Asians see a good thing and go after it. They make their kids study at school, do their home work, respect their teacher, set proper goals in life. Fathers set a worthy example for their family.
Avoid teenage pregnancies, avoid drug use, respect the law/police, fathers don't leave their wife/kids, are ashamed if they take welfare, don't blame one other race for their problems.
In short, they strive to become proud Americans who make their parents and America as a nation proud instead of constantly whining about how hard life is.
@@PeteH0121 Let's not overdramatize what author is saying. "Proud American" is not even on the top 10 of why some Asian americans work like they do. Just following expectations set before them at a young age, making your parents proud, being made to come home right after school, fear of not getting a high enough paying job, and the shame of it. The goal is on getting that job and proving yourself. And while it keeps you from being a burden on society, it is a shallow kind of goal.. Sometimes with the focused emphasis on academics, you do miss out on developing social skills and leadership skills and compassion for the greater community that other ethnic groups may have b/c they put more into their passions and their relationships. Generally speaking.
I experienced racism in the late 70’s for being an American Hispanic but I never let it bring me down or my love for America!!! I still succeeded because of hard work!!!!

Americans can barely keep a relationship going let alone raise a family together lol all it takes is for 1 partner to cheat and the child will suffer their whole life from the break up.
I remember a front page article in the San Diego union in the late eighties or nineties. The boss of the university of CA in San Diego was speaking out in regard to the high admission number of Asian students. He said " We are a University. If we don't want to loose our international credibility we have to accept the most qualified applicants. If those applicants are mostly Asian then the problem is not with the Asian students or the University. The problem is with the low standards of American applicants that can't live up to our international requirements".
You mean "...lose (not loose) our international credibility..." plus better punctuation. Charles Murray really cuts to the chase, and ambition always matters, too. Some people just don't have much.
The amount of cheating from those countries to get accepted though. It rivals that of white privilege to get accepted to the universities hahaha. I think the problem is privilege took over skill. The privilege got into the schools with connections and took spots away from Americans who deserved them, leaving them to squander their days in poverty when they could of been great scientists.
When South Vietnam fell to the Commies, my family sponsored a Vietnamese family. They lived with us, day in an day out. OMG, did they work! They got jobs, any jobs, saved and went to school. Today, they own businesses and real estate and their kids are all professionals.
Oklahoma City has a thriving Asian District thanks, in large part, to Vietnamese refugees who came here in the late '70s and early '80s. I attended school with several of them and got to know their families. Everything you said is 100% truth. On average, I'd say that our Asian residents are, far and away, more successful than their white counterparts here. But every time liberals here (we have more than a few in OKC) complain about the plight of local minorities, they never, EVER bring up our Asian population. For some strange reason.....🤦♂️😁🤷♂️

Yeup. And when I confront POC online about my experiences getting beat up for being the wrong color - they tell me that they still can't be racist. They can be bigoted... but never racist. There's another word for ignorant that applies.
I have experienced massive anti-white discrimination including college teachers standing in front of the class saying the world would be a better place without white people (white teachers saying this). As well as being threatened with assault for going into the wrong neighborhood. And when I report these crimes with evidence to the DOJ civil rights and all these anti-racism groups- none of them care if the victim is white male. I guess I should put a dress on. Not only would discrimination against me become illegal they'd probably make me a captain in the Navy.
In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

It comes down to qualification and that's all that should matter. If the NBA happens to be 75% black, then thats fine if they are the most qualified. If Asains study hard to be accepted into Ivy League schools, them they deserve it.
I've been saying for quite some time that if the push for "equity" wins out (meaning equal outcomes, rather than equal opportunity, is mandated) that the last bastion of meritocracy will be sports at the elite level.
Strange how the Leftists never advocate lowering the bar to allow white/hispanic basketball players a better chance of making the grade in the NBA yet such a practice is widespread the other way around in business and educational opportunities.
@@PeteH0121 I would argue most job opportunities are based on connection instead of merit. There are a small percentage of people that get jobs based on merit because they were exceptional in interviews, or have an exceptional skillset. Lots of white people get positions based on the perception they are better. I would argue the same for black applicants. Sometimes people just pick any black person instead of qualified black people. Jobs don't recruit like sports and that's why athletic analogies don't make sense.
@@TheSpokenWizard I have not found in my life that my job opportunities were based on connections at all. This may be the case for certain kinds of jobs at certain levels. But even then if you get a job because of connections but can’t do the job you are unlikely to keep it. In a tight job market knowing someone who already works at the company may get you an interview. They same may be true if you are member of a minority they want to hire. In my life it was sometimes luck that I happened to apply for a job that had just open up because someone just quit. I could say I lost out on jobs because they wanted someone younger or prettier but I can’t say MOST opportunities are based on looks. So I doubt most opportunities are based on connections.
There are plenty of people like that. I'm an immigrant myself and can't stop saying how amazing this country is. I come from western Europe, so definitely a first world country. I have lived in 4 different countries in Europe, ( Spain, France, UK and Finland ) and now in the US. And definitely integration and opportunities here are way ahead compared to the places I have lived in. The problem is media does not show these people, they normally air the contrary, which fits the agenda they are trying to push.
While he combats the narrative that the US is currently systematically racist and asians have been descriminated against he fails to clearly distinguish the differences in the two minorities discrimination. (As this would lessen his argument as a whole) Furthermore, while I disagree that america is currently systematically racist, history shows us that it was for a very lengthy amount of time. To say that there are zero lasting effects of this past racist system is incorrect. In fact, the negative cultural impact was devistating. Thus, today's African American population are indeed victims but also posses the faculties to do good and work hard towards success generally.
Yeah that's one of the legs for success. Trust me and the wife is active in our son's education. I study and show my my son that hard work pays off and that reading books is critical as well.
EnderXeno1993 - I could be wrong, but, I am willing to bet the dumbarses who wholeheartedly go along with the narrative and the breakup of the nuclear family in America, once came from one of those families and had a bad experience where they wound up hating one or both of their parents.... so they joined the 'cult' that hates America too...
Asian Americans grow up in nuclear family. I have a AA friend and his goals have always been about education, financial and family stability. He grew up in China in a poor family of seven and studied really hard and came here and was accepted to miss state and earned an engineering degree. Got a great job, married to AA woman and has two children who are straight A students and will go to some college one day. Great family!
Davi Clar Concerns with education, family, and financial stability are fairly universal in settled (i.e. non-nomadic) human societies. Besides, they have to do with natural self-interest, so there is nothing particularly noble about them. These are very ORDINARY virtues which need no special praise. Basically, the idea is to male a lot of money, in the hope that it will bring contentment. You seem convinced that, if one jumps through the right hoops, the outcome will be 'great', whatever that is supposed to mean. I would be interested to know what is the CONTENT of these people's lives, apart from material acquisition and academic success. Are they Christians, or are they not? Jesus says that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.' He also said, '...what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?' So one's attitude toward Him matters far more in the long run than one's worldly accomplishments.
@@marcusonesimus3400 Black Americans aren't nomadic, mostly Christians, yet they lag behind everyone else even non-Christian Asian immigrants. It's not about "nomadic" or Christian.
@@mychevysparkevdidntcatchfi1489 I never stated that black American were nomadic, did I? Lern to reed. What is 'lagging'? Define. Is it invariably a bad thing? If so, why? Perhaps you 'lag' in the development of certain valuable qualities, without realizing it. I can think of plenty of black Americans who did not or do not lag in excellence, in fields which they pursue. You sound like a bigot 'par excellence', and there is nothing excellent about that. A black American Christian is PRIVILEGED, because he or she will spend eternity with JESUS. Those who refuse to repent and believe in Jesus, regardless of ethnicity, are doomed. (John 3:18) 'He who believes in Him is not judged; but he who does not believed has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.' Do you consider it a good thing to be 'advanced' on the path to hell?
A black man was teaching a class I was taking in Prescott AZ. He related a story of getting a flat tire at 5:30am when he first drove into AZ after a lifetime living in northen FL. He said it was about 18* outside and too cold for him to get out and change it. So he went to sleep. He was awakened by a highway patrolman knocking on his window. At first he was nervous but explained to the officer he had a flat tire and it was too cold to change it. The officer asked if he had a spare. He said he didn't know; that he'd only bought the truck to drive cross-country to his new job. The white officer located the spare under the truck bed, had to lay on his back to lower it, then got out his own jack and proceeded to change the tire while my instructor sat warm in his truck! Afterwards the officer smiled and said, "Kinda sweaty and dusty now. I Guess I need to go home and put on a fresh shirt! Welcome to Arizona!" The man was in shock! "I'm 55 years old. I lived my whole life in Florida and nothing like that has ever happened to me before! I located that officer's substation and sent an email to his commander explaining what happened, what this officer had done for me, and telling him it was now my intention to retire in Arizona and never leave!" There are good people of all colors everywhere.

