1.White men consider that they alone are human beings, and that all coloured people are on a lower scale of creation. 2. The whites are extremely selfish. They insist on their own interests to the utmost, but persist in unreasonable treatment of those whom they regard as their inferiors. 3. White men are full of racial pride and conceit. When they gain an inch they grasp a mile. To make a concession to them is to lay up a store of humiliation. 4. White men run to extremes. They excel … both in greatness and vileness. 5. White men worship money as omnipotent, and believe that is the key to all things.
Today. I could have written that with some minor changes, based upon observations and conversations I have overheard as a bi-racial person that looks to be white along with a white last name. But I would also clarify white nationalist instead of painting all white people with this brush. But I could easliy see someone else beleiveing this word for word as stated, today.
It was written today. About 1 hour ago. May not have been the first time though. It could have been written for the first time any time in the last 400-500 years.
It’s from Dr. Sanjiro Ichimura of the Imperial University in Tokyo in 1913.
Japan had been leaning toward the west and against Asia since “opening up” a half century earlier. It had invested heavily in manufacturing and, after winning the Russo-Japanese war in 1905, became a military power. The country’s leaders believed they deserved the international respect given to other western nations.
Yet a bill was introduced into the California legislature in 1913 that would restrict new Japanese immigrants from owning land in the state. President Wilson, citing states’ rights, said he could do nothing.
A typical example of anti-Asian racism, a subject that gets very little attention here in the eastern U.S. The attitudes of western countries in the early part of the 20th century explains half of what drove the Japanese toward domination and war in the 1930s.
Yet I’d be remiss if I didn’t cite with the book says if you flip the page.
The California bill grouped Japanese in with Mongolians. With history’s usual irony, the Japanese held almost exactly similar attitudes of superiority toward other Asians groups. They had a proper “instinctive cuticular repulsion” toward Mongolians, wrote an American professor working in Japan. That feeling, that were “racially distinct from the Chinese” fills in the other half of why Japan treated other Asians with the same contempt they held for westerners.
White superiority is just one dot on the spectrum of racial superiority. All of it leads to horrors.
