I have gotten many hundreds of emails–OK, three emails, but I am rounding up–asking me whether there is a super-race. There are different views on this matter, discussion being carried on with the manners of a hockey match. For people who have better things to do than study abnormal psychology, the players are briefly as follows: Something called the Alt-Right that believes the white race to be superior and wants to rid the country of of encroaching dark scum. The Human Biodiversity movement, HBD, more scientific and less surly but picking whites while conceding that yellow are smarter. Finally IQists, who believe that IQ is a reliable measure of genetic intelligence. They too put yellows as more intelligent.

The Alt-Right believes that the whites are innately–i.e., genetically–superior to all other races, that they have dominated the world through higher intelligence, and that their mastery is the result of Darwinian selection. Whites, they say, have a marvelous track record of achievement, and they don’t want to dilute it by intermarriage.
They have a point. It is not thought politic in today’s racial climate to notice the obvious, that white Europeans have been far and away the most successful race yet. (The “yet” is important.) No other has even come close. Various peoples have learned to use the products of European civilization–the Japanese, Latin Americans, Thais, etc. at length–but have not engendered it. Look around you and see whether you can find anything that was not invented by European whites (other than paper and gunpowder).
But:
International Physics Olympiad Internationally, top four contestants were Chinese, Chinese, Korean, Korean, with eleven of the top fifteen being east Asian. The US first appeared in sixteenth place. The American team: Jason Lu, Srijon Mukherjee, Vincent Liu, Abijith Krishnan, Jimmy Qin. Less than six percent of America is Asian.
Many in HBD concede that north Asians, specifically, the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are more intelligent than white Europeans. While many outside of HBD (including me) doubt the reliability of IQ tests as measures of intelligence, the HBD people do not. They often assert that observation supports their view–that achievements of both individuals and peoples track IQ, that high achievement is therefore evidence of high IQ.
It would then seem to be Asians, not whites, who are wildly over represented in intellectual achievement. Races other than white and yellow races are not even in the running.
Although Asians comprise only 13 percent of California’s population, three-fifths of the state’s National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists have Asian last names. (Good article on this: Taki’s Magazine) These Semifinalists are in the top .5% in intelligence, or one in two hundred. The Asian kids outnumber the whites by more than four to one.
Now, background: Worldwide we are seeing a demographic shift of a speed and scale that makes the barbarian occupation of the Roman empire seem lackadaisical. America, already substantially African, has opened the floodgates to Latin America and simultaneously imports people from a variety of underperforming societies. Why they underperform can be debated; that they do so cannot. Exactly why America does this is not clear. Races and nations have often been overrun and absorbed by others, but white Americans are to my knowledge the only ones to deliberately submerge themselves racially.
Brain size: Blacks 1267 cm3, European-descended people (Whites) 1347 cm3, and East Asian-descended people (East Asians) 1364 cm3
At the same time Europe deliberately and without need imports huge numbers of people of incompatible and unsuccessful stock, various Muslims and Africans, with disastrous consequences. Meanwhile the white world seems exhausted, the American Empire in decline, with corruption, lack of will, sorry universities, and poor government taking a lethal toll.
Now it is Eurowhites who are the racial under-performers. Again, nobody else is even in the game.
Psychomotricians, who are neither the highly politicized IQists nor racist peddlers of Hitlerian pseudoscience, but very careful statisticians, put Chinese IQ at above 105, white at 100. This is not a trivial difference, and has serious consequences at the high end of the distribution.
China rises with astonishing speed. Alt-Righters are thus caught in a trap: Their arguments for the superiority of whites to blacks and Latinos equally show the superiority of Asians to whites. Anyway, if their conclusions are correct, the Chinese will be well advised not to intermarry with whites and thereby lower their mental capacity. I presume that HBDists will sympathize with this attitude as they too want to protect their genetic purity.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, Va. is a very, very elite school–elite in brains. Average math SAT: 759. “Of the 457 students in the Class of 2016, 162 are National Merit Semi-Finalists, and an additional 210 are National Merit Commended students.” Again, Semi-Finalists are in the top .5% in intelligence. TJ is over 66% Asian.
Bronx High School of Science, likewise very selective: 63% Asian. Brooklyn Tech, another of of New York’s three hyper-selective high schools: 61% Asian, 22% white
If they are right, the implications are interesting. In the United States, blacks and Latinos barely show up in the high-end sciences. The are probably a third of the population. This leaves a bit more than two hundred million whites and a few Asians to do the brain work on which modern societies depend.