Kenny Xu, you are right. If many Asian Americans have flourished and have succeeded, then race is not the issue. Meritocracy, yes! Gratitude, absolutely!
Makes me wonder if maybe the current administration had been chosen on their merit instead of their diversity quota... maybe America wouldn't be in such a state of crises and chaos!
Depends on which Asian group you highlight and their location; the ones that endured 250 years of slavery and 150 years of jim crow discrimination did not do as well.
@@olliemck60 They conveniently ignore the countries that have been ravaged by colonization, especially in South East Asia, such as Indonesia and Thailand
Not exactly. He's trying to push his book. Now, if he wasn't trying to push a book, you'd have an argument. Do you actually know what Critical Race Theory is? I dont agree with it. But do you actually know why you're opposed too it?
I haven't even listened to the whole video yet, but the most important thing I've heard him say so far is this: "It has to do with culture." By blaming race and ignoring culture, people give up their power to do anything about their discrimination. I don't deny discrimination, But even though there might be cultures formed around race, we each have the ability to form our own individual culture or join other cultures. Race is what we look like, but culture is what we do about it.

He forgot to mention how Asian parents hold their kids accountable. So accountable that the kid is guilty before proven innocent. "It's not fair, I want a fair trial..." *slipper flies by head "Sorry, mom..."
I agree that victimization won't get anyone anywhere in life, but not all minorities have equal paths to success. There are several minority groups- Asians, Indians, and recently African immigrants who do very well in America. They have strong nuclear families, strong work ethics, and even when they live in poor, impoverished settings, their kids seem to keep out of trouble. This difference is largely due to a cultural component. However, I want to point out that for Black Americans, 400 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow have destroyed many Black communities in urban settings. Historical redlining created every major ghetto in metropolitan cities, then mass incarceration destroyed the nuclear family. When you couple poverty with violence and drugs, I think it's challenging to say to a teenager raised by a single mother, surrounded by crime, drugs, and violence, to just work their way to the top and be successful. Most people reach success because of a strong mentor or positive role model or community to push them forward. Therefore, I think it's unfair to compare Asian minorities, who come to this country voluntarily, many maintain their language or culture, as well as the family system, to Black Americans who didn't come to this country voluntarily, and also had much of their customs, language, and culture stripped away from them. And even after the Civil War, faced massive systemic oppression by Whites, so much so that you can analyze from history most of the major areas that were segregated during Jim Crow have not recovered economically for the most part today. So while I have strong critiques for CRT, I think you have to find that balance between holding people accountable and understanding that past historic systemic racism still negatively impacts poor Black communities today.
@@wellnessforbodymindspirit108 So why was the black family doing better in the 70s before the welfare state? It is because they had a better culture and more responsible parenting. Slavery has nothing to do with it. It is the welfare state and other crappy liberal policies. They were actually better off during the Jim Crow era than they are now. Explain how that is possible if slavery is to blame? Democrats and liberal welfare policies have incentivized the black and even poor white families to depend on the state and not worry about being responsible or strive for anything better. You should look into Thomas Sowell he explains this in great detail.
@@wellnessforbodymindspirit108 I agree with this. I dislike CRT because it does portray everyone as victims and has unintended consequences as is demonstrated by the above video, but people can't sweep their country's sordid history under the rug and pretend it was never a problem. But then on the flip side, I also have no idea what the hell would make it right. I have this intuition that continuing to talk about things in the past that are overly complex and have no clear direction to a suitable solution won't really get us anywhere and it just amplifies tensions and further drives a wedge between people, but it's also not really fair to not acknowledge it.
Any clear thinking person must support Kenny Xu in this thesis and broad observation about our culture which so often gets things exactly backwards and upside down. In fact I support him 10,000% and have been saying much the same thing for many years (and I am not Asian). Plus, it is very important to add that Mr. Xu is not angry or bitter about the disservice so often directed at Asian Americans. Instead, he speaks intelligently and clearly, expresses much gratitude to the countless benefits of being in America, and he is the complete gentleman. Kudos, and I hope he sells millions of copies of his book on this topic. Like it or not, CRT is almost a textbook definition of racism.
Depends on which Asian group you highlight and their location; the ones that endured 250 years of slavery and 150 years of jim crow discrimination did not do as well. And CRT does define racism, which is why racists want to smear it.

Thus, one could say "my investments have increased a hundred fold in a year's time", as a one hundred fold increase would be equivalent to 10,000%.

If 43% of Harvard was Asian based on their hard work, aptitude and merit, I see no problem with that. Other races need to stop playing victim and work hard to achieve success.
The problem with this is that education is open to the world (and so is immigration). Whites are only 8% of the world's population. If anything whites should get affirmitive action spots (they already do in the form of legacy admissions but that is only for rich white kids- I'm talking about intelligent white people from disadvantaged backgrounds or middle class whites).

