Like “The Bell-Curve” this book tell politically uncorrected truths and like it will be the target of liberal(?) book burners.

So I should be interested in some Chinese woman telling me that I suck?

And all vote Democrat and come from non-western cultures. In the case of Askenazic Jews, success is both genetic and cultural. In the case of Indians and Chinese, it is due to the fact that the immigrants that come to our Western society tend to be on the right side of the bell curve in terms of intelligence, relative to their native societies as a whole.

What worries me is that if you look at the median IQ of Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, etc. and then consider that most immigrants from these countries are to the left of the bell curve in terms of IQ distribution, we are in a lot of trouble.

Am I wrong to believe that we should instead give preference to civilizationaly-compatible immigrants from Europe, instead of Asians, Latin Americans, and Middle Easterners? Does any politician have the stones to say this?

One thing she leaves out is that minorities aren’t required to be politically correct. Whatever they do, whatever they say is ok with the ‘powers that be’ because they aren’t part of the ‘oppressors’. How nice for them! I wonder if she factors in that particular freedom?

This writer thinks that its the imported foreign culture that enables certain minorities to succeed in the US and gives no credit, it seems, to the environment created by those who came before her.

Its this kind of killing the goose that laid the golden egg thinking that will eventually bring it down for all of us.

Two words. Parental discipline.

[JoeFromSidney]

actually Thomas Sowell has said much the same things in his various books looking at the effects of culture on success or lack thereof in America. But of course he's politically incorrect.

Two politically incorrect things missing...

Blacks are not mentioned

Husbands are not mentioned

After three years in SouthEast Asia, I can see some relevance to the “two generations behind the Jews” comment.

AS a former USAF member, with the title ‘Assistant Shop Chief’ in the electronics field, the sharpest and most cockiest suborrdinate, did happen to be named ‘Sasaki’.

Did you notice that there was one answer of “No Plurality” on that chart, and by whom?

And this is why India is such an oasis of prosperity. Right. And China is poorer than Mexico per capita.

The Tiger Mom is unfamiliar with the basic statistical idea of representative and non-representative samples.