The number of these cannot much be increased. Further, America long ago put in places a system for sucking the best minds out of the whole country and sending them to good universities. For example, as long ago as the Sixties all high-school students could take the National Merit exam and semifinalists got recruiting packages from Harvard, Yale and, if memory serves, Princeton.
Numbers matter. Add up a billion Han Chinese–this doesn’t cunt Muslim Uighurs in Xin Jiang–126 million Japanese, 75 million Koreans, and you get and you get a formidable combined population. China alone can potentially field five times the engineers that America can, starting from a pool of higher intelligence.
Yuja Wang at Carnegie: Not just engineering.
The slant-eyed Asians are especially strong in mathematical fields. In fact, they seem so superior to Eurowhites that any reasonable person might expect them to dominate the sciences and engineering in the whole world in coming years. A few of the examples I have given here might be explained by culture, local demographics, and so on. Collectively they appear to be a death knell to European intellectual mastery, set to overwhelm America in the STEM fields of science, technology, orienteering, and math.
CalTech has probably the most demanding entrance standards in America and does not practice affirmative action. It is 45% Asian, 27% white, 12% Hispanic, 1% black.
As I suspect HBDists would agree, since we are using their standards of judgement we begin to see replacement of a dominant race by a superior race.
PISA scores, This is the Program for International Scholastic Assessment, administered every three years to high school students by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The seven top scorers in math: Singapore, Hongkong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, China, and Korea. The Verbal order was not mulch different.
Anyone following the breakneck development of China since Mousey Dung stopped crippling his country will see that a great deal of intelligence is being deployed. Increasingly, and rapidly. China makes inroads into what has been white European superiority in genetics, computing, weaponry, publication of scientific papers, and so on. And not just China.
Scripps Spelling Bee: “Seventeen out of the last twenty one winners (from 1999 to 2016), including all champions for the most recent nine years… have been Indian Americans.. Indian-Americans make up less than one percent of the U.S. population.[4] In 2016, Nihar Janga from Austin, Texas, became the youngest champion in the bee’s history when he won the title at the age of 11.”
The combined evidence is crushing. In my years as a writer on technology I noticed what then seemed to me an unusual number of Asian names in staff lists of advanced laboratories. I doubt this has changed. Recently a friend in California, with an Asian wife, and therefore plugged into that community, told me that the carefully unspoken view was that “The whites are lazy and stupid.”
The Putnam math aptitude test. Wikipedia: “It is widely considered to be the most prestigious university-level mathematics examination in the world, and its difficulty is such that the median score is often zero or one (out of 120) despite being attempted by students specializing in mathematics.” Winners, mostly from the Ivy League:
2015 Pakawut Jiradilok, Bumsoo Kim, Gyujin Oh,
Daniel Spivak, David H. Yang, Yunkun Zhou. Female winner, Danielle Wang.
2014 Ravi Jagadeesan, Zipei Nie, Mark A. Sellke, Bobby C. Shen, David H. Yang, Lingfu Zhang.
Given the overwhelming evidence of Asian superiority, we might well ask ourselves how we ought to respond. The Alt-Right says that, well, they’re smart but they can’t innovate so it doesn’t matter. Let us pray.
Stuyvesant High School: Very high-end, New York, over 3000 students, second highest number of National Merit Semi-Finalists after Thomas Jefferson, admission solely on a very demanding entrance test. As of the 2014-15 school year, Asian students made up 73% of the school’s population; White students, 20%; Latinos, 3%; Blacks, 1%; and unknown/other, 7%.[38][39]
It seems to me that the Alt-Right-HBD folk, believing in the evolutionary principle of survival of the fittest, in the genetic and therefore immutable nature of intelligence, and that IQ is an accurate measure of intelligence and therefore of Darwinian fitness, must conclude that we whites, to better the species, should stop breeding and allow the more advanced species to supplant us. I await their acclamation for presenting this prescient and admirable case.
(A skeptic might note that the phenomenal achievement of the Asians belonged until recently to Jews, whose genetically immutable IQ seems to have fallen precipitately while the genetically immutable IQ of the Asians has risen in an huge genetic shift without benefit of selective pressure. But let’s not ruin a good story by thinking about it. )
“white Americans are to my knowledge the only ones to deliberately submerge themselves racially.”
FAKE NEWS.
“We” didn’t do anything. A very tiny number of political elites that deliberately lied to the American people opened our borders and intentionally ignored enforcement of all laws regarding immigration in order to deliberately submerged us. We weren’t asked, there was no plebiscite, no demand for the alterations and no one heeded any calls for stopping the invasion except to destroy those who opposed it socially and economically.