Thank you. My mom, came from Taiwan,with only a 4th grade education. Held back because she was a poor woman. Came to the US and with her considerable intellect and hard work got her piece of the American dream and owned her own business. A shining example of an inconvenient truth.
Your mother achieved the American dream with effort and sacrifice, I congratulate her, the problem is that the present generation has the wrong concept of the American dream, your mother would in fact be singled out as oppressor because leftists consider merchants and business owners "petty bourgeois "In other words, an exploiter of the proletarian class.
When I was a grad student at a top school in the US, I remember hearing a conversation between a Chinese-American and a Jewish-American. The Chinese-American said "You think having a Jewish mother forcing you to study is tough. You should try a Chinese mother!"
Vietnamese refuges needed only half a generation to have their sons and daughters succeed as lawyers, doctors, engineers, accountants and successful and contributing members of society. Why? hard work and no safety net such as "Affirmative Action". They just got off their butts without complaining, winging and blaming others. There is a lesson there if you can see it!
The Vietnamese were never held in slavery, red-lined out of neighborhoods, prevented from voting, or live under Jim Crow. They did not migrate here until after the Voting Rights Act and other anti-discrimination laws were already enacted. The racial stereotypes they encountered were often times positive not negative. I say that NOT to take anything away from the stellar job the Vietnamese have done, but they did start from the same place as African-Americans either.
Good point. They also were deprived the fruits of their labor for 300 years and raised in a culture that pushed over and over that they are second class citizens. You're funny.😂😂😂

Marxism cannot deny its culture...so true. Thank you to you and all the other the people who are speaking out against the root issues of CRT. This radical approach (from the latin word Radix, to deal with the root) is so crucial. Culture comes from the root word "cult", which in latin is "cultis" and means "a form of worship". So what do the Marxist/Communist/Socialist worship? They create idols with their intellect. They exalt themselves and exalt others who agree with them. Karl Marx's best friend Bakunin had this to say about Karl Marx in his 1924 work called "Works": "One has to worship Marx in order to be loved by him. One has to fear him in order to be tolerated by him. Marx is extremely proud, up to dirt and madness." So whose the demigod now? A man who lived teaching ideas which through his disciples have oppressed nations, killed millions upon millions, destroyed economies, and whose ideology advances through manipulation and intimidation with the goal of domination. Can Mordecai Karl Marx, living amidst the evil in the world, solve the evil in the world when he is capable of penning words like his poem "Human Pride": "With disdain I will throw my gauntlet, Full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant, Whose fall will not stifle my ardour, Then will I wander godlike and victorious, Through the ruins of the world, And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator." I think people need to understand the author of Marxism/Communism/Socialism before it accepts the remade emperor's new clothes from Derrick Bell branded as "Critical Race Theory and his protoge Kimberlee Williams Crenshaw's Intersectionality. the fruit is in the seed. The intellectual Elite can wrap it up, mold it, shape it, feed it, grow it, share it, and even rebrand it but CRT is the same seed producing the same fruit as Karl Marx. An orange cannot produce an apple. A thorn cannot produce wheat. The fruit is in the seed. The moment a culture is built upon the seed of pride (I can do what I want", and mixed with the seed of arrogance (no one can tell me what to do), and then you water it with "the end justifies the means"...the only product is rebellion, revolution, and a bloody mess (Robspierre, if alive would probably agree.) So let's look at the dying words of Lenin, "I have committed a great error. My nightmare is to have the feeling that I'm lost in an ocean of blood from the innumerable victims. It is to late to return. To save our country, Russia, we would have needed men like Francis of Assisi..." Our constitution is built upon the antithesis of Marxism. the two cannot coexist. We need to stand and defend the principles which built this nation and though imperfect as it may be, is still the greatest nation on the planet and of all history.
I love the way this segment really delves into the issue and brings up a lot of very specific arguments against this critical crap. I come out of it feeling like I know a lot about it. There's nothing racist about celebrating this country as white and to fight to keep it that way forever through culture and laws. As another said, some people's culture and genetics are different and therefore they should be disqualified from making important decisions and it should be up to the rest of us superior people to decide what happens to them. How is that racist?
I agree with the author 100%. Hard work, strong family values at home, value in education are at the core of the tools your child will need to succeed in their lifetime. Succeeding in America is still possible today despite all of the problems young people face today.

Exactly. I get that it's much harder when the cards are stacked against you...and subcultures are hard to break esp when you only know what you're raised around (i.e. fatherless, crime infested communities due to poverty). But at the end of the day...if individuals in those situations can see the opportunity that America gives them...they can break those self-imposed shackles. It's a nuanced issue, but yes...Kenny is absolutely right.
Exactly! What about the Iranian Americans, the Armenian Americans, Italian Americans, the Arab Americans? All minorities who thrive in this nation. Totally true, it's a cultural issue, not racial. Get back to God and family values and the problems will fix themselves.
America is built on anti-black racism, not anti-Asian, anti-Arab, anti-Armenian, anti-Hispanic or anti anything else. They know there is a lower class of people they will be assigned a place above, and won't be targets of resource deprivation and police brutality, so these other groups who already harbor anti-black sentiments before they get here, get right in line with the status quo.
Agreed. Those that see racism at every turn are, themselves, racist. Holding your hand out begging for "free" stuff, not accepting their own failures, and whining about being victims are poor excuses for human beings.
@@ladyecho7761 I guess it's harder for black people who never had a choice in the matter. Asians weren't enslaved for almost 400 years in North America.

We need to unite as Americans and stop allowing ourselves to be divided by politicians and political parties. We live in the best country ever created and have more opportunities than any other people on earth. All this division will be the end of us if it keeps up.

