        Fits my anecdotes. The quality of Asian immigration has gone up. 100yrs ago they were normal working class immigrants, today they're academics. We're skimming the top of Asian IQ distribution

        Don't you find it a little odd that these Chinese girls adopted from Chinese orphanages--hardly skimming the top SES--tend to do exceptionally well in American schools?

        What is missing in these tests are a measure of creativity and disruptive creative mindset. Asian cultures tend to focus on RESPECT, a creative inventor "disrespects" objects made by man, and thinks he can improve them. My creative inventor mind has an idea every 8 seconds...cont

        Walking through a kitchen store with my Indonesian wife, she was surprised at how I could re-design products, on the fly as we walked. She said "you see things that are not there" That skill is not found a IQ tests, I did score top 1/2 of 1% on the SAT

        I’d love to see white broken down into class groups though. “Asians” in the US are near exclusively upper middle+ The obvious dysgenic pressure from the last few years probably applies to around 60% of whites, I wonder if the top 20% or so have had climbing scores too

        A significant proportion of Asians in the United States are from low-income backgrounds, but their children still do extremely well.

        The scores provided are averages and on average Asians have much higher incomes than Black, Hispanics, and Native Americans.

        Past events have that already shown us that most will, but many won’t. The problem is that internment camps have long been off the table, and with a public increasingly skeptical of the NSA, there is nothing to determine who is for who.

        That's why we beat the Russkies in the Cold War -- our German scientists were better than their German scientists.

        You’re pinning the Chinese against the Chinese. Not Germans against the Russians. You’re not thinking this through.
