are unlikely to be donating blood. See this comment and underlying data:
https://www.unz.com/isteve/san-diego-neighborhood-case-rates/#comment-3816590
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/ In my comment I combine those numbers with US population demographics to get a raw CFR estimate of 1.85% which I then divided by two (for asymptomatic cases) to get an IFR estimate of a bit under 1%.
In fairness, I did a bit more research. In the US the age demographics of blood donors actually skew older.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2017/09/24/loyal-blood-donors-age-industry-out-young-blood/683714001/ But also note the restrictions: The blood pressure limit is quite loose. Below 180/100 with medication allowed.

My condolences to your wife and family, Buzz. I am sorry to hear it.
Seems fake to to me. Just more atrocity propaganda so Chinese can continue to do what they do without any qualms, because they are the oppressed! Straight out of the Jewish textbook, they don’t call them “Jews of the East” for nothing.
No, East Asians have a planetary mindset. Wherever they go, they revolve around and serve what is most powerful and prestigious. So, while Chinese in China may into the China as Middle Kingdom, Chinese outside China could be totally servile to and revolve around whatever happens to be most prestigious and powerful.
This is where East Asians are different from Jews who have a solar mindset. No matter how small in number, poor, weak, and starting out in a new place, they see themselves as the center of the universe around whom all of humanity must revolve. For the Chinese, the concept of Middle Kingdom is connected to the land. They are the Big Boss in China. Outside China, they look to serve the New Big Boss. In contrast, whether in Tel Aviv, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Moscow, or etc. Jews feel humanity must revolve around and serve them.
In Southeast Asia, Chinese maintain their Chinese-ness because they have little respect for the natives who are lower in IQ and achievement. But look at Chinese(and other East Asians) in the West, and they suck up to the power in a servile way. It may true that Chinese immigrants still have some sense of link to the old country, but the young ones almost completely lose their identity in no time. Same with Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, and etc. Or look at pathetic Hong Kong. Chinese people who’ve grown so used to being part of the great Western Empire that they wave the US flag during protests.
Consider some of the prominent East Asian-American thinkers. Francis Fukuyama is of Japanese ancestry but a total toady to globalism and Zionism. While Jews in US do everything to serve Israel’s power, survival, and interests, Fukuyama as emissary of his Jewish Masters goes to Japan and other Asian countries and urges mass immigration, globo-homo, and deracination. Japan has frighteningly low birth rates. A Japanese-American who cares about survival of Japan might look to Israel and Hungary as examples of sound and effective natal policy, but Fukuyama just serves his masters and calls for More Diversity for Japan, something Jews would NEVER do with Israel. Or take Amy Chua. She is married to a Jew and raising Jewish kids whose main loyalty is to Zion.
The only three people with a kind of solar-centric view of themselves are now Jews, Hindus, and blacks. Jews because of their Covenant tradition. Hindus because of their own kind of ethno-religion. (Christianity is universalist, therefore undermines identity. Confucianism is ancestral and loses its meaning and pull in the modern world of nuclear families and/or atomized individualism.) And blacks think they be ‘badass’, so everyone should carry their jockstraps.
Whites used to have a solar-centric view based on Christianity, Reason, and Race. There was a time when Christianity was almost synonymous with white power. But as it spread to non-whites all over, it is no longer particularly white. Reason also used to be the basis of white pride and power as the West pioneered rationalism and science in contrast to the Rest that was mired in customs, mysticism, and superstition. But as Reason(and even democracy) spread all over the world, it is no longer particularly white either. There was the element of Race, the view that whites are special as a people. But as ‘racism’ became the biggest sin in the West, it is NOT okay to be white.
So now, both whites and East Asians in the West have planetary identities that revolve around those with Solar Will(though Hindus don’t count yet in terms of power and prestige). So, in a way, the white dumping on Asians is a clash of planets. Whites, as they revere and serve the Jewish Sun, dare not speak against Jewish Power even though much of the white plight can be traced to Jewish Power. But you don’t blame god or the sun. Suppose this virus came out of Israel. Would Trump and his followers be calling it the Jewish, Zionist, or Israeli flu or virus? Of course not. Do ‘conservatives’ have the guts to refer to HIV as Africa or Homo disease? No. They don’t even have the courage and honesty to call Iraq War, Libya War, Syrian War, and etc by their proper name: “Wars for Israel”.
So, while criticism of how China handled this disease in the early stage is warranted — and its possible link to wet markets and lack of food inspection in China — , the way it’s been done is a really a show of cowardice than courage. It’s like Trump dumping on Muslims and Mexicans in 2016 while never mentioning that Jewish Power is the #1 force of Open Borders in EU and the US. It’s like Trump calling Mexicans ‘rapists’ when the biggest rapists are blacks. Also, Jewish Power has been derailing his Presidency forever, even getting him impeached, but he is still in Syria and has Soleimani killed. And his minions cheer. And there is Tucker who calls China evil for its ethno-nationalism but in the next breath praises Israel for its national, border, and security policies.
Also, people like Jia don’t understand that this is about Power, not right or wrong. After WWII and especially after the end of the C0ld War, the US has gotten used to being the Lone Superpower. Indeed, even more so because Jewish Power now governs the US. Why does this matter? If US hadn’t become so obeisant to Jewish Power and Israel, its sense of national interest would be focused on America itself. This was the case with men like Charles Lindbergh and the ‘Arabists’ who were once influential in US foreign policy. These people(who were both ‘left’ and ‘right’) were essentially post-imperialist and believed the US should focus on American issues. Therefore, the US should deal with the world pragmatically to pursue what is best for America. So, America should try to come to terms with any nation to live in peace and to trade. If such people were in power, there would be no need for antagonism with Iran or Russia. Just trade with them and get along. Anglo-Americans who once ruled America has no stake in Russia, Iran, or etc. They just had business interests around the world that could be accommodated through diplomacy.
For such people, a multi-polar world is tolerable AS LONG AS Americans pursue American Interests in America. In contrast, Jews have direct stakes all over the world. They’ve gained key power in every Western European nation and many Eastern European nations. Especially with the creation of Israel, Jews are very mindful of power balance in North Africa and Middle East. Anglos never regarded Russia as part of their empire. Anglos were sometimes at odds with Russia but never thought to take it over. In contrast, Jews do want to takeover Russia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, France, and etc as globalist elites, which is why they promote globo-homo to use homos in every nation as their well-paid proxies. So, unlike Anglos who wanted to come to terms with and trade with other nations, Jews want to take over and control other nations. If not for Jewish Power in the US, would America be bitterly upset that Russia said NO to globo-homo? Because Jews rule the US and because Jews want it their way in Russia, Poland, Hungary, and MENA, they believe the US must be the lone superpower that isn’t challenged by any nation in any part of the world. So, Russia has to be provoked and pressured in Ukraine of all places, a nation that is so close and vital to Russia but has NO rational purpose to the US. In 25 yrs, it will be a 100 yr anniversary of the end of WWII, but incredibly, the US military is still in Japan, South Korea, and encircling China from all sides. (And yet, China is the big bad aggressor.)
It’s understandable why people like Jia(and others all over the world) came to the US. Cleaner air, less repression, more individual freedom, and as yet, less corruption than in places in China, India etc. But they need to understand that the US, as vessel of Jewish supremacism, is the #1 force of evil in the world in terms of cultural pollution, neo-imperialism, near-genocidal policies in Middle East, utmost hypocrisy, and total amnesia. That’s what they are serving.
As for the NYT and its supposed ‘liberal’ Jews, they are the worst. On the one hand, Jewish Power has inflamed ‘yellow peril’ fears in movies, TV shows, and etc. Jewish-controlled Media ran with China-Dragon-Rising stories endlessly. And yet, these same Jews also play the Nice Guy and hug Asians as poor victims and bullies of Big Bad Trump. Jews did the same with Muslims. Hollywood made all these Muslims-are-terrorist movies over decades, but all of a sudden, they were best friends with Muslims against Trump and those ‘Islamophobes’, all the while pressuring Trump to remain in Syria and wreak more havoc against Arabs who defy Zionist Power.
Anglos handed over their power to Jewish globalists. White Consciousness today is nothing but “how to appease Jews”. Whites are surely upset about trends going against them, but one doesn’t challenge one’s Master. Even when a dog is beaten by its master, its wish is to win his approval. Whites are beaten most by Jews, but as Jews are the Master, whites cannot bark truth to the Master. So, what do whites do? They cozy up to the Master ever more in shows of rage and animus at targets that they believe will please the master. If the master kicks you, go hunt a rabbit and drop it at the master’s feet in hope of approval. This is what Trump does. Whipped by Jews from day one, he goes hunting for Iran to win approval from Zionists. Tormented by Jews endlessly, he says troops will remain in Iraq and steal oil. Impeached by Democrats funded by Jews, the dog Trump bags Soleimani. Vilified by Jews, he signs legislation to shut down BDS. In this, he’s no different than John McCain. Given what the Jewish media did to him in 2008, you’d think McCain would have grown a pair. But no, to his dying day, he was growling at Russia, Iran, Syria, and Trump to win approval from his Master.
This is America, and this is why people like Jia are stupid to think justice and fairness are possible in a nation where a Christian baker is now being sued for… not baking a Tranny Transition Cake.
Of course, as a ‘good liberal’ and mental minion of Jewish ‘liberals’, I’m sure Jia is on the globo-homo bandwagon and screaming ‘Bake the Cake Bigot’. Ironically, even as Jia condemns American bigotry, Jia has something in common with Americans: The cowardly unwillingness to name the main culprit of why the US became such an evil force in the world: Jewish supremacist power.