It's easy to constantly complain about the things that are not great about America. But when I think about where I started as a kid - in an immigrant family that started with nothing and then think about where I am today - successful and close to early retirement, I feel so grateful and proud of being American. None of us should take it for granted.
I understand... In Cambodia, I believe spanking by the stick is legal. I am not so sure whether you can understand how many in this country need to tolerate nonsense from CPS. I don't blame many African-Americans' frustrations when Harvard is responsible for their nonsense research efforts saying that spanking is detrimental to mental health of a child. The massive increase of crime recently is proof that Harvard's research is seriously flawed. After all, many at Harvard can afford $3000 per month of childcare while the poor can't.
I learn a lot from my Asian friend growing up who’s been teased and made fun of with very little English but today he’s got the last laugh with his million dollar company.. they work hard and succeed…Americans gotta stop using excuses!
In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

@Politolog poor white, rich white, somewhere in the middle white, did mommy and daddy attend college or that college, current household income, location, oh wait your white and american...ok you go in the "average you're not getting accepted pile"...yup whites get it too.
Well said, sir - I admire the work ethic of many Asians I have met in business. Those who are willing to work the hardest should succeed. Old white guy speaking, and I prefer build a great society with like minded people such as you - I don't care where we all come from.
Korean American, born and raises in the USA and never faced racism until I was forcibly bussed to an inner city school. I never knew I had "slant eyes" until 5th grade...
When I was in University, I wanted to get into an Asian study group, and couldn't ... they were awesome, as a community minded study group ... they schooled each other if one was experiencing problems, so that they ALL succeeded. Didn't see this in other groups ... saw "copying" work or cheating, not "mentoring" each other for the better. We can learn from other cultures.
@Secretary of State what difference did it make. 1. Language barrier. 2. I couldn't force someone to accept me. 3. The Asians were very community minded. 4. LANGUAGE See ghe pattern. I didn't take it personally. I had friends in the group, and after they had their life long buddies in it, I was still an outsider. End story. Who were you going to whine to? That's like climbing into your bed, between you and your wife ... 😨😨😨
Say what you will about the China, but when they said of America: "No country that penalizes people for intelligence and hard work can last very long", they were absolutely right.
Conservatives think culture equals flags and guns, too bad they aren't the American flags, and they're probably not Made in America guns either. Curious.
But why culture? Where does culture come from? Why so some races develop pro-intellectual cultures and some develop anti-intellectual ones? Could it be that they are genetically hardwired to prefer certain cultures over others? Why is natural selection only skin deep?
I have no problem with Harvard or any University being 43% Asian, or 43% anything as long as the people they admit have earn it and everyone has the same chance based on ability not race or gender or any other superficial quality. Race should not be a factor.

He knows that a segment of the population is willing to pay money or prop up any weak argument as long as it falls into their very small window of preconcieved reality, and even better so if it is a minority presenting it, because we have so few minorities who are willing to go against all the data just to hurt their own people.

The important thing is to treat all persons equally, irrespective of race: "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights . . ." and so forth.
b unangst Having two godly parents in the home confers special advantages, but even that does not guarantee 'success'. Nor is it utterly impossible for single parents to raise, by the grace of God, 'successful' children. For the race is not always to the swift. But what do you mean by 'success'? Earthly riches and glory? Jesus said that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'
marcus onesimus yes there are no guarantees. Thomas Sowell has been referencing all this clear evidence for years. Two parents in the home gives the same huge advantage no matter what race you are. There are many studies and the data is clear.
@@bunangst8415 It's also worth noting that in most Asian cultures it's normal for grandparents to live with their children and grandchildren. So oftentimes Asian children will have 3 or 4 parental figures in their life.
@@bunangst8415 When did I actually denigrate the two-parent family? Never! I grew up in one myself, and remain grateful for that. I only asserted that there are many exceptions to the rule. Is that too hard to accept? Read the 18th chapter of Ezekiel if you are inclined to believe that early environment automatically predicts adult character and behavior. Try to avoid using the word 'data' like a mantra, as do acolytes of the cult of Scientism. Well, I used to study physical anthropology as a pastime, and can tell you that the concept of 'race' is NOT well articulated from a scientific standpoint. 'Race' as discussed in America (for example) has more to do with mythology and social perception than with biological reality. There is one thing which we know for certain, and here DNA science tends to converge with longstanding Biblical revelation. Humans of all 'races' share common ancestral lineage.

I'm an asian american that went to a high school that let's just say was in the poorer part of town. My family was always of the lower income bracket, but I didn't let that stop me. I became valedictorian of my graduating class, with a school of 1% asians(literally just me and 2 others). Y'know what people said while I gave my speech? "Oh of course it's the asian kid." Judging me on my race discredits the amount of effort I put in. No I didn't get any free bonus points for being asian, it's the opposite. MLK said it best, judge not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. It goes both ways.
Well, objective fact according to Experts/Studied/Everything-valid is that some White have indeed manipulated History, hence why Students often have gotten Misinformation. Racism is not a ‚Ever done learning about it’-Topic anyway, so what? Sunday Towns and what is generally known about them are a good Example for this. 'Illuminatinaughtii' just made a video named 'Sunday Towns / Prism of the Past' about it.
I've made jokes like that. To be honest it isn't really to discredit your hard work it's literally that I recognize that on average an Asian American will work harder towards their goals. Really being stereotyped as hard working and smart is probably the best stereotype any ethnicity could hope for lol. I understand no one likes being stereotyped though so there is that.

Not just Asians, also Indians and recent African immigrants from Kenya and Nigeria. All of them are succeeding because they keep their families together and put in work.
As an American whose parents immigrated from India, this country has been nothing but good to me. I hate that so many are losing their pride for this nation. It makes me sick. I have always said this, but America is the greatest nation on this earth. Every country has shortcomings, but that shouldn’t overshadow all the good this country offers. My parents grew up in a rural village, worked hard, went to college then immigrated here and are now doing well for themselves. This is the story of most of our family and friends, many of whom are now multimillionaires. No other country can claim as many success stories as the United States. What often differentiates Asians from other minority communities is the dedication to family, education, and hard work, as this young man said. This country is not a charity organization.

We don't expect host country to adopt our ways but over time good aspects of immigrants culture gets adopted and becomes american value.

