With all due respect, I'm not sure about your conclusion. Many of the industrial giants of the Philippines--Sy, Tan, Gokongwei, Ty, etc. were poor Chinese immigrants or first generation Filipino-Chinese who went from rags to riches. Indeed, Chinese are so dominant economically in Southeast Asia that this has led to historic ethnic strife (Indonesia and Malaysia, most notably). I don't think they can achieve such a standing by being lazy.

Disclaimer: I am not Chinese-Filipino.

They have more holidays than any other nation I am aware of. Three weeks for Spring Festival...The industrial output of the whole country falls to zero.

They do tend to place a higher premium on education, but this is because the only way for ordinary people to get anywhere in China is through exam scores. When these people come to the west where things are slanted more towards effort, by and large they struggle.

All this is including my response is a generalization...ymmv

Yep. Such research is very unPC and can lead an academic to trouble. Look into Charles Murray's "The Bell Curve" and you'll see what I mean.

Personally, I think "racial averages" re intelligence and other success factors vary over time and social contexts. Read Thomas Sowell's book ETHNIC AMERICA and you'll get a lot of historical support re the fluidity of "racial averages" re intelligence, etc.

just wait until they get rich and lazy like us and stop listening to their parents, start mouthing off to them and stuff...

At the moment the only reason they do better at school etc. is because of their family values

false...

There is nothing politically incorrect about intelligence test data. Such data is studied in colleges and universities everywhere. The politically incorrectness comes in when somebody uses that data to 1) support an agenda 2) discriminate 3) attribute the findings to genetic arguments for superiority/inferiority.

A scientist cannot reasonably conclude the 'superiority' of a race given the varied results of intelligence scores on intelligence tests. If the story is true and he was stopped from his work, it's because of one of the above, or his research was full of obvious flaws.

I completely agree