.Also, with more and more data rolling in from independent studies, all corroborating an unchecked-epidemic @ <0.1% virus-attributable-population-loss finding, it's also worth stressing again that the victim profile is strongly skewed towards deathbed patients. With Hamburg's anti-CoronaPanic health authority now classifying half of the dead as deathbed-patients and thus not true coronavirus-caused deaths (breaking the spell of all corona-positive deaths being magic-wanded into corona-caused deaths), and almost all the rest were people with serious pre-existing conditions. A simplified-model demonstration of increased risk of death per year from this minor flu pandemic, by age-and-condition category, shows how insignificant it really was for society, and how bad a mistake the CoronaShutdowns were. (The numbers used above are for demonstration purposes, a simplified-reality framework in which society is modeled on three groups, the Healthy, the Unhealthy/Very-Aged, and the Terminal Patients; the data that keeps rolling in continues to corroborate those numbers are ballpark-correct.)If findings of the accumulating studies out of France, Japan, Germany, Iceland, Denmark, and others , as well as the best estimates of independent experts, are correct, it means genuine coronavirus deaths for all except the category Terminal Patients will be comparable to car accident deaths at mid-late 20th century levels. Maybe a little worse than car accident deaths, but not by much. Given that a very large share of coronavirus-positive deaths were statistically likely to die in 2020 anyway, it is unlikely that 2020 total deaths will increase in any noticeable way.Replies: @res

In my comment I combine those numbers with US population demographics to get a raw CFR estimate of 1.85% which I then divided by two (for asymptomatic cases) to get an IFR estimate of a bit under 1%.
In fairness, I did a bit more research. In the US the age demographics of blood donors actually skew older.

Blacks vote D. Majority black cities are run by looney Marxist D’s who are all in on the Coronascam and they fudge the numbers more. Making white males employed in the private sector shelter in place and not go to their jobs benefits them. Majority white cities are less sympathetic to the whole enterprise and are more reluctant to fudge the numbers.

At a glance it struck me as looking Central Asian, or a proxy for some kind of Central Asian (resulting in a comparable phenotype, as many part-E.Asian, part-Europeans have).

The shnozz alone disqualifies him from any E. Asian blood. I’ve never seen a Hapa with a snozz like that. He also looks like a person of pallor. OTOH, if you told me that he was a Mischling, I would buy that. Carter could walk into any Reform synagogue in America and no one would give him a 2nd glance. In fact other than the light colored eyes (which some of my relatives have but I don’t) he bears a passing resemblance to a younger me.
Central Asians might have a blend of Caucasian and Asian genes but they don’t look like modern European/Asian crosses nor do they look like Carter.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Given your obvious serious engagement with that comment I was overly hard on you personally in my earlier response. Sorry. I am more calibrated to dealing with trolls who say things like that and sometimes I misjudge.
I don’t know if hatred is always the right word, but I think it is hard to deny articles like that convey a feeling of resentment towards the white majority (otherwise, why not even a token effort towards something like: “relative to most places we do well here, but we should strive to do even better”). And some rather serious tone deafness to how that sounds to the people of a country which has welcomed the author to live among us. As other commenters have mentioned, there is also the rather silly idea of pan-Asian unity (which only happens in a place where combined they form a small minority, as far as I can tell anyway). That gives a clear us and them sense to the article. How can you forgive the Rape of Nanking (against your own Chinese) while treating the WWII internment of Japanese as unforgivable?
On reflection, rather than projection I would just say you are still willing to give authors of articles like that the benefit of the doubt. I have lost my patience in that regard. I guess the question is which of those biases gives the more accurate view of the world.
P.S. And please stick around. We can use more thoughtful comments coming from different perspectives. To me that is what beneficial diversity is really about.
Basically, multiculturalism is a failure, it's against God's will and will lead to conflict. But I do think that what we perceive as their "hate" is just a normal in-group strategy that everybody has (and whites had this too up until around the 1960s).