Growing up in the Deep South, it’s crystal clear to me that culture is the deciding factor to success. My black friends who had a stable culture at home were successful in school and beyond. My black friends who had unstable cultures at home are leading unstable and challenging lives. Stability and culture are the keys to success, NOT race.
Agree 100%. Stabiliy and culture. Why are both of these things being undermined and destroyed? What takes their place? What influences our development during our formative years? The state and the education system are bad parents. Social media and corporate MSM are corrosive influences and poor cultural substitutes for family and friends.
So glad you are an authority. Your anecdotes are interesting, but don't speak to the disparities in opportunities that black have in this country. Some of us were certainly luckier than others. Where do you even think the disparities in cultures come from? Ending slavery didn't give everyone a level playing field. You living in the south should be well aware of redlining and the wonderful Dixiecrats who would do anything in their power to keep black people in their place.
@@kprieto2655 My observations growing up in the south and seeing where black and white classmates have ended up decades later in their careers echos what Jordan is saying. I'm non-white myself and faced a fair share of prejudice fwiw. You ask where cultural disparities come from, and most people will agree that they are rooted in past injustices. This still doesn't conclude that we have to level the playing field now and settle every score. The struggle to change the culture is the real battle, not the distribution of the spoils. Some folks think money or quotas will sort everything out and accelerate the attitude change. I really doubt it.
@@kprieto2655 Explain, please, the dynamics of HOW racism leads to single-parent families, leads to a mentality of allowing kids to skip school, or makes for a racial minority to engage in crime and shoot people of their own race ? I'm sure that the decades after the Civil War when racism was more common and more overt, black follks had more two-parent families and better prospects (Historical fact). I'm sure generations of Asians came to the US dirt poor, I am absolutely positive that some were bonded labourers, ie, indentured servants, and I am absolutely sure they were subjected to racism as well, but they seem to have stable families and a work ethic that enabled them to prosper. Let me tell you some secrets, Asians assumed that racism exists everywhere (back in their original country where they were the majority, they were racists too), they don't expect the playing field to be level (because even if you take away racial injustices there'll be plenty of other injustices), they don't ask for hand-outs, and they simply work AROUND the racism, got richer, educated their kids and lifted their lot out of poverty.
As a moderate who leans left and a half Asian myself, I have to agree with this young man-- it's about culture and environment/ expectations, not race.
I would absolutely agree with you but that's where the concept of critical race theory gets a little twisted. I always say it should really be called culture theory instead of race, because that is really what it is addressing, how the history of this country has hurt the African American culture, and how that history has a long lasting impact. And that can be seen throughout the world in similar situations, even if race is not the defining characteristic. It just so happens that in America specifically, those cultural impacts were drawn along lines of color. And therefore, it is kind of a ridiculous argument to say that Asian Americans prove critical race theory wrong because Asian Americans have had a completely different history and experience in this country than African Americans.
I teach ESL to adults, and the Asian students take notes and come to class with questions. I admire them, especially coming from languages so much different from English.
I agree! When I started work here in London, I was the only one who took a lot of notes during training. So when the instructor asked questions after like a pop quiz, it was I who only had all the answers lol and my colleagues were like "hey can i borrow your notes!" lol
I’m also an ESL teacher and my non Asian students do the same. You’re reinforcing an incorrect stereotype. I’ve had hard working and not so hard working students from all backgrounds.

He said " We are a University. If we don't want to loose our international credibility we have to accept the most qualified applicants. If those applicants are mostly Asian then the problem is not with the Asian students or the University. The problem is with the low standards of American applicants that can't live up to our international requirements".
That was then, when common sense - not to mention conscience and ethics - was still common.
You mean "...lose (not loose) our international credibility..." plus better punctuation. Charles Murray really cuts to the chase, and ambition always matters, too. Some people just don't have much.
The problem is that Conservatives constantly cut at public education and only private school kids can get into college now.
The amount of cheating from those countries to get accepted though. It rivals that of white privilege to get accepted to the universities hahaha. I think the problem is privilege took over skill. The privilege got into the schools with connections and took spots away from Americans who deserved them, leaving them to squander their days in poverty when they could of been great scientists.
Too Bad America doesn't fun education the way Asian countries do.
When South Vietnam fell to the Commies, my family sponsored a Vietnamese family. They lived with us, day in an day out. OMG, did they work! They got jobs, any jobs, saved and went to school. Today, they own businesses and real estate and their kids are all professionals.
Oklahoma City has a thriving Asian District thanks, in large part, to Vietnamese refugees who came here in the late '70s and early '80s. I attended school with several of them and got to know their families. Everything you said is 100% truth. On average, I'd say that our Asian residents are, far and away, more successful than their white counterparts here. But every time liberals here (we have more than a few in OKC) complain about the plight of local minorities, they never, EVER bring up our Asian population.
For some strange reason.....🤦♂️😁🤷♂️

Yeup. And when I confront POC online about my experiences getting beat up for being the wrong color - they tell me that they still can't be racist. They can be bigoted... but never racist. There's another word for ignorant that applies.
I have experienced massive anti-white discrimination including college teachers standing in front of the class saying the world would be a better place without white people (white teachers saying this). As well as being threatened with assault for going into the wrong neighborhood. And when I report these crimes with evidence to the DOJ civil rights and all these anti-racism groups- none of them care if the victim is white male. I guess I should put a dress on. Not only would discrimination against me become illegal they'd probably make me a captain in the Navy.
In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

It comes down to qualification and that's all that should matter. If the NBA happens to be 75% black, then thats fine if they are the most qualified. If Asains study hard to be accepted into Ivy League schools, them they deserve it.
I've been saying for quite some time that if the push for "equity" wins out (meaning equal outcomes, rather than equal opportunity, is mandated) that the last bastion of meritocracy will be sports at the elite level.
Strange how the Leftists never advocate lowering the bar to allow white/hispanic basketball players a better chance of making the grade in the NBA yet such a practice is widespread the other way around in business and educational opportunities.
@@PeteH0121 I would argue most job opportunities are based on connection instead of merit. There are a small percentage of people that get jobs based on merit because they were exceptional in interviews, or have an exceptional skillset. Lots of white people get positions based on the perception they are better. I would argue the same for black applicants. Sometimes people just pick any black person instead of qualified black people. Jobs don't recruit like sports and that's why athletic analogies don't make sense.
Except the NBA is exempt from all this diversity crap…
@@TheSpokenWizard I have not found in my life that my job opportunities were based on connections at all. This may be the case for certain kinds of jobs at certain levels. But even then if you get a job because of connections but can’t do the job you are unlikely to keep it. In a tight job market knowing someone who already works at the company may get you an interview. They same may be true if you are member of a minority they want to hire. In my life it was sometimes luck that I happened to apply for a job that had just open up because someone just quit. I could say I lost out on jobs because they wanted someone younger or prettier but I can’t say MOST opportunities are based on looks. So I doubt most opportunities are based on connections.

While he combats the narrative that the US is currently systematically racist and asians have been descriminated against he fails to clearly distinguish the differences in the two minorities discrimination. (As this would lessen his argument as a whole) Furthermore, while I disagree that america is currently systematically racist, history shows us that it was for a very lengthy amount of time. To say that there are zero lasting effects of this past racist system is incorrect. In fact, the negative cultural impact was devistating. Thus, today's African American population are indeed victims but also posses the faculties to do good and work hard towards success generally.

Davi Clar
Concerns with education, family, and financial stability are fairly universal in settled (i.e. non-nomadic) human societies. Besides, they have to do with natural self-interest, so there is nothing particularly noble about them. These are very ORDINARY virtues which need no special praise.
Basically, the idea is to male a lot of money, in the hope that it will bring contentment. You seem convinced that, if one jumps through the right hoops, the outcome will be 'great', whatever that is supposed to mean.
I would be interested to know what is the CONTENT of these people's lives, apart from material acquisition and academic success. Are they Christians, or are they not?
Jesus says that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'
He also said, '...what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?'
So one's attitude toward Him matters far more in the long run than one's worldly accomplishments.