This isn’t about IQ any more than it is about skin color. Every group has a range of variables in every aspect of their psychology, intellect and physiology. It is the commonalities in each sub-group that matters, Fred.
It’s like a person going to a restaurant and being told what they are going to have for dinner by the waitress and not letting them know how much it’s going to cost until after the meal. It winds up being something you hate, you get food poisoning and it cost ten times more than you’ve ever paid for a meal before and now you are a nasty, hateful person if you don’t tell people it was what you had hoped for all along.
Excellent analogy HSF, made me laugh. And I needed a good laugh.
ILC2, Take a look at your shriveled dick.
El Retardo, You want to suck my what ??
The Asians have the same “people problems” as the rest of us. Now, the US has a terrible combination of idiots, subversives, ideological fiends, spies and control freaks running their country. I can easily see CWII breaking out as the power-maddened try to hold onto power.
The Chinese have their Han majority. They also have an Uizghur problem, along with a few more, and their neighbors pretty much hate / distrust them, considering the current imperialist ambitions in the South China Sea.
The Indians are a melange of subgroups, several of which still resent each other. The British unified them with a common language and utilities, which means they can now understand how much they resent each other, in a common language.
The Russians are also highly intelligent, but have Chechen and other challenges to unity.
Racial intelligence is limited by jealousy, resentment and all the other human weaknesses. Globalism is now suspect by everyone but the US and European intelligentsia. The Master Race is a far way away.
Asians? It’s in the culture…and the rice.
white rice?yellow rice?brown rice?
I know a lot about this. I was ‘gifted’ in math – well pretty good. Went to an engineering school when I was 16. Worked my ass off – wasn’t that ‘gifted’. Then got a MS in Comp Sci by the time I was 22.
The Indians and Asians have a different mind set – while I understood higher math – these guys memorized it. They can’t apply it very well and have horrible personalities.
Yup… Fred’s entire article fails to comprehend that intelligence is irrelevant without motivation and ability to apply… and that the culture of the population has as much to do with success as raw intelligence. Work ethic, social standards, etc.
Fred is sounding like he’s long passed peak Fred.
Well said, Razzle. And his hatred of white americans is becoming boring as hell.
People that fall for Feminism aren’t smart no matter what their IQ score.
He’s just butt-hurt from his “love the beaners” spanking he took the other day, now conceding they’re almost as dumb as niggers.
Now he’s gonna be almost as butt-hurt when he finds out that being a human calculator with slant eyes does not an independent innovator make.
Resorting to Hollywood? Really? Figures!
I will grossly simply here, but yes asians are more intelligent than whites, but they lack something that whites have. Due to the constant warfare in Europe over centuries, whites are far more aggressive and organized then other races.
Reminds me of the old phrase, when blacks riot, neighborhoods burn. When whites riot, continents burn.
Keep underestimating the opposition. That always works out well.
Last thing me I looked, China was graduating more engineers each year than the US has in total. Each year. Uh-oh.
I keep hearing that “but those grads have no imagination”, etc.
Alrighty then. I do not see them graduating many art history majors. I do see them sending their kids off to the world’s best schools to study science, math, business.
Asai is going to kick the western world’s ass if it does not wake up soon.
Gee, maybe you gave the best reasin for isolationism I’ve seen in a long-ass time.
I guess it would be a helluva bet to see who would survive the longest if those of us who choose the continent we were born on, took it back and cut off all the international leeches from their milk-and-honey.
I’d choose the FREE States over any other country on that bet. Without the corruption of the Hindus and their sycophants, and free of the vampirical sucking of internationalists, there will be no better country, again.
Too bad so few realize the bloody road to get back there. And those that did and fled won’t be welcomed back.
Whoever is down voting me on this must be southern European. Dumbasses.
Emotion is what counts LLpoh,not facts.
BTW,who needs imagination to engineer things when they can just buy our stuff and reverse engineer it?
Fred misses it again. IQ does not a society make. Does the society promote inquiry or supress it. Does it promote static classes or not. Does it value innovation or stifle it? Does it promote private property or elevate other values?
China and Japan while at one time having superior societies turned inward and lost their relative positions to more energetic societies. This is happening today to Western societies due to the draining of moral, spiritual, and traditional values to be replaced by those of Caligula.
I’d rather partner with a guy of average intelligence but gifted with a strong work ethic, determination, and the spirit of craftsmanship than an Einstein, who is a smug, lazy, self satisfied snowflake.