Oh, and Japanese weren’t the only enemy ethnic group interned during WW2. About 10k Germans were interned as well. But for some reason no one can remember them. Doesn’t help the racism and victim narrative maybe.
Nisei were famous for fighting in the US Army in Europe. Less well known is thousands of American Nisei fought for Imperial Japan.
Weird.
Wow. The Oppression Olympics continue: just when it looked like the Africans were getting the upper hand, the “Asians” come back with a strong response.
Frankly there’s no reason any East Asian should be living in the West (other than invasion). They have their own countries, and they’re nice/decent. Japanese, South Koreans, Taiwanese, etc. immigrants are quite rare in the USA, just like German, British, and French immigrants are too.
Almost all Chinese are completely loyal to the CCP and should be viewed as hostile invaders. The first thing that must be done is cancelling Chinese student visas.
Here’s what you do if anyone on twitter calls you a racist for using the phrase “Chinese Corona Virus”: Call them a Chinese bot or point out that it’s morning in Wuhan or just tweet back something in Chinese.
The 5 million number I have repeated myself because it came from a credible local Wuhan government source and repeated in newspapers.
It doesn’t appear to be correct however, and it seems suspicious given Wuhan’s population is 11 million. The AEI notes the total of all flights out of Wuhan in the prior 3 weeks had 400,000 people. Trains and cars also move people out of course, but some of those were people simply going through Wuhan or returning home after a short visit. And between poverty and lack of parking, I doubt most Wuhaners have cars.
AEI thinks the better estimate is a little over a million fled Wuhan before the lockdown. That just makes a lot more sense, hard to imagine nearly half a major city’s population leaving in such a short time, even in a mass panic.
I mention this because I love Tucker and don’t like seeing him make a mistake.Replies: @Hypnotoad666
Perhaps the 5 million number was meant to include travelers who visited or passed through Wuhan while the virus was raging. Not sure. But I agree, 40% of the permanent residents leaving a city the size of NYC hardly seems plausible.
Of course it is. The author complains about past restrictive immigration policies that favored whites, and how Asians had to ‘prove’ themselves to whites to gain full citizenship.
Ironically, her cited ‘American’ hero Mike Masaoka proved himself to be an anti-American Trojan Horse insurgent—he was not satisfied with Asian-Americans being accepted as an American citizens; he also ungratefully sought to import more Asians. Jia Lynn Yang:

I agree actually. I have several good friends who are POC. We discuss issues like this. They all say that the POCs don’t “hate” whites. They don’t like us and think we’re weak and naive.

Steve has been drifting away from Team Shutdown the last two weeks. He’s questioned particular aspects of the shutdown and wants to start reopening things based on hard data.
My view was at the time, with the info we had in early March, shutdowns were the right move.
Now thanks to a lot more info, I switched over to Team Reopen. Steve basically has too, and much of the right is moving there as well.

The reason why US is anti-Asian is simple. Every nation needs some enemy. Due to PC taboo, Americans can't say anything about the three most destructive groups: Jews, blacks, homos.
So, they dump all their rage on approved targets like Russia, Iran, and Asia.

Why so surprised that the US is the way it is? It was founded om imperialism and genocide. And as if the great land and resources weren't enough, US had to take over Asian Pacific, destroy Palestine, and in 20 yrs wreck Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and wage new wars or sanctions on Russia and Iran.

Did some Easter data crunching. Looked at Coronavirus deaths per million population against latitude.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Within the US, statewide correlations with death rate and latitude not terribly strong.
But the national correlations between latitude of the capital and death rate per million is ***very strong***.
I made a plot of latitudes of country capitals on the x-axis and coronavirus deaths per million on the y-axis. The correlation is incredibly strong.
I limited myself to nations with significant testing — about 140 countries.
There are zero nations whose capital is south of 30 north latitude with more than 20 deaths per million people. There are 25 nations whose capital is north of 30 north latitude with more than 20 deaths per million. The United States right now is at 65 deaths per million. South of the equator, zero nations exceed 7 deaths per million.
Ten countries exceed 100 deaths from Coronavirus per million and every single one of them has a capital north of 40 latitude.
DC is at 39 latitude and New York is at 41 latitude. There is an incredibly strong climate correlation with the coronavirus when you have a global amount of variation, but the United States just doesn’t give enough variation to properly show this. Generally the continental US is basically between 30 and 45 latitude, so the correlations of climate are not nearly as strong as what one sees globally.
This suggests relief in the summer and a likely resurgence in the fall.

One of the problems with going by CFR in the case of Covid is that until the pandemic has burned thru the entire population and herd immunity is achieved, the fact that fatalities differ so greatly based on age (and race correlated comorbidities) means that mortality of Wuhan Virus varies greatly by locations depending on where the epidemic starts - in a nursing home, very high.

More update from New York. This is a better website than they had before:
https://covid19tracker.health.ny.gov/views/NYS-COVID19-Tracker/NYSDOHCOVID-19Tracker-Fatalities?%3Aembed=yes&%3Atoolbar=no&%3Atabs=n
Hispanics now top the New York City fatality rate at 34% of the total, and blacks are 28% of the total. These two groups alone account for 62% of all the deaths. 88% of all the deaths had at least 1 co-morbidity.
Deaths in other counties of the New York state, outside of New York City and its suburbs, are mostly in the single digits.
You’re gonna set off a smoke detector with all that hand-rubbing.
Except the Japanese atrocities were in the course of exemplary massacres practiced around the world since pretty much the beginning of time. The message to all who might aid, hide or feed the rebels (aka the ancien regime now on the run, or fighting to overturn the conquest) “resist the new ruling power and die”. Whereas the German message to Jews was “we’re just sending you to work camps, while you atone for your racial sins”, while they systematically gassed or starved every last Jew in their territory (minus a handful of mischlings) to death. I’d say there’s a huge difference.
During WWII, the Chinese lost in absolute terms, when you include every last person killed during the war, including deaths from famine and Chinese scorched earth tactics*, as well as pumped-up (by Communist and Nationalist alike) numbers for propaganda purposes, 20m people. That’s fewer than the number that died during Chinese dynastic transitions or significant civil wars. It was 5% of the prewar Chinese population of 400m, and an order of magnitude less, %-wise of the 50% of Jews on the planet killed by the Germans during the Holocaust. In fact, in % terms, Chinese losses were during the Sino-Japanese War were probably in the lowest 25% of all major Chinese conflicts. Whereas in absolute and % terms, Jewish losses to the Germans exceeded the cataclysmic numbers suffered during the Roman persecutions, when they were in open insurrection against Roman rule.

Thanks. I also think the internment was excessive. But things like that happen during wartime. I guess my point of view boils down to: If that’s the worst they have to say about us–I can live with that. How about the self righteous people coming from different cultures hold their own ancestors to the same standard and see what they find?

With all due respect, that is probably the biggest whopper I have ever seen on this blog. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the creators and initial producers of Captain America, both served honorably in the U.S. military in WW II.

Not because of their Nazi-like behavior, which was anything but Nazi-like. The Japanese slaughtered rebels and attempted to turn non-rebels into Japanese, using pacification tactics familiar to the Greeks and Romans from antiquity. The reason they hate the Japanese is because the Japanese lost. It’s exactly the same reason that the Vietnamese hate the Chinese. If the Japanese had won, the Japan-haters in the Far East would all be Japanese today, and the Japanese empire in East Asia would incorporate exactly the varying hues of people who currently live there, with perhaps a bigger admixture from the darker hues in metropolitan Japan, and the lighter hues outside of metropolitan Japan. Whereas if the Germans had won, the entire Jewish and Slavic populations of the countries they conquered would be extinct, having been exterminated in their entirety.
So, no harm to the hue, no foul.

That’s basically my take. Mass internment wasn’t necessary, but it really doesn’t measure up to the genuine atrocities that were committed during WW2: the mass bombings of cities by the US and UK (Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, etc), the wholesale slaughter of European Jewry by the Nazis, the Manila Massacre, the Rape of Nanking, the Katyn Massacre, etc.
Think about this: Minoru Yamasaki, then an architect in his early thirties, spent the war designing bunkers for the US Army. He doesn't seem like one they saw as a threat.
All it would take would be a real instance of spying by a Japanese, along with a number of suspected spyings, and there would have been massacres and pogroms.

