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

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

This is exactly why we need immigration. We are stealing the cream from the rest of the world.