I can think of plenty of black Americans who did not or do not lag in excellence, in fields which they pursue. You sound like a bigot 'par excellence', and there is nothing excellent about that.
A black American Christian is PRIVILEGED, because he or she will spend eternity with JESUS. Those who refuse to repent and believe in Jesus, regardless of ethnicity, are doomed.
(John 3:18) 'He who believes in Him is not judged; but he who does not believed has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.'

A black man was teaching a class I was taking in Prescott AZ. He related a story of getting a flat tire at 5:30am when he first drove into AZ after a lifetime living in northen FL.
He said it was about 18* outside and too cold for him to get out and change it. So he went to sleep.
He was awakened by a highway patrolman knocking on his window. At first he was nervous but explained to the officer he had a flat tire and it was too cold to change it.
The officer asked if he had a spare. He said he didn't know; that he'd only bought the truck to drive cross-country to his new job. The white officer located the spare under the truck bed, had to lay on his back to lower it, then got out his own jack and proceeded to change the tire while my instructor sat warm in his truck!
Afterwards the officer smiled and said, "Kinda sweaty and dusty now. I Guess I need to go home and put on a fresh shirt! Welcome to Arizona!"
The man was in shock! "I'm 55 years old. I lived my whole life in Florida and nothing like that has ever happened to me before! I located that officer's substation and sent an email to his commander explaining what happened, what this officer had done for me, and telling him it was now my intention to retire in Arizona and never leave!"

@@alwaysright2311 Ayo, very true
I feel like anyone with common sense already knows this but instead victimizes themselves.
It's easier that way
I agree that victimization won't get anyone anywhere in life, but not all minorities have equal paths to success. There are several minority groups- Asians, Indians, and recently African immigrants who do very well in America. They have strong nuclear families, strong work ethics, and even when they live in poor, impoverished settings, their kids seem to keep out of trouble. This difference is largely due to a cultural component. However, I want to point out that for Black Americans, 400 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow have destroyed many Black communities in urban settings. Historical redlining created every major ghetto in metropolitan cities, then mass incarceration destroyed the nuclear family. When you couple poverty with violence and drugs, I think it's challenging to say to a teenager raised by a single mother, surrounded by crime, drugs, and violence, to just work their way to the top and be successful. Most people reach success because of a strong mentor or positive role model or community to push them forward. Therefore, I think it's unfair to compare Asian minorities, who come to this country voluntarily, many maintain their language or culture, as well as the family system, to Black Americans who didn't come to this country voluntarily, and also had much of their customs, language, and culture stripped away from them. And even after the Civil War, faced massive systemic oppression by Whites, so much so that you can analyze from history most of the major areas that were segregated during Jim Crow have not recovered economically for the most part today. So while I have strong critiques for CRT, I think you have to find that balance between holding people accountable and understanding that past historic systemic racism still negatively impacts poor Black communities today.
@@wellnessforbodymindspirit108 So why was the black family doing better in the 70s before the welfare state? It is because they had a better culture and more responsible parenting. Slavery has nothing to do with it. It is the welfare state and other crappy liberal policies. They were actually better off during the Jim Crow era than they are now. Explain how that is possible if slavery is to blame?

I have this intuition that continuing to talk about things in the past that are overly complex and have no clear direction to a suitable solution won't really get us anywhere and it just amplifies tensions and further drives a wedge between people, but it's also not really fair to not acknowledge it.
Any clear thinking person must support Kenny Xu in this thesis and broad observation about our culture which so often gets things exactly backwards and upside down. In fact I support him 10,000% and have been saying much the same thing for many years (and I am not Asian). Plus, it is very important to add that Mr. Xu is not angry or bitter about the disservice so often directed at Asian Americans. Instead, he speaks intelligently and clearly, expresses much gratitude to the countless benefits of being in America, and he is the complete gentleman. Kudos, and I hope he sells millions of copies of his book on this topic. Like it or not, CRT is almost a textbook definition of racism.

Marxism cannot deny its culture...so true. Thank you to you and all the other the people who are speaking out against the root issues of CRT. This radical approach (from the latin word Radix, to deal with the root) is so crucial. Culture comes from the root word "cult", which in latin is "cultis" and means "a form of worship". So what do the Marxist/Communist/Socialist worship? They create idols with their intellect. They exalt themselves and exalt others who agree with them. Karl Marx's best friend Bakunin had this to say about Karl Marx in his 1924 work called "Works": "One has to worship Marx in order to be loved by him. One has to fear him in order to be tolerated by him. Marx is extremely proud, up to dirt and madness." So whose the demigod now? A man who lived teaching ideas which through his disciples have oppressed nations, killed millions upon millions, destroyed economies, and whose ideology advances through manipulation and intimidation with the goal of domination. Can Mordecai Karl Marx, living amidst the evil in the world, solve the evil in the world when he is capable of penning words like his poem "Human Pride": "With disdain I will throw my gauntlet, Full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant, Whose fall will not stifle my ardour, Then will I wander godlike and victorious, Through the ruins of the world, And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator." I think people need to understand the author of Marxism/Communism/Socialism before it accepts the remade emperor's new clothes from Derrick Bell branded as "Critical Race Theory and his protoge Kimberlee Williams Crenshaw's Intersectionality. the fruit is in the seed. The intellectual Elite can wrap it up, mold it, shape it, feed it, grow it, share it, and even rebrand it but CRT is the same seed producing the same fruit as Karl Marx. An orange cannot produce an apple. A thorn cannot produce wheat. The fruit is in the seed. The moment a culture is built upon the seed of pride (I can do what I want", and mixed with the seed of arrogance (no one can tell me what to do), and then you water it with "the end justifies the means"...the only product is rebellion, revolution, and a bloody mess (Robspierre, if alive would probably agree.) So let's look at the dying words of Lenin, "I have committed a great error. My nightmare is to have the feeling that I'm lost in an ocean of blood from the innumerable victims. It is to late to return. To save our country, Russia, we would have needed men like Francis of Assisi..." Our constitution is built upon the antithesis of Marxism. the two cannot coexist. We need to stand and defend the principles which built this nation and though imperfect as it may be, is still the greatest nation on the planet and of all history.
I love the way this segment really delves into the issue and brings up a lot of very specific arguments against this critical crap. I come out of it feeling like I know a lot about it. There's nothing racist about celebrating this country as white and to fight to keep it that way forever through culture and laws. As another said, some people's culture and genetics are different and therefore they should be disqualified from making important decisions and it should be up to the rest of us superior people to decide what happens to them. How is that racist?

Exactly! What about the Iranian Americans, the Armenian Americans, Italian Americans, the Arab Americans? All minorities who thrive in this nation. Totally true, it's a cultural issue, not racial. Get back to God and family values and the problems will fix themselves.
America is built on anti-black racism, not anti-Asian, anti-Arab, anti-Armenian, anti-Hispanic or anti anything else. They know there is a lower class of people they will be assigned a place above, and won't be targets of resource deprivation and police brutality, so these other groups who already harbor anti-black sentiments before they get here, get right in line with the status quo.
Agreed. Those that see racism at every turn are, themselves, racist. Holding your hand out begging for "free" stuff, not accepting their own failures, and whining about being victims are poor excuses for human beings.