“And don’t try to use other Asians as your shield, the whole world knows it’s the Chinese that gifted the world the virus and forthcoming depression and we’re FURIOUS.”

The virus, perhaps, but the depression seems to be the result of boneheaded western leaders who decided to deep six the economy (and allow the banks to receive boatloads of stimulus dollars).
Even if I wanted to blame the Chinese for the virus, it isn’t China keeping the North American population locked up at home. That’s a policy choice, and a dodgy one.

My cousin, who spent years getting his pilot’s license and years more looking for a job, just lost his first job due to coronavirus panic.
Another cousin, the manager of a retail store, just had to lay off her entire workforce by conference call.
This is not like losing a loved one of course, it’s just illustrative of all the millions of real people whose lives are being destroyed by utterly unnecessary and hysterical overreaction.

The actions of the Japanese in China before WW2, and during WW2 in Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Sumatra, Java etc were disgraceful.Replies: @Charles Erwin Wilson, @Chrisnonymous
Yes, but J.Ross is still correct. The current conflict is not about lingering anger over the atrocities of 75 years ago but about current conditions. There is an element of that in the Middle East too.
Note for example that Taiwanese tend to get along great with Japanese, and among nations like Thailand and Burma, which don’t have the shoulder chip about being the center of the world, animosity to Japanese is much less

I’m just finishing the third volume of the official US Army history of the China-Burma-India Theater. The notion that the Chinese people rose up as one to fight the Japs, uh, err, Japanese, is ludicrous. Chiang Kai-shek didn’t want to fight them at all. He wanted the US to fight them for him. With air power, because he didn’t want a lot if Americans in China. All the while, we were to be loading him up with arms so that, after we’d kicked out the, umm, Japanese, for him, he could defeat the Reds. As horrid as the Commies gave been for seventy years, Chiang deserved to have his @ss kicked out of China.

My wife's mother just died, on Easter Sunday, in Europe. Her mother was an angel, the most important person in my wife's life, and the perfect mother-in-law. Through communism, bread lines, cutoffs of electricity and heat, she shepherded my wife into one of the greatest universities in the world, to a degree in mathematics THAT WOULD PUT YOU TO SHAME.

A “genocide of between 150,000 and 200,000 Germanic tribespeople” is literally impossible. A genocide is always “of” a group.
As a matter of grammar I agree with your point. But if we define a genocide as killing more than half of an ethnic group, including women and children, in total or within a large area, this event may qualify.
A gens in Latin is much closer in meaning to tribe than ethnicity, so that’s a point favoring calling the event genocide.
On the other hand, the individual Germanic tribes may not qualify as ethnic groups, as they appear to have melded together and split apart quite a bit. So it was nothing like the Armenian Genocide for example.Replies: @syonredux, @ben tillman

Dear Miss Yang,
Recognize the number 2263?
The number of Japanese-American boys released from the camps to attend college.
You forgot to include this fact.
This is where East Asians are different from Jews who have a solar mindset. No matter how small in number, poor, weak, and starting out in a new place, they see themselves as the center of the universe around whom all of humanity must revolve. For the Chinese, the concept of Middle Kingdom is connected to the land. They are the Big Boss in China. Outside China, they look to serve the New Big Boss. In contrast, whether in Tel Aviv, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Moscow, or etc. Jews feel humanity must revolve around and serve them.
In Southeast Asia, Chinese maintain their Chinese-ness because they have little respect for the natives who are lower in IQ and achievement. But look at Chinese(and other East Asians) in the West, and they suck up to the power in a servile way. It may true that Chinese immigrants still have some sense of link to the old country, but the young ones almost completely lose their identity in no time. Same with Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, and etc. Or look at pathetic Hong Kong. Chinese people who've grown so used to being part of the great Western Empire that they wave the US flag during protests.
Consider some of the prominent East Asian-American thinkers. Francis Fukuyama is of Japanese ancestry but a total toady to globalism and Zionism. While Jews in US do everything to serve Israel's power, survival, and interests, Fukuyama as emissary of his Jewish Masters goes to Japan and other Asian countries and urges mass immigration, globo-homo, and deracination. Japan has frighteningly low birth rates. A Japanese-American who cares about survival of Japan might look to Israel and Hungary as examples of sound and effective natal policy, but Fukuyama just serves his masters and calls for More Diversity for Japan, something Jews would NEVER do with Israel. Or take Amy Chua. She is married to a Jew and raising Jewish kids whose main loyalty is to Zion.
The only three people with a kind of solar-centric view of themselves are now Jews, Hindus, and blacks. Jews because of their Covenant tradition. Hindus because of their own kind of ethno-religion. (Christianity is universalist, therefore undermines identity. Confucianism is ancestral and loses its meaning and pull in the modern world of nuclear families and/or atomized individualism.) And blacks think they be 'badass', so everyone should carry their jockstraps.
Whites used to have a solar-centric view based on Christianity, Reason, and Race. There was a time when Christianity was almost synonymous with white power. But as it spread to non-whites all over, it is no longer particularly white. Reason also used to be the basis of white pride and power as the West pioneered rationalism and science in contrast to the Rest that was mired in customs, mysticism, and superstition. But as Reason(and even democracy) spread all over the world, it is no longer particularly white either. There was the element of Race, the view that whites are special as a people. But as 'racism' became the biggest sin in the West, it is NOT okay to be white.
So now, both whites and East Asians in the West have planetary identities that revolve around those with Solar Will(though Hindus don't count yet in terms of power and prestige). So, in a way, the white dumping on Asians is a clash of planets. Whites, as they revere and serve the Jewish Sun, dare not speak against Jewish Power even though much of the white plight can be traced to Jewish Power. But you don't blame god or the sun. Suppose this virus came out of Israel. Would Trump and his followers be calling it the Jewish, Zionist, or Israeli flu or virus? Of course not. Do 'conservatives' have the guts to refer to HIV as Africa or Homo disease? No. They don't even have the courage and honesty to call Iraq War, Libya War, Syrian War, and etc by their proper name: "Wars for Israel".
So, while criticism of how China handled this disease in the early stage is warranted -- and its possible link to wet markets and lack of food inspection in China -- , the way it's been done is a really a show of cowardice than courage. It's like Trump dumping on Muslims and Mexicans in 2016 while never mentioning that Jewish Power is the #1 force of Open Borders in EU and the US. It's like Trump calling Mexicans 'rapists' when the biggest rapists are blacks. Also, Jewish Power has been derailing his Presidency forever, even getting him impeached, but he is still in Syria and has Soleimani killed. And his minions cheer. And there is Tucker who calls China evil for its ethno-nationalism but in the next breath praises Israel for its national, border, and security policies.
Also, people like Jia don't understand that this is about Power, not right or wrong. After WWII and especially after the end of the C0ld War, the US has gotten used to being the Lone Superpower. Indeed, even more so because Jewish Power now governs the US. Why does this matter? If US hadn't become so obeisant to Jewish Power and Israel, its sense of national interest would be focused on America itself. This was the case with men like Charles Lindbergh and the 'Arabists' who were once influential in US foreign policy. These people(who were both 'left' and 'right') were essentially post-imperialist and believed the US should focus on American issues. Therefore, the US should deal with the world pragmatically to pursue what is best for America. So, America should try to come to terms with any nation to live in peace and to trade. If such people were in power, there would be no need for antagonism with Iran or Russia. Just trade with them and get along. Anglo-Americans who once ruled America has no stake in Russia, Iran, or etc. They just had business interests around the world that could be accommodated through diplomacy.
For such people, a multi-polar world is tolerable AS LONG AS Americans pursue American Interests in America. In contrast, Jews have direct stakes all over the world. They've gained key power in every Western European nation and many Eastern European nations. Especially with the creation of Israel, Jews are very mindful of power balance in North Africa and Middle East. Anglos never regarded Russia as part of their empire. Anglos were sometimes at odds with Russia but never thought to take it over. In contrast, Jews do want to takeover Russia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, France, and etc as globalist elites, which is why they promote globo-homo to use homos in every nation as their well-paid proxies. So, unlike Anglos who wanted to come to terms with and trade with other nations, Jews want to take over and control other nations. If not for Jewish Power in the US, would America be bitterly upset that Russia said NO to globo-homo? Because Jews rule the US and because Jews want it their way in Russia, Poland, Hungary, and MENA, they believe the US must be the lone superpower that isn't challenged by any nation in any part of the world. So, Russia has to be provoked and pressured in Ukraine of all places, a nation that is so close and vital to Russia but has NO rational purpose to the US. In 25 yrs, it will be a 100 yr anniversary of the end of WWII, but incredibly, the US military is still in Japan, South Korea, and encircling China from all sides. (And yet, China is the big bad aggressor.)
It's understandable why people like Jia(and others all over the world) came to the US. Cleaner air, less repression, more individual freedom, and as yet, less corruption than in places in China, India etc. But they need to understand that the US, as vessel of Jewish supremacism, is the #1 force of evil in the world in terms of cultural pollution, neo-imperialism, near-genocidal policies in Middle East, utmost hypocrisy, and total amnesia. That's what they are serving.
As for the NYT and its supposed 'liberal' Jews, they are the worst. On the one hand, Jewish Power has inflamed 'yellow peril' fears in movies, TV shows, and etc. Jewish-controlled Media ran with China-Dragon-Rising stories endlessly. And yet, these same Jews also play the Nice Guy and hug Asians as poor victims and bullies of Big Bad Trump. Jews did the same with Muslims. Hollywood made all these Muslims-are-terrorist movies over decades, but all of a sudden, they were best friends with Muslims against Trump and those 'Islamophobes', all the while pressuring Trump to remain in Syria and wreak more havoc against Arabs who defy Zionist Power.
Anglos handed over their power to Jewish globalists. White Consciousness today is nothing but "how to appease Jews". Whites are surely upset about trends going against them, but one doesn't challenge one's Master. Even when a dog is beaten by its master, its wish is to win his approval. Whites are beaten most by Jews, but as Jews are the Master, whites cannot bark truth to the Master. So, what do whites do? They cozy up to the Master ever more in shows of rage and animus at targets that they believe will please the master. If the master kicks you, go hunt a rabbit and drop it at the master's feet in hope of approval. This is what Trump does. Whipped by Jews from day one, he goes hunting for Iran to win approval from Zionists. Tormented by Jews endlessly, he says troops will remain in Iraq and steal oil. Impeached by Democrats funded by Jews, the dog Trump bags Soleimani. Vilified by Jews, he signs legislation to shut down BDS. In this, he's no different than John McCain. Given what the Jewish media did to him in 2008, you'd think McCain would have grown a pair. But no, to his dying day, he was growling at Russia, Iran, Syria, and Trump to win approval from his Master.
This is America, and this is why people like Jia are stupid to think justice and fairness are possible in a nation where a Christian baker is now being sued for... not baking a Tranny Transition Cake.
Of course, as a 'good liberal' and mental minion of Jewish 'liberals', I'm sure Jia is on the globo-homo bandwagon and screaming 'Bake the Cake Bigot'. Ironically, even as Jia condemns American bigotry, Jia has something in common with Americans: The cowardly unwillingness to name the main culprit of why the US became such an evil force in the world: Jewish supremacist power.