Think about it. Who would you rather have at your side?
Ferg says: “I’d rather partner with a guy of average intelligence but gifted with a strong work ethic, determination, and the spirit of craftsmanship than an Einstein, who is a smug, lazy, self satisfied snowflake.”
Like how often do you see the former these days? Almost never. These days you get smug, lazy self-satisfied snowflakes who sure aren’t Einsteins by the millions.
Face it as a people Americans of European descent are intentionally being breed out of existance thanks to liberal and conservative policies on everything from immagration , education , foreign and domestic !
The real owners of America have gotten everything they wanted and look around now retirement and health care plans leave average people wiped out and parents are left struggling with little time or money to pursue education opportunities that are rammed up minorities asses daily regardless of the failure rate !
You need look no further than the occupant of the Oval Office the last 8 years generally a failure his entire life but affirmative action and fear of being tagged racist keeps everybody in line and telling him how great he is , here have a Nobel prize for nothing ! Our public education has been turning out failure at great expense and shaming white students because of their race as deviancy is defined down to a new low at every challange and any question concerning it is challenged as racist
Culture, the Asians you are reading about have parents who keep them working at it without distractions like sports and parties. We live amongst a lot in a NYC suburb and see it.
Somebody tell me what “white” means. For some, it seems to mean northern europeans only. By the book, it means anyone who isn’t a negro, indigenous west indian or asian (plus a few minor subgroups). Last time I looked, dot indians and central asians are white (indo-european). So are arabs, phoenicians, berbers and pretty much everyone north of the sahara. All of the above, for what it’s worth, share similar intelligence test scores.
Z – not so fast. Southern Europeans (Greeks, Italians, Yugoslavs, etc.) are dumb as rocks.
Ever own an Italian car? They ain’t engineers.
Oh, I don’t know:
Ducati, Maserati and Lamborghini sound like WASP names to me.
Is that kinda like: ” all blacks look the same to me?”
Star-I had a Fiat 128 sport back in the 70’s, good car til a guy ran into me and totaled it.
About twelve years ago, one of my daughters had the opportunity to do some teaching in a Chinese public middle school. This was in a large industrial city in the northern part of the country.
There were 60 students in the class. The one-child policy had created a class with few girls. Their day consisted of filling out workbook pages. They were not permitted to ask questions in class. There was a two-hour lunch break, when they all walked home and back, and then they stayed at school until 5:00 p.m. They had heavy homework of more workbook pages. The primary motivation to do well in school was to prevent the humiliation of parents. Parents who wanted their kids to go to college would get more workbooks for them to work on during vacation breaks.
This routine is not conducive to creative thought, obviously, but it is effective training in respecting authority, keeping one’s nose to the grindstone, and protecting the family’s reputation. (I have often wished my daughter could return to that school to find out if educational practice has changed.)
This cultural background no doubt influences Asian-American families in the USA. I have spoken here before of the scholarship work I do with local high school senior girls. The tops in their classes are always the children of immigrants – Indian or Asian. Their parents are invariably medical professionals. These kids are extraordinarily gifted, but what is striking is how wholesome they are and how resistant they are to the popular culture. For one thing, they are too busy with all their extracurricular activities (e.g., working with the city council, teaching a language class, assisting a university professor in bioengineering research – for some reason, never cheerleading). They also study like mad to get those A+’s in their numerous advanced placement classes. The most profound difference is their attitudes towards their parents and siblings; they exhibit extreme love and respect for all. I spoke with one of the girls just before she went away to college, and inquired about her summer activities. She said she had really enjoyed spending a lot of time with her 11-year old brother! These qualities are guarantors of success no matter what the aims. Values and culture are probably more powerful than I.Q.
Fred forgets that Whitey is the best when it comes to killing. The future does not belong to those with the highest IQ, it belongs to the strong. All of history says so.
Oops, another entry in a long line of cerebral faux pas pieces from Fred. Possibly due to tequila induced frontal lobe damage. Don’t worry, Fred, we’ll win once again which will enable you to have a safe environment so you can keep talkin’ smack about high IQ Asians and how they own the future over Whitey.
History could rhyme in the form of a new, modern equivalent to gun powder that the Chinks won’t quite know what to do with. We’ll show ’em what to do with it. Once again.
I thought I was done interpreting English compositions for basement people.
Fred went over 3 or 4 theories of intelligence. The most wildly popular among tards, because it requires no effort from them, is the notion that other people’s achievements reflect on their personal worth because the worthless morans just happen to share imaginary generalized features with the European greats.
