I dunno, maybe its 'cause of cultural factors and a work ethic? :roll:
Totally not racist at all…
I’m sure the tens of millions of workers in factories in China who earn a dollar a day producing plastic trinkets are beneficiaries of “Asian privilege”…
Haw haw. Could you explain a bit,for you see, not everyone’s retarded enough to understand your troll logic?
I try to avoid Nazi comparisons even for racists, but this garbage is saying that Asians are commiting a crime just by existing just like the Nazi racial ideology used to justify industrial genocide.
This racist shitbag appears not to recognize that Mr. Luo was born in Pittsburgh and Mr. Lin in Los Angeles, and believes that all Asians are apparently from Red China.
I’m feeling quite fucking stupid now, but I was told of this article by a friend who took it seriously also and actually did a whole critique of it for a school assignment. Its just enough realistic (unlike Swift’s original Modest Proposal which was transparently a satire) that one can take it seriously.
It’s a joke. Satire. Of what I’m not exactly sure. Probably making fun of those (and they do exist) who advocate for quotas for Asians in academia.
On the other hand, if it wasn’t a joke, it’s exactly the kind of thing I’d expect in a webzine that bears the name of that piece of shit Taki Theodoracopulos.
This is just bizarre. Hint, if you’re a a racist like Gavin MacInnes and writing for a racist publication like Taki’s Magazine, you probably aren’t any good at satirizing racism. Or whatever you’re trying to do here.
Can’t really fault you- it is hard to work out what’s being sent up*- but you should probably tell you friend to at least do cursory research about the authors of pieces they write criticism of. I’m pretty sure he would have figured it out after discovering Gavin McInnes is the “Godfather of hipsterdom”.
In glancing at the “columnists” sidebar I instantly recognize:
[ul]
[li]Two people who were fired from the National Review last year for racism (John Derbyshire and Robert Weissberg)[/li][li]One white nationalist loon (Paul Gottfried)[/li][li]And my favourite, all-present, self promoting, pseudoscientist/movie critic (Steve Sailer).[/li][/ul]
In reading the previous article Gavin wrote on that site, it turns out that…Yes; he seems to be a “race realist” loon too.
[QUOTE=Gavin McInnes]
Anthropologists and sociobiologists who discuss innate traits are consistently banished from the tribe. Surely the astonishingly similar lives of identical twins separated at birth shows nature deserves a fighting chance. The Bell Curve is still treated like it was written by the Unabomber, despite Herrnstein and Murray prefacing the book with a sea of disclaimers and careful pleading that although it is possible to make generalizations about a group’s behavior, one must never apply knowledge of these patterns to an individual. (Interestingly, discussing the high IQs of Jews isn’t nearly as taboo.)
Such data should not be considered controversial. The problem with ignoring stats such as Herrnstein and Murray’s is you end up fostering indignation when people notice the world isn’t as perfectly fair as promised. If fat, short men were told they’re not prominent in the NBA because of some sort of bias, they’d be furious. That’s what you do when you foster false notions of ubiquitous equality. You make people angry. That’s the irony of trying to create a world without hate. It nurtures hatred.

Even back when he was at Vice, he used to push the line about how we need to close the border so that immigrants don’t come here and adopt a lifestyle like ours, because that would be bad for the environment.
Yeah, I’m starting to think that despite the tagline that implies this is satire, it’s *really *not. I’d never heard of Taki Theodoracopulos, so I Googled him, and what’s the very first hit on autocomplete? “Taki Theodoracopulos racist”. Huh. Seems he has a little bit of a reputation. Sure enough, discussion of his racism takes up at least one fourth of his brief Wiki entry.
Okay, but McInnes is just the columnist. Who knows; perhaps he’s trying to subvert Taki’s ideology. Let’s Google him, see what he’s about. Second hit on autocomplete, after “twitter”: “racist”. Well that ain’t good. Here’s a little bit more about him. And here’s a charming piece about the both of them, Taki’s Magazine, and other “hipster racists”.
Its just enough realistic (unlike Swift’s original Modest Proposal which was transparently a satire) that one can take it seriously.