For Koreans, it is a "little brother" syndrome where they are envious and want to be like the Japanese.
For the Chinese, they amped up hatred of Japan after Tienanmen square. The Japanese were a useful target for nationalistic ire so that the CCP could stay ruling in place.Replies: @Oscar Peterson
Hatred of one people for another doesn’t come from something as banal as being “little brother.”
The Japanese invaded and colonized Korea twice, once very destructively at the end of the 16th century and then again in the 20th century. It’s true that the legacy of the modern conquest is mixed. The Japanese began the industrialization and modernization of Korea. But that doesn’t compensate for (1) being subjugated and used by Japan, (2) the second-class status of the large Korean population in Japan, and (3) the humiliation connected to the “comfort women” issue.
It ain’t just “little brother” syndrome, and it’s been a constant stumbling block for the US attempt to weld Japan and South Korea into an anti-China alliance.
It’s true that the PRC’s use and promotion of anti-Japanese sentiment is often cynical. When the Japanese PM apologized to Chou en Lai in 1972 for Japanese behavior in China during WW II, Chou supposedly replied something to the effect of “It’s OK, your invasion help the CCP to come to power.” The environment has certainly changed since then.
But let’s be realistic. If there weren’t a significant existing basis of anti-Japanese sentiment in China, the government wouldn’t be able to amp it up at need. The more powerful China becomes, the more Chinese are inclined to dwell on those who have wronged them (including the West but especially Japan) and see vengeance as a realistic option.
The viets hate the Chinese more than Americans, even though objectively, the Americans did far worse. The Americans killed millions, they waged chemical warfare, they raped women, they sanctioned the economy for decades, etc.
Why is this?
Because the leadership of the country wants it so. And as well, Vietnam won so they have had their vengeance.
As for korea, they weren't *only* victims of Japan. They were also collaborators with japan. And their industries have grown to rival Japan.
Another question in regards to korea: who behaved worse, the United States or Japan? 20% of the Korean peninsula was killed in the Korean war. The United States was the power behind the military dictatorship that ruled Korea brutally. And Korean women are comfort women to US troops.
What is so different is the narciccism of small differences. The United States is other to korea, while Japan is brother.Replies: @Joe Stalin, @Oscar Peterson
No.
The only Asian countries that are fundamentally hostile to Japan are China and the two Koreas. Southeast Asian countries–yes, ones they invaded in WW II–actually have overall quite positive attitudes towards Japan, even more positive, perhaps surprisingly, than South Asia, which Japan never succeeded in conquering. I don’t think Central Asians and Middle Easterners have strong feelings one way or another.
Aside from China and Korea, most Asians are not fixated on the question of Japan taking responsibility for WW II, or they feel that Japan has done enough in that regard.
Sure when it comes to political leaders, a lot of the ill feeling toward the Japan in China and SK is used for domestic political advantage and or bargaining leverage. The Chinese gov't would MUCH rather talk about Japanese atrocities than about much more recent Communist atrocities, for obvious reasons.
There may be other (poorer) countries where the political and economic dynamics are different and the local leaders feel that have more to gain by making nice to the Japanese but the Japanese left a trail of atrocities pretty much everywhere they went .
The US did exactly the same in the Cold War with the Japanese. Once the Korean War started and we needed Japan as a basing point and source of war materiel, the Japanese were our great friends and have remained so ever since.

