WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

This whole business about IQ I find dubious. Intelligence and ability manifests itself differently in different people.

Indians are moderately slavish towards whites but still in the past India has given them the boot.
Slavishness among other east asian peoples is by far the most acute, best example is Thailand. Uninformed people on the true natures and dispositions of whites in China, Japan and Korea will behave in a similar slavish manner as your Thailand neighbours.

I am just an average dark south Indian Tamil guy but unlike african and east asian, and even whites I can easily assimilate, blend and even stand up for myself in almost any situation.

If a white guy suddenly finds himself in a predominantly hispanic neighbourhood, the hispanics will easily humiliate him by calling him names like cornflakes or gringo and so on...me on the other hand will quickly pass for hispanic even though I don't know a word of spanish.

Hrithick Roshan is an ugly pale ghosty white guy.
The very fact that whites in America are unable to distinguish ethnic groups is indicative that their IQs are low.
Paki in Persian means pure.
Even though I don't speak slavic, latin or germanic languages (except english) I have no trouble distinguishing the various speakers.

TO CHINA:
First off, Hrithik Roshan is NO Osama Bin Laden look-a-like, to even joke about that is stupid and immature. But then again you are probably some 12 year old prepubescent (pree-pube-bes-scent) boy, who probably has features of that of a girl, so I understand how your low self-esteem about how YOU look turned into anger when you wrote that idiotic post. I don't see you in million dollar movies! I don't see you in the contest for sexiest asian male! , which by the way was won by another sexy Indian guy (Shah Rukh Khan). And who ever said that Indian guys think they are "all that" ( I hate to use that phrase, but hey, a quote's a quote!) because they have "caucasian features"? I think that is based on your own stupid assumption, Indians are different from Arabs, from PakiSTANIS (and the term is not "paki", how would you like it if people just went "hey chink!") and from white people, just like how Chinese are different from Koreans who are different from Japanese. You were using the word "paki" and "arab" as if they were the same word and meant the same thing, as well as Indian. I definitely know a lot of East Asian people who get mad when people automatically assume they are Chinese, and when they correct the person by going "no, I am Korean," the person goes, "same thing" it takes away your pride, and strips you of your ethnicity. And no where on your made up list was there the scores for Indian people, I saw (in your words) "Pakis and Arabs," but no where is there Indian, and don't feed me that bs that its the same thing. There is an obvious difference, racially, culturally, geographically, and religously. And don't ever use the word "paki" again, it's so offensive, what if i had said "a chink is a chink is a chink" (whatever the hell you were trying to say when your wrote something similar to that), yeah i know it doesn't make you feel so good. And those scores truly don't prove anything, people should be judged on WHO they are rather than WHAT they are.
NdN GiRl.....man, you are so racist!!!! it makes me sick ~*~ Thursday, March 21, 2002 at 17:40:53 (PST)

Hrithik Roshan? He looks like Osama Bin Laden without the turban and the beard!

To all you Indian boys out there, if you think you're all that just because you have white features, then you're obviously already second-rate below the whites. And did you already forget that after September 11th, your fellow caucasians and best buddies(the whites) didn't bother to differentiate you from the arabs...after all, to them, a paki is a paki is a paki!

And once and for all, here are average IQs for each race:

Chinese, Japanese, Korean 104
Europeans 98
North Americans & Australians 98
Pakis & Arabs 87
SE Asians & Pacific Islanders 86

So there you have it. All you Indians fit right where you thought you would be: just below the whites! And the best asians, the east asians are on top!