We need to unite as Americans and stop allowing ourselves to be divided by politicians and political parties. We live in the best country ever created and have more opportunities than any other people on earth. All this division will be the end of us if it keeps up.

Biden promised to unite America in his Inaugural Speech. Sounds great, but, How's that working out? A promise made, with great standing applause, but then, NOTHING further.
My father always told me that "Your word must be your bond. If another does not keep their word, then no longer associate with them. You know that their words mean nothing."

I am a Korean American. When I was visiting a temple in Cambodia a couple of years ago, one of the guards there asked me where I was from (probably assuming I'm from somewhere in East Asia). When I told him I was American, his eyes grew large and he told me I was so lucky and that his dream was to live in America. I will never forget that. It's easy to constantly complain about the things that are not great about America. But when I think about where I started as a kid - in an immigrant family that started with nothing and then think about where I am today - successful and close to early retirement, I feel so grateful and proud of being American. None of us should take it for granted.
I understand... In Cambodia, I believe spanking by the stick is legal. I am not so sure whether you can understand how many in this country need to tolerate nonsense from CPS. I don't blame many African-Americans' frustrations when Harvard is responsible for their nonsense research efforts saying that spanking is detrimental to mental health of a child. The massive increase of crime recently is proof that Harvard's research is seriously flawed. After all, many at Harvard can afford $3000 per month of childcare while the poor can't.
I learn a lot from my Asian friend growing up who’s been teased and made fun of with very little English but today he’s got the last laugh with his million dollar company.. they work hard and succeed…Americans gotta stop using excuses!

In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

“TWO PARENTS IN THE HOME”

Having two godly parents in the home confers special advantages, but even that does not guarantee 'success'. Nor is it utterly impossible for single parents to raise, by the grace of God, 'successful' children.
For the race is not always to the swift. But what do you mean by 'success'? Earthly riches and glory?
Jesus said that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'
marcus onesimus yes there are no guarantees. Thomas Sowell has been referencing all this clear evidence for years. Two parents in the home gives the same huge advantage no matter what race you are. There are many studies and the data is clear.

Try to avoid using the word 'data' like a mantra, as do acolytes of the cult of Scientism. Well, I used to study physical anthropology as a pastime, and can tell you that the concept of 'race' is NOT well articulated from a scientific standpoint.
'Race' as discussed in America (for example) has more to do with mythology and social perception than with biological reality.
There is one thing which we know for certain, and here DNA science tends to converge with longstanding Biblical revelation. Humans of all 'races' share common ancestral lineage.

@@kbjr1983 bs... Once they got here, they became white... Italians, Asians, Irish were all marginalized the moment they arrived here... Whites realized they needed those groups to help against blacks...j
Irish became police and Italians were administration workers...
@Jorja in Europe they ALL fought against each other, the term white racism became applicable here to denote superiority over non whites...
But white is still not a race.
God bless you Mr Xu! It's true the more you study and work hard the further you get towards your goals in life. Whether it's in a trade, an office, the arts, in any field , work hard, stay focused, stay out of trouble and you'll accomplish your dreams!
Growing up in the Deep South, it’s crystal clear to me that culture is the deciding factor to success. My black friends who had a stable culture at home were successful in school and beyond. My black friends who had unstable cultures at home are leading unstable and challenging lives. Stability and culture are the keys to success, NOT race.
Agree 100%. Stabiliy and culture. Why are both of these things being undermined and destroyed? What takes their place? What influences our development during our formative years? The state and the education system are bad parents. Social media and corporate MSM are corrosive influences and poor cultural substitutes for family and friends.
So glad you are an authority. Your anecdotes are interesting, but don't speak to the disparities in opportunities that black have in this country. Some of us were certainly luckier than others. Where do you even think the disparities in cultures come from? Ending slavery didn't give everyone a level playing field. You living in the south should be well aware of redlining and the wonderful Dixiecrats who would do anything in their power to keep black people in their place.
@@kprieto2655 My observations growing up in the south and seeing where black and white classmates have ended up decades later in their careers echos what Jordan is saying. I'm non-white myself and faced a fair share of prejudice fwiw. You ask where cultural disparities come from, and most people will agree that they are rooted in past injustices. This still doesn't conclude that we have to level the playing field now and settle every score. The struggle to change the culture is the real battle, not the distribution of the spoils. Some folks think money or quotas will sort everything out and accelerate the attitude change. I really doubt it.
@@kprieto2655 Explain, please, the dynamics of HOW racism leads to single-parent families, leads to a mentality of allowing kids to skip school, or makes for a racial minority to engage in crime and shoot people of their own race ? I'm sure that the decades after the Civil War when racism was more common and more overt, black follks had more two-parent families and better prospects (Historical fact). I'm sure generations of Asians came to the US dirt poor, I am absolutely positive that some were bonded labourers, ie, indentured servants, and I am absolutely sure they were subjected to racism as well, but they seem to have stable families and a work ethic that enabled them to prosper. Let me tell you some secrets, Asians assumed that racism exists everywhere (back in their original country where they were the majority, they were racists too), they don't expect the playing field to be level (because even if you take away racial injustices there'll be plenty of other injustices), they don't ask for hand-outs, and they simply work AROUND the racism, got richer, educated their kids and lifted their lot out of poverty.
you have a lot of black freinds.
As a moderate who leans left and a half Asian myself, I have to agree with this young man-- it's about culture and environment/ expectations, not race.
I would include application of laws as well, but I agree.
I would absolutely agree with you but that's where the concept of critical race theory gets a little twisted. I always say it should really be called culture theory instead of race, because that is really what it is addressing, how the history of this country has hurt the African American culture, and how that history has a long lasting impact. And that can be seen throughout the world in similar situations, even if race is not the defining characteristic. It just so happens that in America specifically, those cultural impacts were drawn along lines of color. And therefore, it is kind of a ridiculous argument to say that Asian Americans prove critical race theory wrong because Asian Americans have had a completely different history and experience in this country than African Americans.
Im not saying that nobody struggled but let’s not deny the degrees of discrimination…
@@mayonce6561 100% exactly.