Actually, the “Captain America (CA) Commie Smasher” phase of the CA identity existed only during a brief, 10-month span in 1953-54 which coincided with two congressional investigations: one into comic books and their impact on youth and the second on Communist infiltration by Senator McCarthy’s committee.
What later became Marvel Comics deployed the anti-Communist CA persona only until the threat from Capitol Hill abated. Then, in September of 1954, Captain America went back on the shelf until he was reinstated in 1964 with something much closer to his 1940s persona.
In the 1970s, Marvel retconned the anti-communist persona:
Marvel writers, “retroactively explained the character’s history, that the 1950s Cap and Bucky [Captain America’s sidekick] had actually not been Rogers and Barnes but William Burnside and Jack Monroe, two men who had been obsessed with Cap and Bucky. Burnside found the original Super-Soldier Serum formula, made his own batch, and injected himself and Monroe with it. Burnside even went so far as to legally change his name to Steve Rogers and get plastic surgery to make himself look like Rogers. The serum eventually drove both men insane, a convenient explanation for Cap’s commie-smashing days.”
So the faux-anti-leftism that had been deployed temporarily to protect the comic book industry in the early 1950’s was then, in the 1970s, transformed implicitly into a new anti-rightism.
I wouldn’t, however, use the term “Bolshevik” to describe the comic book ideologues. Frankfurt School cultural Marxist probably comes closer to the reality.

When the outbreak started in China, Asians whined about people avoiding Chinatown and Asian restaurants. But the majority of their customers were Asian to begin with, so it was Asians avoiding other Asians. Where I live, you can’t walk two miles without encountering a Chinese restaurant serving regional Chinese cuisine, all opened in the last 5 years or so, run by people straight out of China who could barely speak English. There’s even a place that serves “Wuhan noodles”. I don’t think these places should receive any of our $350B small biz stimulus. They should all be sent packing. And Trump should extend the ban on travelers from China — permanently.
Even non-Chinese Asians (like me) hate people from China. They make all Asians look bad, even before the virus, now it’s much worse.

Surely many Filipinos have bad memories? Even native Okinawans (nominally Japanese) have bad feelings about what was done to them in the war, where the Japanese military in effect forced the local population to commit suicide.

And I've always suspected that Michelle Malkin's pro- Japanese internment ideas have something to do with her ethnic background...
As far as the Philippines go, sure there are some residual antipathy, but most of those memories are dying out. 1945 was 75 years ago after all. Most living Filipinos are too young to have much recollection of WW II. Unlike the Japanese occupation of Korea that lasted 40 years or so, the Japanese occupation of the Philippines was only 3 1/2 years. So despite the atrocities and destruction of much of Manila, the Japanese were a blip, and since the war, they have been generous with aid via the Asian Development Bank, have made repeated statements of regret, and are a model of how a well ordered society functions. Not every Filipino migrant worker has a great experience in Japan, but surveys of Filipino opinion show general positive feelings for Japan. The same is true throughout Southeast Asia.
The Southeast Asians are rather forgiving--to outsiders if not to one another. Vietnamese have generally positive feelings about the US, and we left a lot more destruction and dislocation than the Japanese did (though we didn't cause a famine by requisitioning the rice harvest.)

Stuff happens and it happens more the older your car is, but if you keep up replacing certain maintenance items (batteries, fan belts, tires, etc.) then your older car is much less likely to crap out on you. Airlines fly (or until recently, flew) jets that are 20 or 30 years old with terrific safety. They never crap out 30,000 feet in the air despite being the age that most cars are in the junkyard and being 100x more complex than a car. The secret is rigorous adherence to a maintenance schedule. If you wait until stuff breaks then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Car batteries are generally not worth a damn after 4 years. They will be good enough to start your car on a perfect spring day but if it’s hotter or colder, if the car needs to crank a little more than usual, etc. it will crap out on you. And Murphy’s Law says it will be at the most inconvenient time and place possible. Most batteries carry at least a pro-rated warranty and even if they don’t, they are usually under $100, so have your 4 year old battery load tested where you bought it even if it seems OK and chances are it’s going to fail the load test and they will give you at least some credit on a new one and it will be the best $50 you ever spent on the reliability your car ( this will true whether the car is 4 years old or 8 or 16). If you want to improve your odds of getting a new one, bring it to them in another car and maybe run down a little bit. Even an old crappy battery will hold a charge for a few minutes and if you have freshly charged your battery up on the drive to the parts store it’s going to test better than it really is.

When something strange and modern goes south while you are driving at a brisk speed, e.g. crankshaft position sensor, it can be expensive, especially if you can't stop in time before timing chain is damaged.
New cars rarely do that.
* To add insult to injury, the Escort was slow...could hardly get out of its own smoke.
P.S. If I could find a mechanic who would maintain my cars like airplanes, my views on this would be very different.
I don't think the jets are more complex than modern cars, either. They have more and much bigger "systems", so to speak. However, the manufacturers don't do the fancy stuff that makes car repair so complex and difficult now. Airplane parts are much more easily worked on and/or swapped out. Certain critical little parts must not be left out though, that in a car might cause a problem later, but in a jet may cause a disaster.
I agree about the batteries and getting test results at the parts store, Jack. I used to have batteries last 10 years, even with a decent amount of abuse. You are lucky to get 4 out of one now. $100 doesn't get you a good one either. They've gone up from $80 for a good one to more like $125 over the last 20 years.
A mechanic friends says "take care of the little stuff, and the big stuff will take care of itself." That goes through 150,000 to 200,000 miles. Automatic transmissions have a lifetime, no matter how well you treat em.

Sound advice, Mr. D, but I was not talking maintenance items. As long as you avoid buying rolling junk (like my late unlamented Ford Escort…blew a head gasket at a little over 40,000 miles and ate timing belts like M&Ms*), a modern car should be good for over 100K miles.

As a matter of grammar I agree with your point. But if we define a genocide as killing more than half of an ethnic group, including women and children, in total or within a large area, this event may qualify.
A gens in Latin is much closer in meaning to tribe than ethnicity, so that’s a point favoring calling the event genocide.
On the other hand, the individual Germanic tribes may not qualify as ethnic groups, as they appear to have melded together and split apart quite a bit. So it was nothing like the Armenian Genocide for example.Replies: @syonredux, @ben tillman
Killing 150,000 members of a tribe might constitute a genocide, but it will be a genocide of the tribe, not of the 150,000 people.
Yeah, I knew that. The Timely Big 3 revival of the ’50s (Captain America, Human Torch, Sub-Mariner) was notoriously unsuccessful.
Shelving CA had everything to do with low sales. As noted above, the attempt to revive the big 3 was a failure. Interestingly enough, the Sub-Mariner lasted longer than either CA or the Human Torch. Some have speculated that that was due to the possibility of a TV deal for the character.

Sure when it comes to political leaders, a lot of the ill feeling toward the Japan in China and SK is used for domestic political advantage and or bargaining leverage.

There may be other (poorer) countries where the political and economic dynamics are different and the local leaders feel that have more to gain by making nice to the Japanese but the Japanese left a trail of atrocities pretty much everywhere they went .
The US did exactly the same in the Cold War with the Japanese.

