Thank you for your well wishes. LOL you can probably pick any other topic and there might be some insecurities lurking about. I have none here. I know there are some people smarter than me, they might even exist on this board but they are very rare. You are a writer, you must be a gordian knot of insecurity. Is that why you pretend to be so affable when you are all twisted and bitter inside? ---

I find peer reviewed research more persuasive than your internet opinions. > [@](#): > > Asian Americans aren’t a monolithic group and feature dozens of ethnicities, and this statement is untrue for many of them. It is true for the overwhelming majority of asian americans and for confucian cultures generally. There are a lot of bad things about confucian culture, even the focus on academics is not entirely a good thing. The teen suicide rate in these cultures is not because they are all angsty, these teens are very driven and under very high pressure. They are led to believe that their performance in school as a youth will have lasting and significant effects throughout their lives. And they see the evidence of this all around them. There is a downside to all this focus on education, it doesn’t come without great cost. > [@](#): > > And even within a particular ethnic enclave, it’s not something that’s universally true either - descendants of refugee Vietnamese (lower average educational attainment) vs more recent immigrants (higher average educational attainment), for example. So unless something is true in every case I cannot say it is generally true for the group? Cmon. Pfft. > [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > You couldn’t have been more wrong if you tried. You owe them both an apology. Nah. There was a poster that would get offended on behalf of the minority members of his extended family. He would use the black members of his extended family like a friends and family race card in a way tht a lack person never would. I don’t recall who it was. So many of you guys read from the same hymnal so its hard to tell you apart. > [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > In my suggested phrasing, “on average” is carrying a lot of weight, and absolutely I’d want to see the sort of disaggregation you’re talking about. But at least that kind of phrasing would be data-focused instead of the sort of racial chauvinism that DA advocates. That sounds a lot like you are saying “Well you would be right if you said it in a way that didn’t hurt people’s feelings.” Is my statement correct or not? I know you didn’t make the accusation but I am still waiting for someone to explain to my dimwitted self, why I am racist. ---

> [@Max\_S](#): > > FWIW, I do not usually think of Indians, Thais, or Filipinos when someone says “asians” in casual conversation. Well, indian americans are probably among the best educated and certainly have the highest income among asian americans. Filipinos have probably the second highest income. But as people frequently point out, these groups represent a fair bit of cherrypicking. They probably have strong family traditions of hard work and academic success but it is not nearly as widespread in india and the phillipines as it is among indians and filipinos in the usa. I don’t know much about the thais, I know they are doing better than average but they are not a huge population and not really used as a benchmark relative to indians and filipinos. ---

Perhaps until you can actually recall who it was you are talking about then maybe you should withdraw the pretty disgusting allegation you’ve just made and apologise. “It’s hard to tell you apart” really doesn’t cut it. ---

> [@drad\_dog](#): > > Right wingers do that and project it on everyone else. I don’t have any black relatives to hide behind. It was definitely here and it was definitely one of the woke jokes on this site. I just can’t remember who so if I accused you of it and you don’t have black relatives, I apologize. Meanwhile. I have one poster stand up and say how smart hey thought GIGO was. I am assuming they are borderline retarded to think that GIGO isn’t a fucking moron but at least he’s on our side and he takes a ton of shrapnel for us. ---

I apologize to anyone I accused without citation. But like I said it happened here on this message board at least twice and i suspect that some of the posters on this thread know who i am talking about. It was a white man waving around his black relatives like it gives him extra credibility in discussions of race. I was shocked that noone said anything but once again, tribalism overlooks that sort of stuff. ---