I teach ESL to adults, and the Asian students take notes and come to class with questions. I admire them, especially coming from languages so much different from English.
I agree! When I started work here in London, I was the only one who took a lot of notes during training. So when the instructor asked questions after like a pop quiz, it was I who only had all the answers lol and my colleagues were like "hey can i borrow your notes!" lol
I remember my ESL teacher, Ms. Claire, very fondly.
@@daniellem8783 congratulations on your hard work!
I’m also an ESL teacher and my non Asian students do the same. You’re reinforcing an incorrect stereotype. I’ve had hard working and not so hard working students from all backgrounds.
I have worked with Asian Supervisors. I LOVED it. They recognize intelligence and hard work. People who can bring solutions to the table. They promote based on merit.
Mr. Xu, you are on your way to becoming the Asian Thomas Sowell. That is fully and completely an intended compliment. Good for you, Brother!
I completly agree
Thomas Sowell is America’s National Treasure-I could listen to him for hours. I have no idea how Mr. Sowell, went from being an admitted communist to being such a wise man, but I am just grateful that we have so many hours of his videos and his books. 💕
@@forevercovfefe9369 Sowell often talks about the process of his transition from being a commie in his speeches in youtube. Fun fact, Sowell is a Korean war vet who fought the commies while he was still believed in commie ideology.
Hmmm…Strong families, hard work and education. Sounds like Thomas Sowell, Jason Riley, Booker T. Washington, Daniel P. Moynihan and MANY OTHERS! ✅
Hello Monica,how are you doing?
That’s maybe a few dozen over 200 years then?
Nice.
MLK did say " learn so you can earn"...can't do that on perpetual welfare.
Well I guess learning to stay on welfare will earn....
Welfare is supposed to be temporary- not permanent.
We spent decades getting to the point where we don't think about people's skin color and now they want to take us right back to it
bingo...
I am very perturbed by this. I was already confused when I went to America as a tourist 4 years ago to hear that American women are oppressed....my sister got the feminist message in the 80s..is a ball breaker, Scottish, successful career..I got confused. You see all these outspoken confident, career woman. I now know they were saying they were oppressed because they were not the CEO. And now we have all this divisiveness over race. You are correct. Even in the uk people were becoming colour blind...now everything is about race...because of the bloody left and their identity politics. The UK has got this madness too unfortunately. We have to fight this...and I'm not even from the right ideologically really.
communism...they trying come for us
After 37 years of teaching a diverse population, I never had to discipline an Asian student, they were my most polite and conscientious students and their parents came to open houses.
Where is culture created? Be honest, where does black culture come from?
@@Meng776 I would refer you to listen to Thomas Sowell, He is brilliant and can break it down much more eloquently than me. I grew up in the Soundview Housing Projects in the Bronx. You can look that up on Wikipedia if you want to know my background.
totally agreed. Asians were raised and trained to respect parents, teachers, seniors, etc. All my teacher said samething as you did to me. My former boss loved to hire Asians. He said Asians are smart, polite, and work hard.
@@joannanguyen5594 Saddest thing was watching the Asian students berated and teased as trying to be “white” by the lowest functioning in the class to the point that they dumbed down in order not to be bullied. Sad, very sad.

"Is that too many Asians?" The fact that anyone could think that is horrible.
Asians think like that in their country they're wrong too.
Funny how times change. Once the "Model Minority" now the "Inconvenient Minority"
-- Kenny Xu falsely claimed, "Critical Race Theory asserts that the World and America is divided into a racial caste system."
I've been following the Critical Race Theory movement since the mid-nineties. I have never read or heard of a Critical Race Theorist claim that the World and America is divided into a racial caste system.
@@Billy-sy3ed what does it want if not to drag some down to prop up others? I don't fully understand this topic but I don't think I can agree with it if it takes a governmental force to drag others down.

@Not a Biden Supporter why take it somewhere else? He has an interesting statement related to CRT. Can you refute it? I haven’t seen this caste system asserted by CRTheorists either, but please point me in the direction of literature that says otherwise.

Exaggerating and intentionally labeling race is real racism. Self-vctimizing can not make life better. It came from your hard work. I am originally Asian.

There is no culture where everybody succeeds regardless of what's "important".
Funny thing is you see black people enjoying prosperity rights and opportunities only in white majority countries!! No black minority in asia enjoys the same level of rights and prosperity as in western world, even in africa black people do not get the same rights, respect, prosperity and opportunity as they do in the west!!. So how is the west(or white people) still guilty for black people suffering? If I am wrong correct me please.
@@wowfmomf6126 Why would you compare black people's life in the US to that of black people elsewhere? If you really were for equality you'd compare black life in the US with white life in the US.
@@felixmidas2020 that is right black people deserve the same life In US as everyone else in the US i was just doing that comparison to the rest of the world to let people know that the US is less racist than rest of the world.
@@wowfmomf6126 Ok, that's a fair point. To your original point of "prosperity rights", don't forget that for a long time black neighborhoods weren't given loans so that black people couldn't gather wealth over the generations the way white people could. Without loans it's practically impossible to become a house owner.
I'm one of those people who is always trying to help someone else out. After decades I've stopped for one simple fact. You can't pull someone out of the mud who doesn't want to be pulled out of the mud. They end up trying to pull you into the mud with them and then blaming you because you're both in the mud.
so true -- like a drowning man dragging you under because they are convinced they can't swim.
Not everyone is like that. The real lesson is to be careful who you help.
Don’t use race as an excuse for being lazy, being loud doesn’t mean you are right. Using race as an excuse when getting caught for committing a crime.

On the other hand, not all discrimination is imaginary. It is easy to be 'loud' when speaking out against criminals, or against those who for a variety of reasons may have trouble paying their own bills. But it is not so easy sometimes to examine our own motives; and we shall always be debtors to God--------------every single one of us.

Always the same tired excuse: 'poverty is the fault of the poor'. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary.
It wouldn't hurt some in the 'conservative' camp to read these lines more often:
(James 5:1-2) 'Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.'
Heh you’re funny misguided American
Note that Nigerian immigrants are also high achievers so this is not about black and white and racism.
There's tons of Black americans who are thriving. Hell there were entire Black cities in the early 1900s THRIVING, do NOT let corporate media make it seem like every Black person is impoverished or is struggling. it's infantilization and is so disgusting how they do this. like they are "protecting" us like some children.
Well, i love the movies of Will Smith but he had a speech about how he is being discriminated in his life. I mean he was discriminated to have a house with his own zip-code ... I watch how Black Americans complain while they have 300-400 million dollars net worth like Will Smith. When for some people everything comes down to race is real sad...
Now the difference is when they were thriving what happened? Asian shops didn't get burned down and the people weren't killed.

Kenny Xu is a smart, strong, and respectable man. I hope he succeeds in spreading this message.
The real answer that nobody is willing to talk about: IQ is hereditary. This is proven with parents, parents with higher IQ pass it onto children. It’s proven that IQ affects income, surprisingly IQ correlates to income even more than beauty, height or education does. And just like IQ is hereditary between families, it’s also hereditary between large groups of people, including different continents. This explains the income gap. Critical race theory cannot change biology