I know a few who are quite hostile towards the Japanese.For example, I know an East Asian Studies prof who’s married to a Filipina, and she once vetoed a trip to Japan that he was planning. The idea of being surrounded by Japanese people was too much for her….

Jack, our society might put a high value on human life, but not the people causing this total shutdown. The Lyin’ Press (I don’t include iSteve in this, of course), is, in McDonald’s marketing terms, LOVIN’ IT! They have so many viewers for so much time, and causing panic 24/7 is how this was done. They will keep it up until people get sick and tired of it. That might be a while, as much as people are glued to their phones and the idiot plate.
Governments have used what should have been a minor “crisis” as a way to gain even more power. Just using the terms “lockdown” and “shelter-in-place” gets them wet down below. Next, they will get to dole out $2 – $10,000,000,000,000 to whomever sucks them off harder with lots of little strings attached. It’s a blast, man! That is, if you are a high-level US Feral government Ceausescu-wanna be, or even a Governor of Wyoming, or Mayor of Camden, New Jersey.
Speaking of Ceausescu, he had no regard for human life or the quality of human lives in Romania, but his type is not at all far away from the American officials wanting to be able to shut down this or that part of the private economy at will. Our officials just wish we weren’t still armed is all. Ceausescu would have the planes flying, but only for the high-up Commies anyway. That’s the way it may go here …
My view was at the time, with the info we had in early March, shutdowns were the right move.
Now thanks to a lot more info, I switched over to Team Reopen. Steve basically has too, and much of the right is moving there as well.

The English and the French fought each other for close to a thousand years, with numberless atrocities on both sides in that interval. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, that hostility began to ebb. If England and France could make peace, and become allies, occasional friends even, it’s not such a stretch for the US and Japan, which had been hostile for a period of single-digit years.
Steve, after this momentary return to your usual subjects, you will quickly return to your hysterical, nerdy, shrieking, FEMALE stoking of Crona-chan panic.

You can't distract those of us who "notice" things. You called this terribly wrong, and it will cost all of us, even you. Hard as you are obviously trying now, you cannot now deflect to your usual suspects, true as they may have been before you showed how wrong and dangerous and costly and deadly you can be.

My wife's mother just died, on Easter Sunday, in Europe. Her mother was an angel, the most important person in my wife's life, and the perfect mother-in-law.

We cannot fly and attend her funeral, because of the hysteria YOU, STEVE and others have stoked and falsely promoted. My wife is crying, mourning her angel mother, and we can't go there. Thanks to people like you.
This is insane. Steve, you might remember, as I do, a kid like you in SoCal in 1968, that "Hong Kong" flu. I had it. We all survived and our nation and the world did not stop.

You have a responsibility for what you write, because you know and I know that decision-makers read it. You bear some responsibility for the crash and destruction and the personal debt and for my wife not being able to attend her beloved mother's funeral.
You are part of this. You cannot sit there in your closet and pretend any longer that you are somehow apart from things. You are not. Simple logic, combined with Ron's own numbers just reported in his article here, tell us all that LOTS of people read what you write here.

Yes, he’s been relatively pro shutdown and seemingly little disturbed by the police state stuff, but all in a fairly mild and inquiring way.
Further, international travel restrictions, whether outright bans or quarantine on arrival, would be part of the package even with a considerably milder response to Corona-chan than what we’ve had so this particular funeral case wouldn’t have likely worked anyway.

Well, the Okinawans have bad memories about being incorporated into the Japanese state in the first place. If it comes to that, the Ainu have bad memories too. Their views are closer to those of Koreans, but they can’t express them the way Koreans can.
As far as the Philippines go, sure there are some residual antipathy, but most of those memories are dying out. 1945 was 75 years ago after all. Most living Filipinos are too young to have much recollection of WW II. Unlike the Japanese occupation of Korea that lasted 40 years or so, the Japanese occupation of the Philippines was only 3 1/2 years. So despite the atrocities and destruction of much of Manila, the Japanese were a blip, and since the war, they have been generous with aid via the Asian Development Bank, have made repeated statements of regret, and are a model of how a well ordered society functions. Not every Filipino migrant worker has a great experience in Japan, but surveys of Filipino opinion show general positive feelings for Japan. The same is true throughout Southeast Asia.
The Southeast Asians are rather forgiving–to outsiders if not to one another. Vietnamese have generally positive feelings about the US, and we left a lot more destruction and dislocation than the Japanese did (though we didn’t cause a famine by requisitioning the rice harvest.)
Outside of China and Korea, the WW II historical memory of East Asia and associated feelings of hostility to Japan have not endured.

OK, “accessory drive belts” or “serpentine belts”. They’re still fan belts to me even though they don’t drive the fan anymore. Go into any parts store and ask for a fan belt and they’ll know what you mean.
I don’t know that the batteries have actually gotten worse (nor have they really gotten much better – the basic technology is from Edison’s time and they are nasty devices full of lead and sulfuric acid) but cars today have a bigger parasitic load (power draw when the car is off) and I think that wears out the battery faster. To give you an idea of how out of date they are, they now sell lithium battery based jump start devices that start your car just fine and rather than being 50 lbs. of lead and corrosive acid, they are the size of a paperback book.

Certainly the demands on the battery have increased, perhaps the "no-maintenance" nature of these new batteries could also be a contributing factor?
Batteries used to last me a lot longer, Jack. I understand what the CCA rating is, and, of course, I try to get a 650A or so. By good ones, I mean ones that are the "gold" vs. "silver" of the same brand, meaning, if nothing else, the warranty is pro-rated for 4 years. We are on the same page there. Now, as to returning them, the tests are often not useful. My mechanic friend, who is as honest as any you could get, told me this: If you KNOW the battery is bad, and you took it in and they give you any shit, just drain out one cell at home and come back. It hasn't come to that yet for me, but it may.
I have a very specific post on inflation wrt auto batteries and parts, right here (just looked at it, and the new price - exact same brand/rating - was lots higher than that $125 I wrote before). Yes, there is more inflation than our BS BLS numbers would have people believe. (Roofing shingles - $6.50 a bundle for non-architectural in the mid 1990s - over 3 x that much 5 years ago!)
Anyway, nice corresponding with you here. I hope Steve is doing OK and just spending lots of time on a Takimag column or what have you. Steve??

The Japanese invaded and colonized Korea twice, once very destructively at the end of the 16th century and then again in the 20th century. It's true that the legacy of the modern conquest is mixed. The Japanese began the industrialization and modernization of Korea. But that doesn't compensate for (1) being subjugated and used by Japan, (2) the second-class status of the large Korean population in Japan, and (3) the humiliation connected to the "comfort women" issue.
It ain't just "little brother" syndrome, and it's been a constant stumbling block for the US attempt to weld Japan and South Korea into an anti-China alliance.
It's true that the PRC's use and promotion of anti-Japanese sentiment is often cynical. When the Japanese PM apologized to Chou en Lai in 1972 for Japanese behavior in China during WW II, Chou supposedly replied something to the effect of "It's OK, your invasion help the CCP to come to power." The environment has certainly changed since then.
But let's be realistic. If there weren't a significant existing basis of anti-Japanese sentiment in China, the government wouldn't be able to amp it up at need. The more powerful China becomes, the more Chinese are inclined to dwell on those who have wronged them (including the West but especially Japan) and see vengeance as a realistic option.Replies: @Bucky
Contrast with Vietnam.
The viets hate the Chinese more than Americans, even though objectively, the Americans did far worse. The Americans killed millions, they waged chemical warfare, they raped women, they sanctioned the economy for decades, etc.
Why is this?
Because the leadership of the country wants it so. And as well, Vietnam won so they have had their vengeance.
As for korea, they weren’t *only* victims of Japan. They were also collaborators with japan. And their industries have grown to rival Japan.
Another question in regards to korea: who behaved worse, the United States or Japan? 20% of the Korean peninsula was killed in the Korean war. The United States was the power behind the military dictatorship that ruled Korea brutally. And Korean women are comfort women to US troops.
What is so different is the narciccism of small differences. The United States is other to korea, while Japan is brother.