The scientists and inventors who perhaps had large bulbous scientist noses or thick red hair are transformed by an idealized vision of ‘whiteness’ – even the Messiah is depicted as a blond, blue-eyed white man. Trump himself is idealized by sycophant cartoonists into a Robert Redford look-alike.
The point of the article is that no matter how you look at it, despite the smug conceit of some white folks, the statistics show a different reality. The Chinks have it.
Americanos of all colors and creeds are sucking hind titty when it comes to matching reality with their fantasy. Americans can insist all day that they are the heirs of all white achievements – fuck the Europeans. When they can’t dispute Fred’s argument, they go ad hominem on his ass.
White tards can insist all they want that they will go to heaven en masse, (except for the non-white Americans who are not really Americans anyway) wishing won’t make it so; as my HS history teacher said, you don’t get an A cause your a nice person, the woods are full of nice people.
It’s sad, too. I figured I was only dumber than whites and blacks. Now there’s a whole new strata of brainiacs to look up to.
Edit: deleted
I’d like to inspire LEGO to develop a kit for adults; the Trump Wall would sell great. Action figures to be sold separately would include mustachioed Mexicans and White immigration agents. Additional Somali and Islamic dudes would fit also.
“…The Alt-Right believes that the whites are innately–i.e., genetically–superior to all other races…”
This statement is not true. You might can find someone , somewhere that says this but it’s not the alt-right position. They do believe that there are performance differences in populations but that’s not the same thing as saying their superior.
So all the rest is just knocking down the straw Man you propped up.
Indeed.
I’m not sure how “mainstream” the brand of white nationalism promulgated by Richard Spencer’s National Policy Institute is within the alt-right, but this URL from NPI says:
“The Oriental peoples of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore have the highest IQ, 105. About the same IQ is obtained from ethnic Orientals in the United States. The high IQ of Orientals is manifested in their considerable educational attainments in math and science. In the United States they have higher average educational qualifications and earnings than Europeans and are over-represented in elite colleges and in the professions. Because they do so well and have low rates of crime, they have become known as the “model minority” and are excluded from the affirmative action programs that give preferential treatment to blacks and Hispanics in admission to colleges and employment.” (http://www.npiamerica.org/research/category/racial-differences-in-intelligence-personality-and-behavior)
I’m not going to write “pseudo-scientific” words on which race is superior or smarter, but I will say this. For a bit now, I’ve been reading stuff on “race realism,” and know a bit about The Bell Curve. I’ve seen charts which lay out average IQs per country.
If these ideas are correct, then much of what the article says is true, and that would explain not only the overall success of East Asians in the U.S., but also their near total absence from prisons and crime statistics. Surely, their culture plays a huge role. But given that modern-day Japan and South Korea (and even China, despite its corrupt Communist Party) are generally safe places with low crime rates, white Americans who are not opposed to a few East Asian families as neighbors likely take this stance not out of tolerance or out of a love for diversity.
Rather, they surmise (usually correctly) that the presence of East Asian children/teenagers will not place their own children or their families or property in danger.
Perhaps, thus, IQ is related to the behavior of certain other people groups (criminal behaviors, that is).
As a smart white dude who is good at math, I only have one question, when do I get to bang an oriental chic?
When you learn all about pie.
Trav, if you can recite pi to 1000 places without a cribsheet, you can maybe get that chic China girl.
They are hard to come by. China dudes have to wed dead girls just to get some poon.
Not so sure, a I know a Prog-Jerk who nabbed a real nice china doll. Both are now Cali-wags.
The real problem with the lemming, white race is with their penchant for self loathing and self destruction, mainly exhibited as Progressivism. Marx, Lennon, Engels, Senger, Alinsky, etc. bring us down. The future for us doesn’t look bright. It does for the Asians…….except that I have noticed that they too have a predisposition for the Left. They may rise to the top, but will fail too, if they do not wise up. The rest are worse, and the entire human race is doomed. Jews and true Christians may have the only way out…of this world. Space aliens are waiting to take over this world.
Teatard, I have no idea what you just tried to say. I kinda doubt you know either.
When did PT become Teatard?
I guess as soon as I noticed that he’s a GOPtard.
That was evident from the git-go when he signed on as Mr Patriot Act and then tried to play it off by adding the Tea for Tea-Party.
I wrote off Barney Bailey for the same reason, who the heck volunteers himself as a circus clown? Only our newest BB, Barney Fife Bailey.
Don’t let Morris Dees know about this.
