There's hope yet for the millions of Americans who consume this stuff daily.<BR/><BR/>I would like to point out to Fred that that bite he ascribes to American women is not so much a result of feminist indoctrination but of the parenting practices of our American fathers. Mine expected me to defend myself verbally. He also discouraged drinking until I reached legal age and would've considered the imbibing of tequila unladylike.

Mexicans can remain in Spanish-language radio, tv, newspapers, and never have to learn English. Shameful.<BR/><BR/>As for family formation among Blacks, yes under segregation while illegitimacy rates, teen pregnancy rates were higher, compared to whites, there was nothing like the illegitimacy plague we have now. I don't think it was the Welfare State either though that made it worse undoubtedly.<BR/><BR/>I think it was birth control and preference for violent tough guys over steady wage earners by women. During Segregation (and without birth control that was reliable and effective) women of all races selected mostly for steady, reliable, and dependable wage earners mostly who would stay out of trouble.<BR/><BR/>With the ability to have sex without kids, women were free to choose who they wanted. For reasons I don't understand, African-American women (like Mexican women) prefer violent hyper-macho guys over steady earners. Which carries over to when they decide to have kids. That women would have three separate kids with separate fathers should be a huge indicator in these groups that something radical is going on with womens' selection criteria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-24251205219631065332007-07-23T16:50:00.001-07:002007-07-23T16:50:00.001-07:00Steve, this was one of your most insightful VDare ...Steve, this was one of your most insightful VDare columns in a good while.<BR/><BR/>Tell us, Steve, if Jorge Castaneda visited your park-mates, would he fit right in, or would he (and many upper-class Mexicans) quietly think "Thank goodness we're rid of this bunch!

It would be more accurate to say that "African-Americans during segregation had radically different standards of sexual conduct than white Americans." The idea that welfare and liberalism caused the "collapse of the black family" is BS.

There may be Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, African Americans, and myriad other groups walking around, but you're not really hanging out with them as an affluent lefty. Aside from a few token highly-educated African Americans, your diversity is limited mainly to WASPs, Northeast Asians, and Jews.

You could make an argument that this is what really caused the sexual revolution - one dominant ethny making a large enough chunk of the world safe enough for their women that the party could really get started.

In terms of behavior?<BR/><BR/>I'd say it's pretty much like African-Americans. The hardest, most macho man gets rewarded with the hottest women. Which in turn does not engender respect for women among men (since that produces a few winners and a lot of losers).<BR/><BR/>IMHO Mexican and African-American culture derive their values and rewarded behaviors from the choices of men and women in the mating dance. African-Americans during segregation had radically different standards of sexual conduct, so it would appear that culture can change radically.<BR/><BR/>In theory, you'd expect "Americanization" if the number of immigrants to native Anglos was small enough that social forces made the male-female choices change. But of course there's a tidal wave of immigrants and re-inforcing culture from Mexico (unlike Ireland or Italy) right next door.<BR/><BR/>Why the Macho-ness, the drunkeness, the tatoos and bruises? Because that's what gets rewarded by the hottest barrio women. Just like Mayor Tony's "power" got rewarded by a string of Latina and Korean mistresses, allegedly.<BR/><BR/>The law-breaking that Steve cites, it's all connected to what gets rewarded. While generally nice Japanese, South Korean, and Chinese women prefer men who are professional, law-abiding, with good incomes and a profitable career.<BR/><BR/>I suppose you probably *could* in theory change Mexican men's behavior if you could establish a reward system like that, but the practical difficulties seem impossible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