Not all Japanese brands are equal, especially since Ghosn cost cut Nissan (and therefore Infiniti) to death. Toyota/Lexus is #1 in durability followed by Honda/Acura and then all of the others are significantly behind. Subaru and Mazda have their fans for their driving experience but this is not the same thing as durability. Nissan and Mitsubishi are good if you have a bad credit rating and no one else will give you a loan.
Also don’t forget the S. Korean brands. My Genesis is luxurious and has been trouble free and carries a really long warranty (as do all Korean cars) and because the brand is not well established (and the dealer experience is not at Lexus levels) they sell for cheap compared to German and Japanese luxury brands, especially in the (slightly) used market. Their reliability is up with the Japanese nowadays.
The Genesis is certainly intriguing. I'd love if Steve could get a comfy Lexus or Genesis to cruise around in for the next 20 years of grocery store runs and golf outings.
I've noticed a lot of "hidden" inflation even though we're not supposed to have inflation. The other day I went to reorder an air filter that I had bought on Amazon 3 years ago (another item that you should replace according to schedule - also don't forget your cabin air filter - most cars have them now and you'll be amazed how cruddy they get) and it was perhaps 50% more, and that happens a lot. Yes, the days of the $50 car battery are gone.
There are only two actual manufacturers of car batteries in the US - Johnson and Exide, so not a lot of competition. Every other brand of battery is just a rebrand of either a Johnson or an Exide (and car batteries are too heavy to import except from Mexico where they have opened factories). So don't go by brand name, go by spec (# of "cold cranking amps") and warranty and price. So you should get the most expensive battery from the cheapest vendor - the top of the line (or maybe 1 notch down - the spiral wound Optimas and the sealed AGM batteries are overkill) you can get at Costco or Wal-Mart or maybe from your local parts store with a coupon code. For any given spec, it will be the identical battery that your car dealer will sell you at twice the price but with a different label glued on. Don't get the economy special if you intend to keep the car for any length of time.Replies: @anonymous, @Achmed E. Newman
Just giving you a hard time – yes “serpentine” or “main” belt, and if you say fan belt so some young Millennial, you’re gonna have her looking at a computer screen for a long time!
Batteries used to last me a lot longer, Jack. I understand what the CCA rating is, and, of course, I try to get a 650A or so. By good ones, I mean ones that are the “gold” vs. “silver” of the same brand, meaning, if nothing else, the warranty is pro-rated for 4 years. We are on the same page there. Now, as to returning them, the tests are often not useful. My mechanic friend, who is as honest as any you could get, told me this: If you KNOW the battery is bad, and you took it in and they give you any shit, just drain out one cell at home and come back. It hasn’t come to that yet for me, but it may.
I have a very specific post on inflation wrt auto batteries and parts, right here (just looked at it, and the new price – exact same brand/rating – was lots higher than that $125 I wrote before). Yes, there is more inflation than our BS BLS numbers would have people believe. (Roofing shingles – $6.50 a bundle for non-architectural in the mid 1990s – over 3 x that much 5 years ago!)
Anyway, nice corresponding with you here. I hope Steve is doing OK and just spending lots of time on a Takimag column or what have you. Steve??
I don’t get your point about the hair, Alden. Lots of Chinese women’s hair is wavy, but they pay money to get it straightened. If you’re gonna be Chinese, LOOK Chinese, dammit!

Well sure, if you pour the acid out, and keep the lead plates, melting them down one by one for use as bullets after the SHTF, one just might.

Appropriate clarifications. I typically default to Toyota or Honda, but I’d still go second rate Japanese over a US or Euro car.

The viets hate the Chinese more than Americans, even though objectively, the Americans did far worse. The Americans killed millions, they waged chemical warfare, they raped women, they sanctioned the economy for decades, etc.
Why is this?
Because the leadership of the country wants it so. And as well, Vietnam won so they have had their vengeance.
As for korea, they weren't *only* victims of Japan. They were also collaborators with japan. And their industries have grown to rival Japan.
Another question in regards to korea: who behaved worse, the United States or Japan? 20% of the Korean peninsula was killed in the Korean war. The United States was the power behind the military dictatorship that ruled Korea brutally. And Korean women are comfort women to US troops.
What is so different is the narciccism of small differences. The United States is other to korea, while Japan is brother.Replies: @Joe Stalin, @Oscar Peterson

When given the choice in the midst of war, 100K North Korean civilians decided that your hated Yankees were a better choice compared the Communists.

Vietnam-China:
Yes, China is the immediate and next-door threat for Vietnam. Of course, their history is long and fraught, while the US presence was a couple of decades all told. Some say that the historical antagonism between the two has been exaggerated and that the SRV government has promoted the hostility for its own purposes. Maybe–to a certain extent. But again, if there were not some underlying animosity, there wouldn’t be anything for the Vietnamese government to whip up, at need, into active hatred.
China-Korea:
Agree on the collaboration. The collaborators were the ones we chose to head the new-born ROK government in the late 1940s, while those who actively opposed the Japanese occupation in Korean units of the PLA were the founders of the DPRK.
The real question is not who, objectively, treated Koreans worse, Japan or the US. The real question is how Koreans–South Koreans–answer that question. And even with the revelations of recent years, the South Koreans are quite clear about whom they blame primarily.
I don’t detect much in the way of fraternal feelings–“little brother” or any other kind–between Koreans and Japanese–certainly not from the Korean side. If there is an elder brother-younger brother relationship, it’s between China and Korea. They’ve had their run-ins over the centuries, but Koreans have a fundamentally positive view of China, Chinese culture and the Chinese.
This is why the US has failed in trying to cement a functional Japan-ROK, anti-PRC alliance for the 21st century. It simply goes too strongly against the grain of South Korean sentiment.
It’s probably also why the US security establishment opposes any move away from a tense relationship with North Korea. If that issue were ever resolved, the long-term trend would be toward a neutral Korea that would be economically and culturally very close to China
1. They think they're better than me.
2. They aren't better than me. They are weak.
Part 1 by itself can lead to worship. Part 2 by itself is disdain. Combine the two and you get hatred because there is the possibility of advancement.
This, by the way, is what you see from many Muslim terrorists and Muslim nationalists.
Anyways, see the disdain that the Chinese have for the Indians. And see the hatred they have for the Japanese. People do punch up like so. This may be fundamentally there, but the framing of things is hugely important and the signals given off by the leadership play a great role in how things are perceived, especially in hierarchical societies of easy Asia.
Hatred tends to come from a two-part formula:
1. They think they’re better than me.
2. They aren’t better than me. They are weak.
