Ah, yes, "privileged". Yet another word perverted for unearned advantage...

An Introduction To The Blindingly Obvious is automatically prohibited from Facebook because the entire site is politically incorrect.

"...with much to learn"? You mean, "...with many asses to kiss"... lest you be hunted down and canceled by those supposedly superior people.

Like those dinners where you pay a lot of money to have black ladies tell you everything wrong with white ladies!

And deceitfully inconsistent - as are most antisemites.

That list of "white" accomplishments is, uhhh, larded through with Jewish acheivements like the polio vaccine.

Yet most posters on Unz are virulent in their denunciation of the unclean Jewish "race". And can't bring themselves to admit the Jewish roots of Western democracy.

I think there are better places than Unz to send impressionable young white kids who are starting to catch on to the scam of racial politics.

Amusing! Jewish people aren't white!

Step right up and sing with our hostess - and the cited author, BTW - the praises of the Ashkenazi!

By the way - did you ever say what you wanted done with Elton and David -- or Brad and George?

Rad, Fred Reed mentions Asians, but he didn't say WHICH Asians.

So let's assume, for a minute, that he meant the far East. That would exclude Indians.

Indians have become practically rock stars in the last half century, when it comes to electronics - and things that didn't exist in other sciences before 1960 or thereabouts.

Maybe that had a LOT to do with the fight against global racism - and against the caste system? Maybe the Indians' talent was there all along, just as plenty of upper-class American and European women could have gone to college along with their brothers if their parents hadn't said "no" up until the 1970s or so? (Note: that's "plenty" not "all.")

From the BBC, in 2019:

Excerpts:

"...Historians, though, say that until the 18th Century, the formal distinctions of caste were of limited importance to Indians, social identities were much more flexible and people could move easily from one caste to another.

"New research shows that hard boundaries were set by British colonial rulers who made caste India's defining social feature when they used censuses to simplify the system, primarily to create a single society with a common law that could be easily governed.

"Independent India's constitution banned discrimination on the basis of caste, and, in an attempt to correct historical injustices and provide a level playing field to the traditionally disadvantaged, the authorities announced quotas in government jobs and educational institutions for scheduled castes and tribes, the lowest in the caste hierarchy, in 1950..."

Of course, there are still problems today.

Self-denunciation has parallels in the religious practices of hair shirts and self-flagellation. You can still find such practices in European catholicism (a little) and the moslem world. Self-abuse proves your superiority to those still wallowing in sin.

"Rad, Fred Reed mentions Asians, but he didn't say WHICH Asians."

He does in other articles. I so apologize for not posting his entire blog for your convenience.

The point: those who can, do. Those who don't, bitch and whine and wheedle things, blaming those who CAN for not giving prosperity to them.

Lenona, NPR's gotcha covered.

Crid, I was thinking more of India itself rather than Indians in the U.S.

In other words, just as China was pretty technologically advanced several thousand years ago, while some other "nations" were still covered in glaciers, and is still a world power without any European domination, India could have been pretty much the same, much earlier than I said, under different political circumstances.

Well, political conditions certainly count for something.

Should could begin her education by walking around Deanwood, alone and unarmed, late at night.

Oh, the lessons she could learn. My stars!

She's kind of dead-on. She is white and privileged (unearned?), and has a lot to learn, and unlearn.
